GFF Summit 2008

Guys,

The mailbox has already seen the first inquieries about this year's summit, and yes, there will be one. But unfortunately I have been a little backtracked this spring, and haven't had time to think about places and dates, but my guess is that we are going for a setup, which is similar to the two previous years.

I will start planning something as soon as possible and announce some dates as soon as I have a confirmation on a place to stay.

This year will be diferent in one way: I will set a maximun number of participants. I'm not firmly set on anything yet, but we don't want this to grow too large. The rules will be that last year's participants will have priority and after they have had their chance we will fill up on a first come first served base.

I will return with more info.

What you're missing

What you're missing is the ability to re-create the best dubbing wax ever invented, instead of using the cheap, sticky, soft garbage other companies sell as dubbing "wax".

Great flies. I love Thundercreeks too, Bob. As for proportions, I somehow remember that the head should be 1/5 of the fly and that the hair should not extend beyond the hook shank by more than 1/3 of the shank length. Have you come across those proportions, too?

TVK,

A special line... Heh! Many anglers actually use plain floss - almost any floss will do, even dental floss as long as the breaking strength is good enough. You can also find special floss made for the purpose, often just called "dapping floss".

The method is mostly referred to as dapping or blowline fishing, and you should be able to find references to that on the web and if you combine that with the name of author Robert H. Boyle you will most likely find his book on the subject.

Years ago, I saw an

Years ago, I saw an outdoor fishing show that featured a flat English flyline. The fisherman would put his back to the wind hold his rod tip high, play out line that would float in the air do to the line's 'wing-like' cross section. The gent would then lower his rod to allow a dry fly to lightly touch the water. He'd then raise the rod tip and repeat the process....dipping and skidding the fly across the water's surface. I think the process was called "doodling". I cannot find this special fly line. It would be dandy to use on the upper Platte River on windy days here in Colorado. Anyone know if this string is still available?
