  I can't believe the prices on some books. That AK Best production book I just 
snapped up. Now, the next least expensive one on Amazon or Half.com is about 
$25-26 (at least from sellers I'd even buy from as the two others at $14 each 
are Amazon sellers and they lose half my books I order) and they go on up to 
about $95 like I said before. I'm sure the book is worth every dime and then 
some. It's just that it's hard for a Po Boy to get up much of a book 
collection these days LOL... Chuck

[VFB] Don

2009-11-03 Thread Mark Romero

Don, for your project. Or anyone who might wanna know. 

Don't really know if anyone else has problems getting good gut to use with 
blind eye hooks...but i'm finding alternative sources. Well, i recently 
found another one anyway. Not only do old Violin, Bass, Viloa, Cello, and 
Ukelele strings work well.but tennis racquet gut also does. Apparently 
modern racquets predominately use a synthetic gut.but the old natural stuff 
can be found. And it's not to expensive at all. Just in case there's anyone out 
there who tyes on blind eyes. Good thing about it is you don't have to twist 
it.it comes ready to use.  You will have to nibble on the ends to get it to 
seperate for tapered trimmings.but that's no biggie. If your worried bout 
germs before suckin' on it for a few minutes to get it pliable enough to form a 
loop.just dip it in boiling water for a few seconds first, or nuke it for 
10 seconds before you put it in your mouth. 

Don, for your project and the size of that hook.i'd reccommend Bass string 
gut, lol.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

2009-11-03 Thread Jimmy D. Moore
  In every species of fish I've angled for, it is the ones that have 
got away
that thrill me the most, the ones that keep fresh in my memory.  So I say
it is good to lose fish.  If we didn't, much of the thrill of angling 
would be
gone.

I once saw a step-by-step process for preparing gut  from silkworms. I 
was curious if anyone has it, or has ever tried preparing their own. It 
looked to be quite a simple process, and my daughter's pre-school has 
some munching away at leaves in boxes. Evil thoughts have been crossing

It's quite a piece I'll tell you. Wenger was at the Hunting/Fishing show I
did in August and I played a little with it. Certainly not a 'pocket knife'.
The purpose was to make ONE of them... just for show (and the record). But
Americans got crazy about it and that was what made them put it into
production.

 Thanks,
 but an other mail isn't going through.
 
 if you have some time, pls do me a favor:
 
 The page : http://www.alrhome.de/ff/swap.xml
 It should show some 10 neat flies with names and tyers. There are some
 links on it, but they do not work.
 
 As you see at the extension, it is not html, but xml data. therefore the
 display of the page depends upon if your browser can handle the xml and
 the xslt stylesheet (for the IT guys among us).
 
 I'm in detail interested, whether older browser or macs can show the page.
 
 If it works, it is much easer to create the pages for swaps than do it
 conventionally with HTML.
 
 
 Thanks

[VFB] Re: The ULTIMATE Swiss army knife!!!!

2009-11-03 Thread Niclas Runarsson
Think I remember something now that the Wenger guy said
 
Since Wenger has different series with different knife models, for example
the series 'Sports' with the models 'Backpacker', 'Fisherman', 'Biker',
'Motorist' and 'Golfer'... and the series NewRanger with models like
'Hunter', 'Gardener', 'Electrician', it's a wide range of fields... with a
lot of different tools suiting the different models.
 
One thought behind the Gigant Knife 2007 was to make ONE knife that had all
the features from their other models.
 
... and suddenly the question I had been walking with was answered: Why do
I see a tool called 'junior round blade' on a $1000+ knife?. No father
would let a child who required a 'junior round blade' to even come close to
it.
But apparently the purpose wasn't so fathers swimming in money could buy
their sons something cool to brag about in their kindergarten classes...
just to show what the five knife models in the 'Junior' series offered.

It has to be for show.  How would you slice a piece of cheese with it or
skin a woodchuck or whatever.  But it would make a great conversation piece
- but not for a grand - that's a couple of fine flyrods.

Americans got crazy about it and that was what made them put it into

Not too worried with regards to numbers, sizes and so forth. Both are

Any odd mix of hooks will do. Leftovers, imperfects, 'irregulars',

also cool.

Able to do a swap for something or pay some cash. Good chance to clear

Reuveni've given away well over 10K hooks in the last 4/5 
years.so my stash has taken a damn good hit, but. i've still got 
thousands moreso, i'll wait and see what you send me.then i'll 
reciprocate. Sorry bout the style of arrangement i'm willing to go with at this 
point in time..but i gotta cover.  You dig? 

Suggestion: just bring whatever you may have for me, with you when you come 
here in Jan./Feb./whatever it isthen neither of us has to waste money 
on postage. i spend much more than i would like to, on postage every 
year.so always looking for ways to save on that.  Domo.

[VFB] Swap with only one fly to tie

2009-11-03 Thread iain short

Christmas Fly Swap



1. Simple - you only tie one fly and send me the digital photo of it.

2. Enclose tying instructions and Christmas message to the rest of VFB if you 
like.



3. I put it on both my photobucket and flickr photo sites in a
dedicated Christmas fly   swap album, and I will post the web
addresses so everyone can see the flies.


Any fly as long as you can photograph it but must contain dear hair 
Christmas colours would be nice but not compulsory


no money, no posting flies, just tie one and email the photo with 
instructions
to me

Thanks,
but an other mail isn't going through.

if you have some time, pls do me a favor:

The page :   http://www.alrhome.de/ff/swap.xml
It should show some 10 neat flies with names and tyers. There are some
links on it, but they do not work.

As you see at the extension, it is not html, but xml data. therefore the
display of the page depends upon if your browser can handle the xml and
the xslt stylesheet (for the IT guys among us).

I'm in detail interested, whether older browser or macs can show the page.

If it works, it is much easer to create the pages for swaps than do it
conventionally with HTML.


Thanks

links on it, but they do not work.

As you see at the extension, it is not html, but xml data. therefore the
display of the page depends upon if your browser can handle the xml and
the xslt stylesheet (for the IT guys among us).

I'm in detail interested, whether older browser or macs can show the page.

If it works, it is much easer to create the pages for swaps than do it
conventionally with HTML.


Thanks
Rene

Thomas,
thanks, that was in the email, which was caught several times. links do
not work.
I'm playing around with XML. If it works on all kind of Browsers it can
simplify making my pages.
thanks

 Thanks,
 but an other mail isn't going through.

 if you have some time, pls do me a favor:

 The page :   http://www.alrhome.de/ff/swap.xml
 It should show some 10 neat flies with names and tyers. There are some
 links on it, but they do not work.

 As you see at the extension, it is not html, but xml data. therefore the
 display of the page depends upon if your browser can handle the xml and
 the xslt stylesheet (for the IT guys among us).

[VFB] Peggy Brenner's Hopper Swap

2009-11-03 Thread Neville Gosling



I picked up the hopper swap flies from my PO Box just across the Canada/USA
border today.
Great set of hoppers.  After reading Harrison Steves III's book on foam
flies late this 
summer, I became very interested in foam hopper and the like.  In fact I now
possess the
best supply and variety of hoppers that I have ever had.

DonO's bright chartreuse sheeps wool Katydid looks very realistic, in fact
I'm sure that 
I saw it move its legs.

So thank to Peggy Brenner for organizing the swap and also thanks to Joyce
Westphal who 
obtained the dressing for John Foust's Baler hopper for me, although this
was not part 
of this particular swap.
