Worth a try. Hi Dave: Personally, I'd tie it on the shank with Kevlar thread and use lots of head cement. I might give this a try myself when I get the opportunity! I have a few more urgent projects at the moment. If I can use the molded bottles and cut the strips off the right part of the bottle, I might even be able to work it so the angle of the strip matches the angle between the shank and the hook. My other project includes tying some flies for Atlantic Salmon. I will be fishing "Crown Reserve" water in June, and I hope it works out better than last year when we had near drought conditions in September. FYI, "Crown Reserve" is awarded exclusively to resident anglers in an annual draw. Fortunately, my party had their ballot drawn again this year. We have been drawn for a stretch of water on the North Sevogle River (a tributary of the famed Miramachi), called The Narrows. The North Sevogle is off the Northwest branch of the Miramachi (which BTW is a huge river system with numerous tributaries). I've never fished this stretch of water so it should be interesting even if we don't catch any fish. You know the old saying, "You put up your quarter, and you take your chances". I've talked to another friend who has fished the stretch and been informed that you have to be part billy goat to fish it. If the fish are taking, it will be worth whatever I have to do to get to them. Four of us have exclusive rights to about eight miles of prime Atlantic Salmon water with many nice pools for forty-eight hours. No one to talk my ear off, I've chosen my friends carefully! ;-) Our rights begin at 2PM the first day and end at 2PM on the third. If the black flies don't carry us away, I'll report back later... ;-) TTYL Gary (T1'nNB) coopergd@hotmail.com garyc1@gov.nb.ca ...

Hello again: You can still fish the fast current. Just go with the flow and bring along an anchor of some kind to drop when you see a likely spot. You can't paddle and fish anyway. I've often thought that a kayak would be ideal for this. I fish for salmon from a canoe and hang a lead weight off the stern via a pulley sytem. I've seen others use steel chain, hung in a bunch. You can't do this from a canoe in water that runs too fast as stern of the canoe digs into the current and water will swamp the canoe, but you wouldn't have that problem with a kayak. I like to canoe a section of the Main Southwest Miramachi that runs about sixty miles through wilderness from a town called Juniper, to another town called Hayesville (almost dead centre in the middle of New Brunswick). My friends and I like to take about five days vacation to do it, and nobody's in a rush to get back. Such a trip would be tough to do in a kayak as you might have trouble carrying enough gear. But if you had someone along with a large canoe for support, it would be an incredible trip. There is some class four water that would be great to do in a kayak. Unfortunately, that is a spring trip. Before, the good salmon fishing begins. FYI, we have two salmon types of salmon fishing. Spring or "black" salmon, and "bright" fresh from the sea salmon. The later put up a much more spirited battle, but are more of a challenge to catch. You thought Morris was finicky! "Black" salmon are fish that have remained all winter in the river, under the ice. They are scrawny, but hungry, and don't have much fight left in them. OTOH, if all you want is a picture of yourself holding a big fish. New Brunswick is the place to be right about, well, now! ;-) If you have an Email address, I'll forward a sample picture... Let me know how you make out with the weedless hook idea!

Hi Again: I'll share my secret recipe for deep fried fish fillets. You will need two plates and a bowl. In the first plate, put flour and sprinkle it generously with garlic salt. Place the bowl next in line and mix an egg with a little milk. Third, use the other plate to hold some finely crushed soda crackers. Wash your fillet, and dry it slightly with a paper towel. Roll the fillet in the flour and garlic salt mixture. Next, dip it in the milk and egg and then roll it in the crushed cracker crumbs. Deep fry till golden brown, and enjoy! If anyone tries this and enjoys it, I expect a post card! :-) The address is 15 Autumnwood Ave., Quispamsis, NB Canada E2E1V6 TTYL Gary (T1'nNB) coopergd@hotmail.com garyc1@gov.nb.ca ...

DH> I'd search the internet. There are a lot of fish biologists out DH> there. Hi: I'm pretty certain that fish see colour. Otherwise, I've blown a whole lot of money! I tie flies that have very sublte color variations, that can have quite drastic impact on whether I catch fish or not. I don't have any research literature to support this belief, but I have thirty years of practical experience. OTOH, I do have some research literature that tells me that deer most definitely have colour vision. Although it is not comparable to human colour vision. Deer's colour vision is shifted toward the ultra-violet end of the spectrum and are unable to distinguish colour at the red end of the spectrum as humans do. Unfortunately for hunter's, deer can sense ultra-violet radiation. Again, practical experience tells me that deer are more sensitive to motion than _anything_ else. I pay more attention to a deer's olfactory sense than I do to their vision or their hearing. I can fool either of the later senses, but a deer has an INCREDIBLE sense of smell! Again, I have personal experience to back this up... If you have an Email address I can forward some scanned information regarding a deer's visual ability. If not, you might be able to find some of the work of Jay Neitz (Vision Scientist) at the University of California (Santa Barbara). Dr. Neitz is cited in a pamplet "How Game Animals See The Ultraviolet Spectrum" that is sold with U-V-Killer. A commercially made camo product designed to reduce UV emissions from hunter's clothing. I don't bother with the U-V-Killer as I just use natural camo. Trees, branches, blinds, etc. but the pamplet makes interesting reading. FYI, there is also research regarding a fish's sense of smell. Researchers have observed salmon to stop their migration when another researcher has dipped their hands in the water upstream of the fish. There was an article in the Atlantic Salmon Journal devoted to research on the subject. Fascinating! Fish have a highly developed sense of smell. The lateral line on a fish is their sensory organ and is quite possibly, as highly developed as that of a dog or deer. One commercially developed product, based upon that research is available under the brand name, Dr. Juice. You will have to do some practical research and try it for yourself... Tight Lines!
