a few drops of the goop. Great stuff.


Isn't that water based? I used a Loon product about 3 or 4 years ago
as a hardener on my crawfish. It turned milky after about an hour of
fishing it. Does the Hard Head do the same?

Why not just use 5-minute epoxy? Tie up a half dozen or so and then do
them all at once. Mix the hardener and resin on a piece of aluminum foil
with a toothpick. What could be easier? And I'll bet it's cheaper than
some Loon product.

Thats what I use now. Was just wondering about the efficacy of the
product.

I probably tie 80% of my bread-and-butter nymphs as flashbacks. Mostly
PTs, GRHEs, and lately (because of ROFF), different versions of Skip's
Nymph. Great fly.

I agree. Just a little bit of 'poxy and the flies double their catch
rate.

So far, almost 80 people have viewed my two videos on YouTube (79 for
the heron and 77 for the salmon). I suspect all but a small handful came
to them from ROFF. YouTube is deluged with videos. Most of them get very
little attention, including ones far better than mine.

We can safely assume that there are about 80 ROFF readers with
high-bandwidth Internet connections.

I'm proposing an experiment to get better data. Click on one or the
other of the YouTube videos and post a comment, identifying yourself as
being from ROFF. You don't even have to watch them. I don't care. Just
say "ROFF" or whatever else you want in the comments. You can even
insult me if it makes you feel good. :-)

Thanks for the videos. I didn't leave a comment on either one.
Watched the salmon last night, the heron today. I don't recall ever
leaving a comment on a Web site (other than the WFFB), nor do I
subscribe to many.

I am, by the by, low bandwidth, so I often wait for others to respond
in a group to give me a clue as to whether or not it's worth the time.
These were.

Often taunted by trout. Almost entirely harmless. Really.

Don't ask me what time it is lest I'm of
a mood to tell you how to make a clock.

For 3 or 4 years I practically lived on ROFF. It's a shame what's
become of it.It's become a stagnant backwater of on line FF discourse.
In my experience that seems to be true of newsgroups in general.I have
a look at roff several times a week but there is seldom a thread on
which I want to post a response.

Lemmee guess - you watch Citizen Kane 3 or 4 times a week, just hoping
he'll say "Gardenia" or "Azalea" or "African Violet" or SOMETHING
besides "Rosebud"...and lemmee further guess it's troublemaking punks
like me that make your several-times-a-week looksee make you realize
what a stagnant backwater this ******** really is...

Regular UK reader - delight in all the stream fishing - I only have
still water, but good trout on buzzers, nyphs and dries

well, I read ROFF every day but never post. I glean whatever info I can but
have very little to contribute. I am a tyer but a poor one but good enough
to catch some fish. I live in NC about an hour away from the mountains and
do mostly day trips and fish wets and nymphs. Mostly hatchery supported
waters but some wild. My "go to" fly is a partridge and yellow tyed with
fine wire. Thanks for letting me pick you guys brains.
