vince Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Boys and Girls A Happy New year to one and all. I'm starting to get get real excited about our up-coming seminar featuring Skip and Rick. The two day seminar is going to be a blast and I know for sure that I will learn lots about nymphing from Rick. This MAY Be the year that i go deep so the seminar will be of special interest to me. If you have not purchaesd your ticket to the show...don't wait...do it now. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Yesirree! This will be a great seminar! If you're a member who aint' got your ticket yet, make sure to get out to the meeting tonight before the discount expires. Vince Go Deep? This I gotta see! Maybe we should start a "Vince Nymphing Pool". We can do it on the "buy a square" method with each square having a number for the minutes he actually nymph fishes. Proceeds from the pool to help Brian D pay for the next rod he breaks. Edited January 2, 2008 by dave robinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Dave You are one creative dude...money would go to a good cause as we all know Brian D. will for sure break one of his rods or worse yet...break one of mine. Yikes. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry H Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I thought I had a picture of Vince nymphing this spring, and I was going to post it to blow his cover. However, when I checked it out, I found that when he is nymphing, he becomes invisible to my camera -- strange but true. I'll try again this spring/summer, if we can get him to give it another go. Terry Confucius say: He who fishes with nymph catch most fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Terry & Dave Man this just keeps getting better and better. Confucius, as far as I know, did not fly fish but in looking this up I came across an old Sicilian proverb that goes.... "A fish caught on the dry is worth two on the nymph" Terry, get your camera ready buddy...I need someone to record my nymphing moments.

Terry H Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 .............an old Sicilian proverb that goes.... "A fish caught on the dry is worth two on the nymph"I thought that old Sicilian saying went more lika dis : "A fisha dats caught onada dry, isa wortha two onada nymph." Any, I'll stick with Confucious. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Terry You are close but no cigar...well, maybe a cheap one. The word after "fisha" is spelled "datsa" not "dats"....and the jokes continue. You know Dave I am going to get you for starting this. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisS Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Seems to me Vince said he was going to fish deep last yr. I think I saw that for about all of 5min so fishing to Vince this year means 10min. That will double his nymphing for this year. Vince talking about cigar I've brought a couple back from Cuba for you & Brian B. Hope to see you tomorrow usual place still have a couple of days holidays left. Tight Lines Aways Dennis S.

vince Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Dennis I'm in Vancouver right now visiting my Mom. Will see you at the usual place on Monday morning, if you can. Cuban cigar would be great. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dave The fun starts tonight and I for one can't wait....going to be a great show this weekend. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolly Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Wonderful stuff! Thanks to all who helped and those who attended. Dave M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave robinson Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) I second that motion. Once again NLFT&F and TU Edmonton proved that they can mount a great show. Skip and Rick were great presenters giving lots of practical information. Not a dull moment and many, many laughs and smiles. Organizing and putting on an event like this takes a lot of volunteer effort. At the risk of missing someone, I will only mention a few who did yeoman service. Dennis for "travel" and venue arrangements Brian B for general organizing and solicitation of raffle items Rick for planning, travel and treasury work Brian D for book sales and door duty Mike and Emmerson for raffle duty. Scratch and Commercial Solutions for an amazing printed program Bill G and Scratch for "enlightening" A/V work Jerrry P for late night framing Dave M for being a fine MC and keeping everything on time All our corporate contributors who contributed raffle items and advertised in the program I'm sure I missed several names, so thanks to those unsung heroes who pitched in wherever needed. Special thanks to all those who bought tickets, showed up and purchased books and raffle tickets. Your attentiveness, courtesy and warm welcome to our presenters did not go unnoticed And a big thanks to Rick Hafele and Skip Morris for two fine days We hope to see you here again, soon, perhaps in fishing season!

Scratch Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 While I appreciate the mention - Bill Gouge was the real A/V saviour this weekend. I was about 3 remote-controls shy of a sports bar the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbon Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I would also like to thank Vince who covered for me when I had to step out . Thanks Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Guys What can I say....another great show. Lots of great info that I know will come in handy as this is the year that I'm going to go deep. I also would like to thank all of the fine club members who made this years seminar a huge success. The attention to detail was awesome, the contributions made by the suppliers was indeed awesome and as far as I can see all of the elements came together in a first class fashion. I spoke to Skip and Rick a number of times throughout the weekend and they both said that NLFT is a top shelve club. My thanks go to all of the guys that made this a great seminar...you know who you are....and to those who were not mentioned that once again stepped up to the plate and helped when asked with no questions asked. First class job guys....I'm now looking forward to next years. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Troller Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks to all who had a part in putting this on, This years show was entertaining and I had a great time. Great job by all!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisS Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Again this yr show was Great. It was a first class show put on by Rick and Skip We have added a couple of more friends to our list. As Vince said a lot of was learnt this weekend even learning that certian Caddis's churp. I can't wait until the first time I fall in to hear the churping caddis. I also can not wait to see Vince go deep this year (Again) Thank to all who donated to the show and a big thanks to all that showed up. With out you we don't have a show A Big Thanks Tight Lines always Dennis S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerBob Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I also can not wait to see Vince go deep this year (Again)I think we can turn him over to the dark side yet.. and make him a 'Nymphomaniac' yet... if we don't "Hog-it-titis" the honey hole all to ourselves. PMS - Aye, great show. Got the creative juices flowing looking at all that 'Bug P0rn'. I've already developed a half dozen new patterns that I can't wait to test this spring as a result.

tuber Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Great entertainment indeed - not to mention educational. Definitely inspired to try tying up some dragonfly patterns, and to also try tying up some smaller flies. Other than some swap flies, I think that the bulk of my tying has been #10 and larger - I think its a case of Swan-hog-mosis. And yes - looking forward to hearing who's lined up for next year!

Terry H Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It was another great show -- well worth the long drive. Thanks to everyone that helped make it happen. Dave and I can't wait till next year. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
