  1. It's all about the weather. Since we just got a good healthy dump of snow, it's hard to think about "warm water". :hyst:
  2. That thing just rocks. Good job. How much water does it soak up? ie, can you use it with a 6-weight line, or is it along the lines of trying to cast a small bluegill?
  3. Looks nice. You gonna whip some up for me?
  4. Also check out what everybody is using for pike. The one bit of advice I have is that if you keep getting following fish without hooking any, then speed up your retrieve.
  5. So do you fish these like a popper or skate it like they do for steelhead/salmon like the original bomber? I like the color contrast, it's cool.
  6. Hey, I got 2 you can borrow if you're in Virginia sometime. I don't have them tying flies, but they sure are "crafty" so it should be pretty easy to cross-train them. I used to tie brassies with copper wire, never thought of using other colors. Hmmm, gives me some idears.
  7. I've heard of "coarse fishing" before, but I think this is about as low as it gets. Sounds like a ton of fun, too.
  8. I know it's heresy, but I've always done a fantastic job with a simple flashback nymph, like a pheasant tail. I have a #4 clear sinktip that for some reason when I fish it and a nymph on a 3-4 foot leader, I can catch anything, from bluegills to big, fat rainbows. In deeper water, I make it a beadhead to get down a little bit lower, faster. But then again, I tube a lot. That helps. I also have a olive/brown and black variegated wooly bugger that I like to think looks like a baby smallmouth. That thing picks me up quite a few panfish when I can get out of the nymph habit.
  9. I still can't get over those nymphs. They haunt me at night when I'm trying to sleep.

  12. QUOTE (OLB @ Feb 8 2005, 03:30 PM) In my experience I've never seen a pike go airborn, seems like they always dive. Musky on the other hand will try some smallmouth like acrobbatics to get off your line I have had them follow a fly up over my head. I was wading and at the end of a retrieve when I picked the fly up off the water, a pike followed it off the water, seeing it speed up and thinking that the fly was going to get away. I've had this happen several times. No, I didn't catch the fish.
  13. It comes and goes, from pretty good to a crawl. In the past 20 minutes, I've seen it do both. When it's slow for me to pull up a page, the network connectivity is still hella fast... faster ping times than yahoo. ryzhe:~# ping www.flytyingforum.com PING flytyingforum.com (207.58.151.45): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 207.58.151.45: icmp_seq=0 ttl=54 time=18.0 ms 64 bytes from 207.58.151.45: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=11.2 ms 64 bytes from 207.58.151.45: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=11.6 ms 64 bytes from 207.58.151.45: icmp_seq=3 ttl=54 time=13.5 ms 64 bytes from 207.58.151.45: icmp_seq=4 ttl=54 time=12.7 ms 64 bytes from 207.58.151.45: icmp_seq=5 ttl=54 time=11.7 ms ryzhe:~# ping yahoo.com PING yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 66.94.234.13: icmp_seq=0 ttl=45 time=103.2 ms 64 bytes from 66.94.234.13: icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=100.8 ms 64 bytes from 66.94.234.13: icmp_seq=2 ttl=45 time=100.7 ms 64 bytes from 66.94.234.13: icmp_seq=3 ttl=45 time=101.1 ms 64 bytes from 66.94.234.13: icmp_seq=4 ttl=45 time=102.1 ms 64 bytes from 66.94.234.13: icmp_seq=5 ttl=45 time=104.5 ms 64 bytes from 66.94.234.13: icmp_seq=6 ttl=45 time=103.6 ms And the traceroute is this: ryzhe:~# traceroute www.flytyingforum.com traceroute to flytyingforum.com (207.58.151.45), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 2.590 ms 0.793 ms 0.714 ms 2 ip68-106-112-1.dc.dc.cox.net (68.106.112.1) 17.447 ms 18.038 ms 13.923 ms 3 ip68-100-1-89.dc.dc.cox.net (68.100.1.89) 15.998 ms 11.785 ms 11.142 ms 4 ip68-100-0-65.dc.dc.cox.net (68.100.0.65) 8.334 ms 9.390 ms 9.775 ms 5 mrfddsrj01gex070003.rd.dc.cox.net (68.100.0.141) 17.965 ms 9.814 ms 11.509 ms 6 mrfdbbrc02-pos0103.rd.dc.cox.net (68.1.1.10) 17.929 ms 10.421 ms 9.789 ms 7 ashbbbrj01-pos020100.r2.as.cox.net (68.1.1.232) 18.479 ms 9.736 ms 16.920 ms 8 68.105.30.102 (68.105.30.102) 10.576 ms 10.732 ms 12.407 ms 9 pos5-3.cr02.vna01.pccwbtn.net (63.216.0.42) 18.188 ms 10.721 ms 10.455 ms 10 63-218-97-138.btnaccess.net (63.218.97.138) 18.605 ms 10.462 ms 9.708 ms 11 sc-mcl1-smv98-1000M.servint.net (216.22.60.40) 18.732 ms 11.802 ms 12.444 ms 12 * * * So yeah, I would say that it's the server itself. Is that thing a palmpilot running apache? Just curious what's the load on the server. I doubt that FTF gets all that many hits. Google crawling it would bring it to its knees, though, because it's indexing every page, and it's all dynamic content. You guys might be able to reduce the load with google sitemap. http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/.../en/submit.html This might help out, too: http://www.searchengine-optimization-guru....c-websites.html There is a script execution time on the bottom of each page, and when I pull it up, it's either below 1 (seconds I'm presuming) or somewhere around 24 when it's slow. And yeah, I'm a total dweeb. HTH --rybolov
  14. OK, so here's a dumb question: When do you use the rotary on a rotary vice? I've had a Renzetti Traveler for the past 5 years, and I think it's pretty good, but I still haven't figured out the rotary. The part that I can't get is how do you keep the tying thread from going haywire when you rotate the fly. I've since lost the bobbin cradle, do you need that to make the rotary action work? Thanks --Mike

    Beach Flyfishing

    QUOTE (Monty @ Jul 15 2005, 11:19 PM) I`m going to try beach flyfishing for pinks in the next few weeks.. Any suggestions to what type of line ? Look around and see what people are using for Striped Bass, Bluefish, and Albacore. I haven't seen much on techniques for the "left coast" but the east coast, wade fishing on the beaches is a well-established tradition. This is the only article I've ever read about surf flyfishing on the West Coast: http://flyfisherman.com/northwest/khsandybeach/ HTH
