Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
Gentlemen...
There is Freshly Opened Water here
... too much to list, much of it remote.
If anyone wants to go, PM me before the Black Flies.
Where the hell is GBS...?!!!
Is he pimping on the streets of Brooklyn,
or did he go home w/the Pope...?
:pimp::pope:
It's also time for a few more...
The green-blooded skinks of the genus Prasinohaema possess highly toxic levels of biliverdin. (That's a bile pigment).
The blood of every Green Skink is saturated w/the stuff.
And any creature who crawls, or flies, or swims, near the surface of our earth... w/that much biliverdin...technically...
Ralph,
If I'm not mistaken, it's La Puta Roja.
And FWIW, in Roman mythology Puta is the goddess of pruning vines and bushes.
:rolleyes:
The Skunk only gave me One of those flies.
I lost it w/in three weeks.
But not before using it religiously in late Winter '06.

Pete...
How come you censored your own post from yesterday?
I don't understand.
Is it because we are stranger than we appear to ourselves...? :foto:
C'mon.
Tell us some of the weird stuff you do w/flies........

Re: Fly Swap '08
I like to use bilichrome (bile pigments) to color various types of tying materials.
Available in unspeakable shades of red, orange, yellow, brown, blue or green.
They're pricey, but I find them to be superior to all forms of synthetic or biological pigments.
To acquire the...
Ralph,
The Timing of your annual conflagration is causing me a confliction.
What would you do in my position...?
a) Fish eleven (or more) straight days of Hendrixons w/Jimi and wild Daisy; to twenty-inch trout... nobody for miles.
b) Hedge a 30% bet that Lou Reed will show up w/Laurie...
Time-wise I'm not sure if I can do it.
I have a lobotomy scheduled for early next week. It's just the regular/annual frontal lobal re-tread, but you never know how these things might work out. Therefore, I am hesitant to make any promises.
Ask me again in about seven days.
Beep! Beep!
Clearly Inferior.
Not enough mucous.
C'mon Ralph.
You have higher quality photos of hermaphrodites in orgiastic pleasure,
somewhere inside the dark archives; don't you...?

Ponds that are in an East/West orientation tend to break up earlier, especially if the western edge is Not protected by large hills or mountains. A North/South orientation tends to delay ice-out.
Shallow ponds tend to break up earlier. IME, they also fish better than very deep ponds at early...
[RickW]: Vidi Aquam
I saw water flowing from the right side of the temple, alleluia.
[Serotonin]: Vidi Aiuam (?)....
I saw blood flowing from the left side of the temple, alleluia.
You Sons of Bitches.
Been doing well w/a dirty White Wulff (size12); a bit creamier on the body than the standard all-white.
I'll also tie a buggy blonde nymph as a dropper off the bend, which has gotten me into some big fish; especially at the end of the drift. At the end of a sparse hatch (sometimes they are!)...
