Attended subject show and got to put some faces to email names.  Barry Beck was a guest tier.  Class act.  After he finished tying, he passed around a board of the fly he just tied and asked every one that "listened to the demo to take one."  Watched Harrison Steeves tie.  Another class act.  He was selling his flies for $1.50 ( That’s right- $1.50 from a world class tier on patterns he originated and made famous) and would spend an hour showing you how to tie it and others specifically asked for.  At times you forget how nice some people are that "made it to the top" in this sport.

Response:

Good meeting you Lou.  A couple Roffians met at noon in the lobby for a howdy and I went to lunch with Wayne and his lovely bride. Hey, if anyone is going back today, I need some help.  There is a guy there selling vises that hang around your neck and sit on your chest. I lost his business card and I need his address and URL.  It was his first show and he is just introducing them to the market.  These vises are awesome.  Instead of being hunched over your fly tying bench, you can kick back in a recliner in front of the TV or even stand up.  They also fold flat so they are out of the way if you need to answer the phone or the like.  I thought they would be great for us cripples with bad backs or teaching fly tying where you could walk up to each student and show them the technique.  So, If anyone goes to the show, I need this guy’s info. The gear whore bug got me real bad.  Just had buy that twelve-piece hollow punch set to punch out foam disks for fly tying.  Of course, I had to include the two-way sharpener for the twelve-piece hollow punch set to punch out foam disks for fly tying.  Then I had to pay $3.50 apiece for a couple of 4"X6" foam squares that I knew I could get in size 12"X10" at my wife’s store for $1.25.  But of course, the foam went with the two-way sharpener for the twelve-piece hollow punch set to punch out foam disks for fly tying. Signed up for all the raffles.  Gonna win all the raffles.  Being first with your tickets in some of the raffle boxes has gotta count for something.  The door prize for the show is a boat motor and trailer. Thomas and Thomas is giving a way a 4wt(drool).  Bunch of other neato things there.          Have fun all.

Great time at the show.  After we had lunch with Frank, Joe and SWMBO showed up and we chatted a while with Lou.  I think SWMBO is leaning toward getting into this fishing thing but she showed a LOT of CONCERN about Frank&Frank and the mid-stream massage babe at the last RRR.  Which brings up another point.  It looks like another RRR coming in August 2001.  Katie has ordered iron underwear and Steve has picked up a case of 12ga. insurance.  After such terrific water levels and temperatures over the past year, this should be a banner year for larger smallmouth.  Stay Tuned! I picked up three chicken necks (a little tougher than beef jerky but didn’t taste bad, damn pricey though) and a bunch more stuff at the show.  I’m starting to need a closet just to store it in and I STILL don’t have enough stuff to tie a single pattern!  I did find the 2/0 hooks and Tysons promises to come through with those chicken feathers .  So…….this is cheaper than buying flys, huh?

Yeah, I’m not sure we should have shared that story.   I kept having to repeat, "This happened *before* I got there."   <g SWMBO & I got a late start due to a minor furnace problem at home, and missed the lunch and Frank by about 5 min. as it turned out.   Still managed to spot Wayne & SO in the crowd later & was asking if Lou & Frank had made it when the guy reading my r.o.f.f. fall ball hat confessed to being Lou. Great timing on that; & great to meet another roffian.   Sorry I missed ya Frank.   Turns out Wayne’s SO & mine are almost exactly the same height (or lack thereof). Roffians aside, I really enjoyed the show.   I’d never been to any similar event, and it was great to see all those goodies on display.   Having two unfinished blanks waiting in the wings, I really wasn’t in the market for any serious hardware, but SWMBO did get to try on some waders for size (progress is slow, but it’s progress), and I did enter a few raffles to dilute Frank’s chances a bit (sorry Frank, the T&T is mine.) Had no luck finding jungle cock eyes.   A couple vendors plainly said they were too expensive to bring along.   I’ll stick to Plan A for the swap. Maybe some other time. In the end, I got out cheap, only buying one book.   Had a great time, though. Joe F.

Question:

Hi, After 25 years of fly-in trips in Canada this year I am responsible for the kitchen.  Our previous chef has "retired" and I offered.  I would like your ideas on the menu.  Please send your best camp recipes. Often we are limited to a propane burner but this year we have a propane BBQ, stove-top, and a good possibility of an oven….WOW.  Typically our fare consisted of burgers, steaks, potatoes, lunch meats, snack food and fish of course.  To be honest, my predecessor was cheap and easy.  So, and good ideas and a little more variety would be welcome. Thanks, Tom Gardner

Response:

This is an awesome and easy recipe! Get some aluminum foil.  Put some fillets and whatever veggies you like, and seasonings on the foil, and wrap it up. Put it in the coals of a campfire and cook! Dan Dow

Response:

Tom,  Buy yourself a Dutch Oven.  There is almost nothing you can’t cook with the Dutch oven.  On fishing and/or rafting trips I regularily make corn bread, enchilada casseroles, cakes, cobblers, lasagna.  You are only limitted by imagination.  It is also much easier than most people think.  It is fun to watch the group’s jaws drop when you open up with fresh bisquits or corn bread and then finish up with chocolate cake or apple crisp.  I have found that nearly any casserole you can make at home can easily been done in the Dutch oven.  Using charcoal is the easiest to control temp but on canoe and raft trips I just use coals and twigs.  Ted

What is there to do in Belize? I have been told that it has the best fly fishing in the world. But I would like to more about the country. Is the snorkelling good, scuba diving and beaches worth the trip? And what about the Mayan ruins, tropical rain forest and anything else you can tell me?

