Making Artificial Lures
WILDLIFE SW 439 August 2001 PROJECT Making Artificial Lures INTRODUCTION If you like to fish, chances are that you use worms, minnows, grasshoppers, frogs and other natural bait. Almost any tackle store you visit will have both natural or “live bait” and artificial lures which are made to imitate the real thing. Artificial lures were used by many early civilizations and have been around literally thousands of years. Early lures were made of a variety of materials. For example, American Indians and Eskimos made lures out of the bones of certain birds and animals which resembled minnows. Books were written as early as the 15th Century describing the art of fly fishing and fly tying. Even then, feathers, hair and thread helped early anglers to fool trout, salmon and bass. Today, there are many types of artificial lures from which to choose — such as plastic worms, balsa wood minnows, metal spinners, spoons, lead jigs, swimming plugs, surface plugs and even battery-pow- ered frogs. Such lures are used with spinning spin/ casting and casting equipment (rod and reel) by fish- ermen in both fresh and salt water. Some lures are inexpensive, but others may cost more than your weekly allowance. Fly fishermen also have a very large number of insect, frog and minnow imitations from which to select, many of which are made from animal hairs, feathers, yarn, cork and thread. Flies must be very lightweight, because it is the fly line (unlike spin and plug fishing) which carries the lure through the air. There are, in fact, several thousand recognized trout and salmon patterns, and hundreds of bass patterns.

6 W Elding Accessories Tungsten Electrodes Magnesium Aluminum
Sylvania Tungsten Vendor Code: SYL Tungsten Electrodes Magnesium Magnesium alloys are in 3 groups. They are: (1) aluminum-zinc-magnesium, (2) aluminum-magnesium and (3) manganese-magnesium. Since magnesium will absorb a number of harmful ingredients and oxidize rapidly when subjected to welding heat, TIG welding in an inert gas atmosphere is distinctly advantageous. The welding of magnesium is similar, in many respects, to the welding of aluminum. Magnesium was one of the first metals to be welded commercially by the inert-gas nonconsumable process (TIG). Accessories Welding Aluminum The use of TIG welding for aluminum has many advantages for both manual and automatic processes. Filler metal can be either wire or rod and should be compatible with the base alloy. Filler metal must be Ground Dia. Length Electrodes dry, free of oxides, grease or other foreign matter. If filler metal becomes damp, heat for 2 hours at Part No. (inches) (inches) 250˚ F before using. Although AC high-frequency stabilized current is recommended, DC reverse polarity 0407G .040 7 has been successfully used for thicknesses up to 3/32". 1167G 1/16 7 Stainless Steel Pure 3327G 3/32 7 In TIG welding of stainless steel, welding rods having the AWS-ASTM prefixes of E or ER can be used as 187G 1/8 7 filler rods. However, only bare uncoated rods should be used. Stainless steel can be welded using AC high frequency stabilized current, however, for DC straight polarity current recommendations must be increased 5327G 5/32 7 6 25%. Light gauge metal less than 1/16" thick should always be welded with DC straight polarity using 0407GL .040 7 argon gas.

The Eight Classic Nymphs and How to Fish Them
Orvis Early Season Weighted Nymph Selection The Eight Classic Nymphs and How to Fish Them Manchester, Vermont 05254 Makers of Fine Fishing Tackle Since 1856 This article was recreated by Bob Hazlett from a very old black and white pamphlet by Orvis found at the bottom of a box of fly-tying material. The text is original; the photos are modern color renditions of those in the original. Page 1 of 7 The Eight Classic Nymphs and How to Fish Them All trout waters, including streams, lakes and ponds contain thousands of different insects upon which trout feed. The immature forms of these insects are called nymphs. Dwelling on the bottom, they can be found year-round and are a major factor in the trout's diet. The flies in this selection were designed to imitate the nymphal forms of the insect orders most important to the trout fisherman. These include the mayflies, the stoneflies and the caddisflies. Weighted nymphs can provide an effective approach when conditions are uncertain or if trout are not feeding on the surface. At streamside, we are always alert for some clue to fly selection. But as so often happens throughout the season, we arrive on the stream and there are no flies hatching. In need of a starting point, many experienced hands begin to systematically probe the waters with weighted nymphs. Which nymph to try first? One that is suggestive in size and color of the naturals in the particular water one is fishing. Naturals can be dislodged from stream bed rocks or submerged logs and examined closely.

