Having become more than slightly intereted in the maine clave…..a question or two if I may.. Dave did you say you thought they were out of camps…i.e. cabins? apparently i can’t get there from here and can only get so close….then they have to transport me….right? Are there campfrounds, as in tents, available. Could a person bring their own boat? Am I a day late and a dollar short? ps……any boddy into the travel buddy thing?

There is room in Steve Zimmerman’s cabin. apparently i can’t get there from here and can only get so close….then they have to transport me….right?
Right. Are there campfrounds, as in tents, available.
The campfrounds and the campgrounds close the week before the clave. Could a person bring their own boat?
Yes. Am I a day late and a dollar short?
No. ps……any boddy into the travel buddy thing?
If you want to go to the clave, John, I can probably get you in. But, remember, the "coupon" is not good for the clave. Pick a time….. Dave
Having become more than slightly intereted in the maine clave…. ….any boddy into the travel buddy thing?
John, there is a campsite very close to Middle Dam and Lakewood Camps that is administered by the South Arm Campground. http://www.atlanticcapitalcorp.com/southarm/index.html South Arm, the main campground, closes on Monday September 11. There is a possibility they could be talked into letting us use the wilderness campsite for the rest of the week, though. I have talked with the guy and he seems agreeable enough. It takes a boat to get from South Arm to the campsite, it’s about four miles. If, and this is a BIG if, I can make it I’d be staying at that campsite with Kristine & Kipper the hound. I’m not gonna be able to do a guys only trip twice in one year. I’m gonna sell this to Kristine as a trip to Vermont, New Hamshire, Maine and a return through Montreal with a couple of days of fishing thrown in.
What kinda boat you got ? — Ken Fortenberry
John, It’s a long tradition in Maine to just pull over on a dirt road and camp, if the camps Ken mentioned don’t want you on their plot, just find a nice clear spot and setup. As long as you don’t build a campfire you will not be hassled about it. Back when I had a pickup with a cap, and not the ‘dadmobile’ that I drive today, I often just camped in the bed of the truck. I’m probably coming up to the clave for a day and a night (dates are TBD) and will probably be using my tried and true just find a wide spot in the road and camp technique. Flyfish

Fly Fishing Fisherman Wiki » Fishing Flies » Help with mounts, please, CANON/EOS/FL/FD
How about used Macro lenses…what could I get that would be relatively inexpensive and still provide the ability for an object about 1/4" to fill 35mm ? Thanks, again, very very much. — TimW
anybody that uses canon equipment has *got* to be a fish-killin’, beer drinkin’ reprobate. olympus rules! email me with your detailed needs, buddy, and i will try to find something for you. happy thanksgiving! wayno – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –
Tim, These will not fit an EOS mount. I beleive you can get and FD/EOS adapter, however you lose all your metering functions – not a good thing eh! If you need bellows there are the Novaflex autobellows for EOS, you may have to hunt around for them second hand, I beleive that they are not cheap. Alternatively I use Hoya close-up filters on a 50mm 1.8 lens, these do a good job, you have to be very careful with your focusing and depth of field. Canon now actually make extension tubes for EOS – however I don’t know how much they cost, so you I can’t comment on them. Regards, AS
: [deleted] : No. The mounts are completely different. FL and FD were the mounts used on : their pre-autofocus SLR cameras such as the FTb, F-1, and T-90. : Is there an adapter ? AutoFocus is unimportant and the TTL metering should : work regardless ? Pasted from my save file: Can any one refer me to some resources on the internet that explain the difference betwen Canon’s FD and EF Lenses? I also would like to find out the compatibility issues of FD lenses with Canon EOS Cameras?
Canon EF lenses are autofocus (usually with manual focus capability); they fit Canon EOS camera bodies. Aperture is 100% electronic and can only be set from the camera body. EF lenses cannot be mounted on a F, A, or T series (FD) camera body; adapters are not available. Canon FD lenses are manual focus only; they fit on the older Canon F, A and T series camera bodies. Aperture is set on the lens by turning a ring or placed on "A" (or "O") for automatic aperture setting. FD lenses cannot be mounted on an EOS (autofocus) camera without an adapter. FD/EF adapters are either optical or macro. Macro adapters will not allow the lens to focus to infinity. Optical adapters made by Canon are useable only on certain expensive telephoto lenses. Optical adapters made by 3rd parties are not noted for quality. When FD lenses are used with any EF adapter, focus will be manual and metering must be performed manually with the lens stopped-down to the taking aperture. Dave Herzstein http://www.kjsl.com/~dave/index.html Bill Jameson
You can probably achieve fair to good quality if your are careful with tripod mounted camera and close-up lens attachments that are much cheaper than extension tubes and bellows. Check with B&H in NY.
For inexpensive macro shots with an EOS, get a set of independently-made extension tubes I can’t find these….what do I ask for ? What is the best I can hope for on this in terms of ‘magnification’ ?
Kenko is a brand name of some extension tubes. There are others. Look in the B&H ads in the mags. Canon has there own set (more expensive.) Now, as far as ‘magnification’ is concerned, I hope you realize that you are delving into an area of photography where simple one line answers on USENET are not going to serve you well. Suggest you start reading some books on macro photography. Magnification is a function of object distance (from lens), the focal length of the lens, and the image distance (from lens to film). Change any one of these three and you will change the magnification. As an experiment, pick up a plain ‘ol magnifying glass, and focus an image (let’s say from your monitor screen) onto the back of your hand. Then walk a few feet away and try again. You’ll notice that the image on your hand is smaller. What you’ve done is change the object distance and observed the difference in size due to it. Magnification is defined as the image distance divided by the object distance. Thus the closer you can get to an object the greater the magnification. Conversely, if you can increase the image distance then you will also get greater magnification. What extension tubes accomplish is the latter. They move the lens away from the film, thus increasing the magnification. A ring light would be a good light source for your photos of fishing flies. Could this still hook up through the shoe and provide TTL ?
Yes, there are ring lights that will work with EOS and still have TTL flash control. How about used Macro lenses…what could I get that would be relatively inexpensive and still provide the ability for an object about 1/4" to fill 35mm ?
Let’s see, a 35mm frame is 1.5” long, the item is 1/4" long, so the magnification required would be (1.5)/(1/4) = 6. You are talking ‘real’ macrophotography, it IS NOT the stuff most people think about when they buy the so called 105mm ‘macro’ lenses! You’d need the bellows unit, and a lens that could work with it. Canon makes them. There are third party items as well. Real macrophotography is very involved, and costs bucks. Canon publishes a "Macro" book; B&H has it listed for $18, I suggest you order it. BTW, Canon just came out with a special macro lens that can go to 5x, almost your requirement! Expect to pay around $1050 for it. The focal length is only 65mm though. -dan

