The Tampa Bay Fly Fishing Club Invited Speaker Allen Wyatt The Tampa Bay Fly Fishing Club www.tbffc.org Next Meeting: Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 6:00 p.m. Location: Compton Park Recreation Center, Tampa Palms (See below for Directions) Invited Speaker Allen Wyatt Allen Wyatt from Andy Thornal Company, Winterhaven, will present our March program. His power point presentation will discuss and demystify the subject of how to select the proper fly line. Casting problems most frequently start with tackle that is not properly balanced for the task; the fly line is the biggest offender. Bruce Richards, who has designed fly lines for Scientific Anglers for 20 years, in his book "Modern Fly Lines," states that SA company alone makes over 1500 different lines. After Allen's presentation you will be better prepared to select the proper line for your fly fishing needs, allowing you to get the most out of your rod and to cast with ease. Featured Fly Tyer Logan Valeri Logan Valeri, a resident of Brandon, has been fly tying for almost a year now. He learned all of his techniques on his own and he specializes in trout flies out west. He enjoys fly fishing in Arkansas with his dad, Rick Valeri, and world renowned guide, Chuck Farneth. Although busy with schoolwork at Jesuit High School, Logan spends every other moment he has tying flies. He will be tying some great hopper patterns for trout as well as panfish and bass this month. You have probably seen him watching others tie during the meetings. He has a sponge for a brain and learns all the techniques the members have to offer. We hope you can learn a thing or two from him this month as he ties Dave's Hopper and Henry's Fork Hopper It’s Time to Pay Dues Again--$25 for single, $35 for family, extra savings for 5-year membership (see page 6 or 9 for application) S ; Directions to Our Meetings: From I-75---Take Bruce B.

DINNER AND A SHOW FOR TBFFC Some great new fly fishing movies will be shown at the Tampa Pitcher Show theatre on March 8th at 630pm. Tickets are available from the Salt Water Fisherman fly shop on Hillsborough Ave at Memorial Blvd for $12 before the event. Tickets at the door, if available will be $15. I looked into a place to meet for dinner before the movie and I'd recommend the Tilted Kilt Pub at 14457 N. Dale Mabry. The Tilted Kilt is like a Scottish Hooters! The restaurant is 1/8th mile south of Ehrlich Rd. on the east side of the street. It is also directly across the street from the Pitcher Show so it will be easy to make the movie on time if we meet at 5pm or so. The Pitcher Show theatre sells sandwiches, wings, snacks, beer, etc. if people just want to eat there. ROBERT FISCHER 2/20/10 4 TIPS FOR TBFFC – No. 21 Casting Tip for TBFFC: 4 An efficient loop can only be formed then the fly rod tip travels in a Straight Line Path, our next essential. The fly line always follows the direction the rod tip is traveling when the rod stops. Besides a straight line path, the rod tip can travel in a convex direction, one higher in the middle, causing a large loop, or in a concave direction, where the tip is lower in the middle, forming a tailing loop when the line crosses itself. If you want to make a curve cast, directing the rod tip to the right or left at the stop will cause the end of the fly line to curve in the same direction, very useful for casting around obstructions. Tracking the rod tip in a straight line will direct the energy of the cast properly allowing the line to unroll efficiently. When practicing outside, use the house roof line as a guide for vertical rod tip positions or the straight edge of a lawn or driveway as a guide when casting more horizontally. As you carry more line, the rod loads or bends more but still tracks in a straight line path.

  • 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.

  • AFFTA Policy Statement on Federal Fisheries Policy and Management
    AFFTA Policy Statement on Federal Fisheries Policy and Management The American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA) is the nation’s largest fly fishing trade association and is dedicated to the sustained growth of the fly fishing industry. AFFTA’s more than 900 members, including fly fishing retail stores, manufacturers, outfitters, guides, and lodges, are a part of the nearly $900 million contributed annually to the U.S. economy by the fly fishing industry. Ours is a growing market. Between 2015 and 2016, net sales revenue of fly fishing products increased by 8.5%. In 2016, more than 4.5 million Americans went fly fishing at least once, and the number of anglers who fly fish is estimated at ten million.1 AFFTA recognizes that abundant fish populations supported by healthy marine, coastal, and freshwater habitats are the foundation for a thriving recreational fly fishing industry. AFFTA pursues and supports policies that conserve and protect fisheries, fish habitat, and wild spaces. This ensures high-quality and plentiful recreational opportunities that create economic activity for our members and safeguards the industry’s future. Saltwater fly fishing is the fastest growing segment of our industry. To encourage continued growth and investment in saltwater fly fishing by our members, AFFTA supports state and federal ocean fisheries management that conserves and restores intact and thriving coastal and marine ecosystems, achieves responsible access to our marine fisheries, and is based upon the best available science. Overview and Status of Federal Fisheries Policy and Management U.S. ocean fisheries are managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA).

  • A Comparison of Distance Fly Casting Performance Between Three 5- Weight Long-Belly Floating Lines
    Send Orders of Reprints at [email protected] 118 The Open Sports Science Journal, 2012, 5, 118-122 Open Access A Comparison of Distance Fly Casting Performance Between Three 5- Weight Long-belly Floating Lines Ulrik Röijezon1,* and Stefan Siikavaara2 1Department of Health Sciences, Luleå University of Technology, 97187 Luleå, Sweden 2Dala Sports Academy, University of Dalarna, 791 88 Falun, Sweden Abstract: Long-belly fly lines have gained extensive popularity around the world, both for fishing and for competitive distance casting. In Sweden, three long-belly fly lines are used as official lines in Fly Casting competitions: The Mastery Expert Distance (Scientific Anglers, USA), the Rio Gold Tournament (Rio, USA) and the Barrio GT140 (Barrio Fly Lines, Scotland). The objective of this study was to compare distance casting performance between the three long-belly fly lines using a standardized test protocol. Sixteen elite casters, eight competitors in Fly Casting and eight competitors in Casting, each performed eight casts with all three lines. All lines were cast in a randomized manner with the same type of rod (MSX Sapphire 790-4) fitted with the same type of reel and identical leaders. The test was performed as an indoor competition using the overhead cast technique. The statistical analyses revealed no significant differences between the lines. This result was consistent both for the whole group (p>0.05) and when the results from the subgroups of competitors in Fly Casting and Casting were analyzed separately (p>0.05). The conclusion of the study is that at group level there are no significant differences in distance casting performance between the three lines when casting is performed indoors.
