Joyce, I have done the Milkweed fly. But Kapok is actually I think something way different. As I remember it comes from a tree. It was used in life preservers. Very good flotation. It makes a great post for emergers. I bought a bag from an export business in CA. If you would like some I think I can find it and send you some.

Mike Bliss spaketh thusly: I have done the Milkweed fly. But Kapok is actually I think something way different. As I remember it comes from a tree. Mike, you're right on. They gathered milkweed seeds to replace kapok during Archie Bunker's BIG War (WWII) when Kapok was unavailable. Memory says it came from the Phillipines which wer under Japanese occupation. At least that is what we were told at the time. Hm. Wikipedia (can you believe something anyone can edit?) says that Kapok is native to Mexico and Central AMerica. Then they show pictures of kapok trees in Haaii and India. The milkweed collection was probably because they could not get enough kapok. I was too young to be involved but my brother decided he was going to get rich - I think you could get $10 for a pound of milkweed seeds. But I think a pound of milkweed seeds would be about 4 or 5 bushels and he rapidly found that there was not that much milkweed in the county. Thanks for resurrecting memories. a. -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN afi...@sbcglobal.net --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: KAPOK - was [VFB] Re: Gather milkweed
Now that we are getting to collecting Milkweed for the War Effort, we as students in school, in the fall of the year collected the pods, that is not what we called them. I have forgotten what is was. In any case, our school was a collection station and we had contests on what class would collect the most. We walked along the road out of the city and in the fields to collect the milkweed pods. That was a lifetime ago.

[VFB] Re: fur swap
So, just to make certain I get the gist right: Any fly with fur... 12 flies...due 01JAN2010? *IF* that's the case, count me in - I'm not sure what I'll do, but I'm thinking it will be in the 12 to 16-ish range for size. I have a silly work trip over a wednesday to friday where I'll have more than enough time to tie up a few dozen flies (two or three dozen to squelch my perfectionism via practice, then one more dozen for 'good enough to swap' status ;) ) (if I misread the due date, sorry for the false alarm, but I don't wish to be a downer or hold-up for the rest of the group... I'm learning to work with the OCD, but I don't want to push it - anyhow, that's another issue for another day - count me in if the specifics are per above.)

When i'm tyin'i'm painting flies as much as tyin' flies..to me the materials are but paint i use to put on a canvas, which is a hook. Thass why i use unorthadox techniques to Paint my flies at times. i'm not interested in pleasing anyone but myself first and formost. and i do not think in terms of fishing with the flies what-so-ever. It's simply a work or art for my own pleasure.extremely selfishbut BIG fun. it's basically just a form of self expression and therapy and the manifestation of ideas...thoughts...dreamsyou name it..and i just caint help myself. lmao.

We walked along the road out of the city and in the fields to collect the milkweed pods. That was a lifetime ago.

But Kapok is actually I think something way different. As I remember it comes from a tree. Mike, you're right on. They gathered milkweed seeds to replace kapok during Archie Bunker's BIG War (WWII) when Kapok was unavailable. Memory says it came from the Phillipines which wer under Japanese occupation. At least that is what we were told at the time. Hm. Wikipedia (can you believe something anyone can edit?) says that Kapok is native to Mexico and Central AMerica. Then they show pictures of kapok trees in Haaii and India. The milkweed collection was probably because they could not get enough kapok. I was too young to be involved but my brother decided he was going to get rich - I think you could get $10 for a pound of milkweed seeds. But I think a pound of milkweed seeds would be about 4 or 5 bushels and he rapidly found that there was not that much milkweed in the county.

Chuck, that's not that expensive...the most i've ever paid for a single hook is $40.but i have plenty of hooks i could get $50 or more for, right now tonight (Buy it NOW on ebay).believe me, there's a huge market out there for Reinhold, Lucas Sr., Sunday, Smith, and Pilgaard hooks..i've got dozens and dozens of them.but i tye on them little by little because they are hard to find and VERY expensive. For every half dozen to a dozen flies i do on ordianariy (priced made) hooks, i do one on a collectors item hook. The reason they are so expensive is at least two-fold. Either the maker is no longer making hooks, as is the case with Ron Reinhold or is dead, as is the case with Eugene Sunday.and then the fact that the hooks Ronn Lucas Sr. makes and Jens Pilgaard makes are ONLY made by them and no one else in the world can do them, and they are made one at a time by hand. It's very labor intensive and there are many steps in the process. And they are the best in the world.and you cannot find them in stores.you have to know where to get them and how to get them.which is no big secret.but do you know?

[VFB] Re: Streamo fly.....
Patrick, they are quite difficult to tye on in terms of the added challange they present to the tyer.you have to move them around in the vise to different angles in order to access the shanks decently, and of course you also have to adjust your thinking for various reasons...one of which is not the least important being, remembering to watch you don't nik the thread on the point of the hook because your not used to the point being where it is. Jens hooks are so unorthadox that he even has some that have the barb (as in one i posted) on the outside of the point area instead of the inside..i wish you could see his other work someday.it's like nothin' you've EVER seen, unless you've been in Europe in the summer time and gone to the Vicking shows. etc. Jens makes knives, swords, and all kinna armor and weapons of all kinds...and the stuff is UNBELIEVABLE in it's beauty and intricacy and the materials he uses and the designs he puts in them and on and onit's really somethin' you gotta see to believe. And he does these Vicking shows all over Europe in the summer time..he's a WILD Cat. Stone Cold Master...when you see his stuff.your eyes will totally BUG OUT! It's simply UNREAL beautiful...

Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:52:46 -0500 I'll send ya that offlist. reason I said the pink is because my Pink Panfish Producer has caught us well over 3,000 bluegills per season, for the last four years, then we only caught about 800 on it this year, but only cause we only fished a few times. I don't know what it is about pink, but the bluegills LOVE it. I also have ppl who bass fish (as in big lures and spinning reels etc) who we have given these flies too. They put them on their casting reels, along with a little piece of split shot and came back wanting to buy more flies, cause they said that they caught bass good as well. I personally have caught a 4 pound plus bass on one of them (see attached pic) and it was only about a size 12 LOL. I've also caught a lot of the 3/4-1 pound size like the one in the other pic. Both were released unharmed.

there is no hook making machine on earth that can do what can be done by hand...don't go like that. Fine finishes, (Japanesd or other wise), fine barbs, points and cutterssimply cannot be reproduced by machine...not to mention the tapers and bends...see, when you look at a blind eye hook.that's all you see. a blind eye hook.but when i look at a blind eye hook or anyone who has developed an eye for such things.we see so much more. there are dozens of different bend styles and tapers and point/barb/cutter styles and the finishes are different from maker to makerso you have to put in the time to be able to make these distinctions...and also if you collect Salmon flies tyed on blind eye hooks as i do.you also become a conisoure(sp?)like the same deal with fine wine.or antique cars or whateveryou know what your lookin' at.and like the Japanese, What Good Is.

What i mean is it's a little society of it's own in a manor of speakin'so you have to be aware of the in's and out's and sometimes how and when and where to find them at a savings if at all possible..auctions and things. Especially in the case of the Reinhold's and Sunday's and Smith'sonly certain people around the country deal in them and have access to estates when the times come to where they can get ahold of them when a Salmon fly tyer dies, etc. i've been collecting them for years now. Buying them every chance i get and can afford to. Hope that answers you guestion.