It said FD/FL mount. Will this fit an EOS ? No. The mounts are completely different. FL and FD were the mounts used on their pre-autofocus SLR cameras such as the FTb, F-1, and T-90. For inexpensive macro shots with an EOS, get a set of independently-made extension tubes and/or a reverse mount adapter for your normal lens. A ring light would be a good light source for your photos of fishing flies.

: looking for info on fly shops in victoria, bc. would appreciate info : including name of shop and hopefully a phone #. would prefer a shop : within walking distance from the ferry terminal, even if it’s a long walk. Depends on which ferry terminal. The ones from the US side (believe they come from Port Angeles, Anacortes, perhaps both) dock fairly close to downtown. However, most ferry traffic arrives from the Canadian side, leaving the mainland at Tsawassen (near the border, and about an hour south of Vancouver). These ferries dock at Swartz Bay, which is a good 20 miles east of downtown Victoria. However, should you choose to walk ;-^), the first town (about 3 miles) is Sydney, and there are three or four "fishing" shops there. Most are saltwater-oriented (get yer bait herring here!) but all have a few flies and tying supplies. Trail, BC voice: (250) 368-9315 Canada V1R 2V7 data: (250) 368-9341

Well gee, Not sure about this one. I’ve seen trout act that way too, and maybe I’m just fooling myself, but it seems as though I’ve seen it more in hard fished streams. Don’t think it’s intelligence, but maybe natural selection? Fish adept at getting the fly the first time are caught first? I know that I’ve seen it most where the fish have lots of time, in long slicks and such. And (come to think of it) the flys were always fairly close to ME, the evil fish catching monster. Hmmmmmm. Something to ponder anyway. Steve

Steve, There is the San Mateo Sportsman’s show that used to be held in March and will be held in Jan or Feb. this coming year (96). This is a consumer show with all the big guns represented whereas the Fly Tackle Dealer Show is a dealer show not a consumer show. If you like fly fishing, and live in the Bay Area, don’t miss it. Dan Dan Gracia Schools Coordinator Orvis West Coast Fly Fishing Schools If you kill that big fish you can’t catch ‘em again. So what if they eat other fish? If you kill the big ones there will only be little ones left (funny how that works!).
I’ll be attending the The Fly Tackle Dealers’ Show in Denver next month. Anyone wishing information on new products (particularly rod blanks and components) exhibited at the show, feel free to post e-mail. I’ll be returning on approx. Sept. 25 and I’ll have a chance to respond at that time. You can also receive a free copy of our current catalogue with custom rods, blanks, componments, fly tying material and accessories by sending your name and snail mail address via e-mail.

