Funny you should mention this. Our club speaker this month was an interesting ol’ character named Harry Smith who uses a very similar technique to illicit frenzied response from bass. His fly is a hookless bird pattern about the size of a baby bird. He simply ties the birdfly to a short (3-4") spring loaded leader that is tied directly to the rod tip….No reel!. Harry gets into the weeds and begins dabbling the little birdie here and there until he gets the attention of one or more bass and then the fun begins. The video footage he presented is absolutely amazing! The fish grab the fly, take it down, eventually let it go….then come back for more. Harry claims several hundred strikes in an hour. It’s amazing that the fish keep after the pattern in spite of their lack of success in acquiring any protein from the effort. — -dnc-

Response:

There is a version of fly fishing practised in the UK called "dapping". It involves the use of a long rod, a light line and a fine leader. The rod is fished down wind from a boat and the wind bounces the fly from wave to wave. This sounds like the word you need. Although, your description does not sound like fly fishing in the traditional sense.

My understanding is that dapping isn’t usually done with a fine tippet. After all, the tippet isn’t supposed to get into the water. — visit my web site: http://home.earthlink.net/~royalwulff/

<SNIP My understanding is that dapping isn’t usually done with a fine tippet. After all, the tippet isn’t supposed to get into the water.

Your understanding is correct. Using too fine a leader is a serious mistake when dapping. I have never used anything less than eight pound mono. Dapping tends to attract large fish. http://www.fishandfly.co.uk/jbedit0699.html http://www.fishandfly.co.uk/jbedit0900.html http://www.amazingoutdoors.com/0,2010,S74-P166-A7436-TA,00.html http://www.masterflyfishing.com/tactics/nymphs/page4.htm http://www.actravel.co.uk/shannon.html http://www.irishfieldsports.com/newpage64.htm You might find these interesting as well; http://www.flymail.com/graphcat/dapping.html TL MC

Question:

During the summer in the 80-90 deg F outside temp range, it runs best with the needles all the way in (leaner). As the temperature has been dropping I have been drawing the needles out, around 60 it is happy in the middle position, 40 and below wants the highest (richest) position. I am using an EIS so cold junction compensation of the thermocouple readings shouldn’t be a problem. I think I will give the needle jet change a try, anyways. At full throttle I am getting about 1050 F EGTs, and about 325 on the CHT’s. This engine is a pusher mount, CGS Hawk. My only real complaint is in the midrange. Full throttle is good, 3000 rpm is good. Cruise at 5700 rpm is a bit over 1100. Plugs have been looking OK, classic light tan color, so I kind of trust the EGT reading I have been getting. But during powered descent, pattern entry and approach, sometimes you want that range from about 4200-5200 rpm, and thats where the temperatures start to soar. When they exceed 1150 and head rapidly for 1200 I get nervous, and it adds a lot to the workload during landing approach to have that red warning light flashing at you. I have gotten kind of used to entering the pattern at cruise speed, throttling back to 3000 revs and droppping the flaps, and riding it down that way, which probably makes for better landings than if I was playing with the power all the way down. Still, it should be possible to adjust the midrange to not over-lean the mixture…

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I am just now preparing to change the jets in my DCDI 503. In the summer I use 158 main jets, 2.70 needle jets, and 11K2 needles with good results. Much below 40 degrees F I am seeing the EGT’s getting alarmingly high, so I got some 160 main jets, as per the chart. Do you also replace the needle jets? My EGT temperatures are highest between 1/2 and 3/4 throttle, as might be expected, so I suspect I should change the needle jets as well try just raising the needle,,,,,the main jet change from 158 to 160 is prolly within the tolerances of the jets,,,,, — Tri-State Kite Sales 1121 N Locust St Mt Vernon, IN 47620 http://www.trikite.com

Yes, I agree. Check the line to make sure, let it dry and use some line cleaner/dressing. If that doesn’t work, make sure you are mending your line so that that current isn’t pulling it under. DAYGLOW York Team DBE

You are correct.

That was the first time the Francos and Anglos did battle on N.A. soil. The fight for Canada happened much later, after the U.S./British thing was pretty much settled (but before the North/South disagreements).This all happened when Louis Riel rallied the French and the Metis for independence from the Brits in Canada. They all gathered to yell insults at General Wolfe et al on the Plains of Abraham, but I don’t remember the exact date. Yes its true, we Canadians actually had our own war that involved no one but ourselves. For such an apathetic bunch, we musta been really pissed to start fightin’ amongst ourselves about it! Why do we always apologize for winning? Because it’s the polite thing to do.

that was in 1970 after crowds of angry francophone snowmen pelted then Prime Minister Trudeau with bottles of screech during the annual Quebec City Winterfest riot – this happens every year on the Quebecois National fete (holiday) named after the dead French monk St Jean De Batiste.

As far as I can tell, G Loomis doesn’t yet (and probably never will) offer an unconditional warranty on their rods. Gary Loomis must be laughing all the way to the bank – he charges more for the same rod than other manufacturers do, then he charges you more when it breaks and you want a replacement. My point is, you say that prices are so expensive because of the warranty on some rods, why are Loomis rods(which don’t carry the unconditional warranty) as expensive as their equivalent Sage (et. al) rods? Performance? Doubt probably! I would much rather spend a couple extra bucks to help me if for some reason my fly rods breaks than to spend a a couple extra bucks to help Gary Loomis’ pay his insurance on his Mercedes! I own a Loomis rod, and while it is of what I consider average performance, I will never buy another one because I find other manufacturer’s rods as good, if not better, and they come with the added benefit of the lifetime warranty. Which, by the way, I have never had to use in 8 years of fly fishing and I hope I never have to. But its there, just in case.

Hi all, Sage has a new series of specialty rods for very light fishing situations. They have 3 sizes available for 1998. Size 0, 1 and 2 line rods and complete outfits. I have personally tried these rods/outfits and they cast very well. Sage worked with Scientific Angler to develop the new fly lines for these rods. If you are interested in fishing 7x and 8x tippet with #20 and smaller flies you might want to take a look. If this is not your ‘cup of tea’, then don’t let it ruin your day.

(piscataqua river) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Could any one tell me when the stripers start running in NH. coastal area. I don’ know about NH, but the stripers are almost always running at the mouth of the Merrimack River by the first week in May. But, judging by reports I’ve already heard of schoolies hitting in Rhode Island, I think it’s going to be an early year. Get your rods ready, it won’t be long now… -bd

Would that be the phorthisia (spelling) bush? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Ole Ralph Garlalnd used to say, You never go fishing for striped bass untill the "Shad Bush" is in full bloom. Shad bush, (Forsythia), blooms in early spring, bright yellow blossoms!

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Ive heard of divers seeing big cows just laying on the bottom during the winter months, I can imagine if you could stand the cold and drop a bait right in front of their big puss, one could catch them all year.

I’ve heard a good early spot is out by Adams Point near the lab. Plan on going there in the next week or so if the weather gets nice. jc

Over the past several (6) years I’ve always got into them in the first 2 weeks of May at the trestle at the Hampton R. I was there about an hour ago, in fact. Been fishing it a little for the past few weeks, nothing doing right yet, though a small baitfish followed my fly in once :- Gotta take encouragement where ya find it ! Today was windier than it looked and colder than it looked, but it beats working through lunch…. jc