David Weaver Who Sent a Treasure Trove of Information Mainly Pertinent to Sterkfontein - Which Will Be Fed Into the Bobbin Monthly
AUGUST 2018 CHAIRMAN’S CHIRP Since last month I have really busy with the Southern African Flyfishing magazine. But it seems I had time to get drafted into the KZN regional FOSAF committee to supportDr. Bill Bainbridge in a review of FOSAF policies. I will of course be better placed to provide feedback to members about the activities of FOSAF. As you may know its crunch time for the Alien Invasive Species gazette call for comments. Time will tell… On the club front I’m concerned about the viability of the Bobbin. Under Ian’s hand he produced almost all the content, perhaps we have all become lazy because of this? Stelios has been trying to get content in from members because this is YOUR newsletter. The Bobbin cannot be a one sided affair. Stelios has had limited success in getting cooperation for his last two editions. Do members want this newsletter? Should we discontinue the Bobbin? Members need to decide….. FROM THE EDITOR After much whingeing, whining, cajoling and coaxing, I managed to get sufficient content to produce this issue of the Bobbin. I am sure that members must now be rather weary of me at this stage! When I was asked to edit the Bobbin, I felt that it should be a club newsletter with content produced by members – and this is what I have endeavoured to achieve. For a change, this edition has only one article NOT produced by a member. For that I want to thank David Weaver who sent a treasure trove of information mainly pertinent to Sterkfontein - which will be fed into the Bobbin monthly.

The Nice Thing About Fly Fishing in General and North Shore Fly Fishing in Particular Is That It Can Be As Simple Or As Complicated As You Like
The nice thing about fly fishing in general and north shore fly fishing in particular is that it can be as simple or as complicated as you like. Going from your hands to the hook, here is a basic set up that will serve you well on Minnesota’s North Shore or any other Midwestern steelhead fishing destination. Don’t worry if some of the language doesn’t make sense. If you bring this list to any decent fly fishing shop they will be able to set you up. Rods: Ideally a strong 8 weight fly rod preferably with a fighting butt, however if you already have a fly rod in a 6, 7 or 9 wt, don’t despair. It will work just fine until, or if you decide to expand your rod collection. Reels: A fly fishing reel matched to the rod and handedness of the fisherman/woman. This reel should also have a good strong drag (for big strong fish) and big knobs that can be used with gloves on. Line(s): Some Fisherpersons use straight monofilament fishing line on their reels, while others use floating fly line with a monofilament or even fluorocarbon leader. Both set ups have their place and either will work on the North Shore. If you are purchasing items specifically for one of our seminars, the mono is more economical, while the fly line will give you more options. To accommodate both setups we list out both from the fly reel spool to the end of the tippet Mono: 100 yards or more of 20 – 30 pound fly line backing 100 – 200 yards of 12 to 18 pound monofilament (high abrasion resistance) Micro swivel (20-50 pound test) 18 – 36 inches of 8 to 10 pound fluorocarbon

They were then necessary, as a bush is to a new tavern not as yet renowned for its good wine. The words * Third Edition' in the present title-page are more significant than any preface. They prove that I am still called for in the fishing market. I obey the call, am thankful for the favour I have found, and shall say very little more. Five years have elapsed since I read this angling treatise through and through. Recently I have done so twice in preparing this third edition. The book appeared to me as if it had been written by another like a long-absent child whose features I had almost forgotten. I could judge of it then with less partiality than when it was fresh from my brain, and bore the defect-covering K3FM VI PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION.