We stayed in Placencia in May 2000 and stayed at the Rum Point Inn.  The beaches were okay but not good for walking out into the water and swimming – full of turtle grass.  The Mayan ruins – we visited Lubantuum and Nimli Punit – were amazing, particularly Lubantuum.  There was no snorkeling from the beach, but a one hour boat ride got us out to some amazing places for both snorkeling and scuba diving.  Absolutely breathtaking.  We didn’t go on the Monkey River tour or to the Jaguar preserve (ran out of $$) but friends who did go said it was well worthwhile. May seems to be an off-season so it’s hard to tell whether we visited at the best time. We weren’t crazy about Placencia or the Rum Point Inn, but I’ve heard others extoll the virtues of both.  We definitely enjoyed the snorkeling and Mayan ruins, and would recommend it for that.

Another option at a cheaper price would be to contact Tom Counseller in Cedar Grove, IN.  He makes fiberglass dories(same as a drift boat, I think) and I have taken several of them down the Grand Canyon.  He made many of the boats you see on the New River.  I don’t know his prices exactly, but I can guarantee you could get a boat and trailer for less than $5000 from him.  Let me know if you would like the phone number.

Bob. a drift boat is a rowing dory (lots of rocker, high sides with a raised bow and stern) designed originally to trout and salmon fish the fast water rivers out west. They are also used to run big water rivers like the New and the Grand Canyon. They are becoming increasingly popular as fishing platforms in the Southeast US tailwater fisheries. Steve, the Trout guides around the Hiwassee River in Tennessee (USA) are using Drifters these days. Try Hiwassee Outfitter (sorry, no phone #), they have them for the guide service. Are you looking for a fishing boat or something to run whitewater. Take a look at inflatable "drifters" such as the Aire Super Puma or NRS Slalom. Considerably cheaper and you don’t have to trailer them. Last time I looked at a Drift Boat they were going for about $5000!!! SYOTR Larry

Question:

To whom it may concern:     I want to fish the Genesee River in Rochester, NY but was told I need to get slinkys otherwise conventional split shot will forever hangup.  Can anyone provide me with some solid information on what I need to make these.

     The "formula" for slinkies is something like the following (sometimes I make them; sometimes I buy them – I’m an amature at this):      You start with hollow nylon cord.  Strong cord is called parachute cord, but you can also find this in any hardware/Kmart/etc. as drapery cord.  I also got some from the camping section.  It is a woven nylon cord with another nylon string/cord inside.  You start by cutting it somewhere and extracting the inside cord, leaving a hollow core.      You need a small butane lihgter for the next steps.  the cord is cut into small lengths, ranging from 2 to 4" in length.  Take the butane lighter, heat one end of a strip to the melting point and close it.  You can use a piece of paper or cardboard to do this and prevent small burns and nylon sticking to your fingers.      Then you fill the tube with split shot, using size 6’s or 8’s.  The little tubes will take about 4, and the big tubes will take up to 8 or so.  In this manner, you will be able to adjust the weight you use, depending on the current where you are fishing.      The next step, of course, is to close the tube.  You push the spli shots down close to each other, against the closed end, and then you heat the other end.  Repeat the process for closing it up.      You can buy equipment and lay it all out (cut pieces, split shot, lighter, etc.), and make slinkies on a "production" basis – just like tying up 2 dozen flies of the same kind.      I suppose the next question will be how to attach them to your leader?

If you’re not losing hooks and lead on the bottom, you are not trying hard enough. A simple way to go deep is to double a short length of nylon over your leader (with one shot to hold it in place) and add as many shots as you need to get the depth.  When they hang, with luck they will slide off the end and you’ll get most of your terminal tackle back. — |  Donald Phillipson, 4180 Boundary Road, Carlsbad Springs,  | |        Ontario, Canada, K0A 1K0, tel. 613 822 0734         |

Pls be as detailed as possible and it would be a big help if you could in- dicat where one could get some of the materials.

  Unless you’re into S&M, slinkys and flycasting don’t mix.     A better bet is to make small "mini heads" out of lead core trolling line. Cut the leadcore into several six and twelve inch segments. Whip a loop onto each end of these segments. You can now loop these to the end of your leader in any combination you please. To make an thirty inch head loop two twelve’s and six incher together and so on. Tie the tippet directly to the terminal loop of your head.    The result is a relatively easy mess to cast that will get you *down* and doesn’t tend to hang up. Excellent system when fishing surf on rocky coast lines where every cast gets wrapped in crud.    Tight lines and open loops, Ralph

Response:

You can buy "Quick Kits" that include the cord, pre-stuffed with shot. Contact: Scott Eno, P.O. Box 373, N. Syracuse, NY 13212.  In some tackle shops, his one ounce kit sells for $6.95.  If you should decide to buy the shot and cord separately, I urge you NOT to cut the cord to length before stuffing the shot into them.  Do what Scott Eno has done: stuff the entire cord with shot (one end sealed with a lighter/candle) then just cut and singe to the size you desire.  Cutting the cord first leads to wasted cord as it readily unravels when you stuff the shot in.

Response:

Bob, in CA we take green paracute cord and singe the end with a match. Then stuff with BBs or other shot to desired weight and singe the remaining end.    Clip this onto a snap swivel to place on your line ahead of the lure or bait.  I never heard of this for fly fishing but it is popular with bait fisherman in salmon and steelhead water.

    Ron – You don’t see many trying to flyfish the Puyallup River because, by the time the steelhead arrive in the Summer or Fall, the river is floured (like coffee with cream).  Once the snow melt on the glaciers is done and we start getting ice melt, only stink baits really work well on this glacier-fed river.
