Flavouring my dry flies

Thanks for these great comments, boys !

There was a time where on Roff you could get some serious discussions
going.
And where at least I had the idea that people were treated with respect.
Well those days seems to be gone. Pitty.

And as far as you are concerned Jeff Miller : go **** yourself, please.

For all the advancements in digital technology in the last couple of
decades, no one has yet perfected a method of separating God's own gold from
the chaff in usenet. For those of us who have been here for a while, this
does not come entirely as a surprise. Yet more perplexing is the
indisputable fact that a lot of the gold looks suspiciously like the chaff
at a glance.....even, sometimes, upon close scrutiny. And then there's the
inside jokes and all that ****.

Do yourself a really big favor. Hold up and admire what nuggets you find
and, more importantly, remember that the surface of even the supposedly
incorruptible can be misleading. The responses you've gotten here thus far
are from a truly sterling group of individuals.

Stick around......grow a hide.

Um......well, that Miller guy.........

who loves ya, jeffie?

Thanks Wolfgang for your effort. Maybe you are right.
I will stick around and hope to grow hide, yes.

After the first few nonsens comments I did not react at all.
Then I tried to post another more explaining additional post.
And I must confess : not too much bull **** upon that post.
Untill someone says that I should shoot myself. Well sorry, but if you
call that inside jokes........
I hope that this post will not lead to even more nonsens, but I'm not at
all sure about it.
(And sorry guys my spellchecker is broken and my english will not get
any better)

It's called sarcasm - something we here in the U.S. use a LOT, and
something that translates very poorly.

That was just some more of that sarcasm stuff that didn't translate
well, as well an an inside joke. Your english is fine.

.. . . and using syrup or other flavorings on flies defeats part of the
sport, in my opinion. A large part of our sport in based on fooling the
fish into believing they see a bug of some sort on or in the water.
Adding flavorings or attractants takes much of that sport away.

Sorry, all. I forgot to mention that today is redundancy day today is

Hi Roffians,
a short message from Holland.
I am trying to catch big carp on the dry fly.
It is pretty tough; most of the real big ones are being caught so often,
that they really seem to know the trick.
I am now practising new tactics on smaller ones first.
Results are promising, BUT
I FLAVOUR MY FLIES IN SIROP !!!!!
SO : let me know what you think of that .....
The carp feel the soft material of the fly, smells and tast the sirop
and seems to forget the rest.

Interesting, but highly unethical. :-) Why not just use a piece of bread
on a hook?

Nice photos.

Still can. But not about syrup on flies.

Must have been years ago. Before I started reading the group.
Trolls have not often been treated with respect here in my tenure.

Well those days seems to be gone. Pitty.

Does this mean you don't love us any more? What about those promises
you made? What about the children? Will you send us palimony?

And as far as you are concerned Jeff Miller : go **** yourself, please.

you use sirop? thanks, and, uh, perhaps you can work on that sterling
sense of humor a bit while i'm ****ing myself, eh?

Well I reckon its a very novel approach to carp fishing. I wouldn't feel
right about using that method for trout though.

Hi rw,
to me thats another step further away from feathers and fur.
The step after that would be using another rod...
But thanks for your reaction!

Thanks flycatcher;
I don't feel that the fish makes the difference.
It's about the tactic.