WHAT IS THE FLYFISH LIST? What is the flyfish list? The flyfish list is a worldwide discussion group with flyfishing as the topic. It is called a list because it is simply a mailing list. The messages which comprise the discussion are sent as electronic mail (email) to everyone on the mailing list. If you subscribe to flyfish, your name and computer address will simply be added to the mailing list and you will automatically receive electronic mail messages about flyfishing. How do I subscribe? To subscribe to the flyfish list, send an email message to: The text of the message should be: subscribe flyfish John Smith (Substitute your name instead of John Smith) It is not necessary to specify a subject for this message. Be everyone on the list. The listserv address is used for administrative messages such as subscriptions and is handled automatically by a computer program which controls the list. How do I get removed from the list? Once subscribed to the list, you may at some point wish to remove yourself from the list. To do this, send an email message to: The text of the message should be: signoff flyfish (an equivalent command is: unsubscribe flyfish) It is not necessary to specify a subject for this message. Again, please remember to send this message to How do I post messages? To post a message (to everyone on the list), simply send the message to: Any message mailed to this address will automatically be sent by the listserv program to everyone currently on the mailing list. It helps to specify a brief, descriptive subject so that the people on the list can read (or delete) their mail efficiently. It also helps to end your message with your name and email address, so that readers may respond to you directly when desired. How do I reply to a message? To reply to a message, you must first decide whether you want to reply only to the person that posted the message or to everyone on the list. If you want to reply only to the one person, then do not use the "reply" function in your mail program. That will of course, result in it being sent to everyone on the list. Instead, send your reply to his or her email address. This can usually be obtained by examining the message to which you are responding. Look for a signature at the end of the message or Unfortunately, it is possible that your mail program will remove such non-essential lines from the message header. Signing your messages with your email address will assist others with this same problem. If you want your reply sent to everyone on the list, then send As with any message sent to this address, it will be distributed to everyone on the list. It is helpful to specify the same subject, preceeded by "Re:". Most mail programs have a reply function which simplifies the process of replying to a message. If you reply to a posted message using your reply function, your reply will be sent back distributed to everyone on the list. This is how most people reply to messages because there is no need to type in the list address or the subject. This may not work for everyone; in rare cases an overeducated mail program will ferret out the original sender from the header and reply to that person rather than the list, so you may have to do things the old fashioned way. Why don’t I receive the messages that I post? If you post a message to flyfish, it is sent to everyone on the list except you, the sender. If you want to receive your own with the following line of text: set flyfish repro Most people prefer to see their own messages sent back to them, if only as confirmation that the message actually was sent out without any difficulties. I get too much mail from the list. What can I do? You can get the mail from the list sent to you in digest form. You will then get one message per day (usually) which contains all of the messages of the day. Just send the message: set flyfish digests If this is still too much for you, you may wish to signoff the list. Save these instructions in case this happens to you. Are old messages archived? Yes, the old messages are archived. To get a list of archived files containing the text: index flyfish How do I get an archived file? containing the text: get flyfish filename (Substitute the name of the file you want to get for filename) Can I get a list of listserv commands? A short list of listserv commands will be sent to you if you send the message: help Where else on the internet can I get flyfishing information and files? Information on other electronic sources of flyfishing information is given in another FAQ file also posted periodically to the flyfish list. I’m confused. Where can I get help? If you have difficulties subscribing, resigning, or posting to the flyfish list, please direct your questions to the listowner and not to the list. There is no need to clutter the mailboxes of subscribers with such questions. The listowner will be happy to help you. This file is posted periodically to the flyfish list by questions about this file directly to me and not to the list. PS The listowner and the location of the list will change in the there is a definite problem with the list. If you need help, you A new flyfishing newsgroup should be starting soon. I have posted this message so that those of you that want to try the flyfish list will know how to send commands to listserv (not flyfish), because it is disruptive to the list to have administrative messages sent to everyone. However, if you are interested in flyfishing, and have usenet access, please help get the new group started. Everyone will benefit, especially those that would rather get their flyfishing fixes through a newsgroup instead of in their email boxes.
