Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Digest for tidal-potomac-fly-rodders@googlegroups.com - 4 Messages in 3 Topics

Thanks Ivan. I was really hoping to find a guide and not have to haul my equipment, but if that is what I have to do, then I'll do it!

    Victor,
     
    I can't help too much, other than saying that many very good tiers don't
    tie mated wing salmon flies because they are too much work. Feather
    selection seems to be the first issue. You need to select a set of
    matching feathers. Usually people use full skins and select one feather
    from the left side and one from the right side. Sorry if this is obvious.
     
    I know that for some flies, the wings are treated with highly thinned
    head cement. It is not uncommon for people to take days (6 to 24 hours
    to tye a salmon fly).
     
    I would try the flytiers forum and search the posts. You could take
    pictures of your flies and post questions on how to get a better match.
    Also, try to get to a show or conclave where there are a lot of tyers.
    You might want to go to an NCC-TU meeting and ask someone there. There
    are some very good tiers there. I agree that seeing someone tye this
    would be a big help.

    You may find the help, materials, and experience you need at the International
    Fly Tying Symposium<http://www.internationalflytyingsymposium.com/index.html>
    in
    Somerset, NJ this November. Perhaps some TPFRers may wish to car pool and
    split accommodations? Great tiers, great classes, and great fellowship -
    only approx. 3.5 hours away!

    brad, your best bet would be to go north to the small village of taganga,
    this is a fishing village and is located in a deep bay, most people there
    are fishermen, there are no guides the best thing to do is to get there ang
    see if you can get one of the local fishermen to take you around the bay,
    if you are going to fly fish take a #9 or # 10 fly rod with sinking line,
    baitfish patterns, there are red snappers and snook in the area north of
    the bay there are rocks , that would be your best place to start, if you
    are taking conventional tackle you can jig usin white 2 onz gigs towards
    the rocks ,or you can troll rapalas , make sure you take wire leaders and
    all your tackle ,there are NO fishing shops,to get a better idea of the
    place I am talking about, look it up on google earth, best regards
