I have been a member of two other fly fishing lists prior to VFB. Both of them were absolutely ruined with political discussions.

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
It is well known that no person who regards his reputation will ever kill a trout with anything but a fly. It requires some training on the part of the trout to take to this method. . . . No sportsman however, will use anything but the fly, except when he happens to be alone. Charles Dudley Warner, 1862 During my addled career as a trout fisherman I have gone on a lot of wild-goose chases, and I ruefully expect to go on a lot more before I hang up my waders.

Re: [VFB] hook swap
Choose a hook style from the hooks at Hagensfish.com. Dai-Riki I think. Hooks are from $55 to $65/thousand. Add 10% for excise tax and $5.00 for postage. I will divinded the hooks up by weight on a scale at the chemistry deparmten tof the local University. You will get equal numbers of hooks in several sytles and sizes.

RE: [VFB] Thunder Creek Flies - Question?
I agree with you Peggy, I use the 3/0 red thread for my gills and it seems to be the best. I've just started to use some of these in our salt water creeks here and they are working better than expected.

After I've folded the bucktail back I use red thread 3/0 or a single strand floss to tie it down and make the gill appearance. The trout don't seem to notice the little extra on the top and bottom, actually I think it provokes a response from the fish and you catch more. Kinda makes them mad type of thing. Also, these can be made and fish well with good quality craft fur, the H2O brand 'just add water' is fairly long. This is one of my flies for my intro class.
