[VFB] Steeves Sinking Firefly
I wonder if anybody has details of Harry Steeves Sinking Firefly? He talks about it some in his Terrestrials book, and the book even has a picture of it, but did not include any particulars on the pattern. From the picture, it looks like he used an epoxy coated body. I'm not sure, though, what the epoxy is coating (other than the kreinik fluorescent braid at the butt.) Thanks if you're able to shed any light on this. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Materials swap is closed.
Rick: Yeah, what Allan said since we only have eight swappers. I think 7 packages will be easier for the ppl to put together than 9 or 10 anyway, so I think it worked out for the best.

Folks: We have eight swappers in the materials swap, and it seems that is it, although eight is a good number for this type swap. I’m reposting the list of ppl, and the rules of the swap below. From now own, direct any questions or comments to me OFF list. Materials are due to me on March 15th, which gives us about 6 1/2 weeks, and since we don’t have to tie any flies then that should be plenty of time. Thanks, Chuck Materials swap 1. Allan Fish 2. Chuck Alexander 3. Bob Haering 4. Gary Webb 5. Jack Harford 6 Bill Piatek 7.Donna Crowell 8. Rick Zieger Get some of the little (or big) zip lock bags from Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or any other craft stores that sell them. They are very cheap, as in about $2 a pack at my Hobby Lobby. Put your material or materials in these bags, and make SURE and put a paper or sticker with your name on it, so I know who sent me what so I don't “short change” anybody inadvertently. Here’s the deal though. You’ll need to send 10 different bags. Take your materials and for example, if you have ten yards of chenille to swap, cut it into ten equal lengths, and bag those up. If you have two or more different materials you can or want to send in, you can put them each in separate bags, or put all your materials in the same bag, but just like I said, make SURE and label your bags with your name so I don’t short anybody or get the materials all confused like I said earlier. And if, for example, you wish to swap ten spools of thread, but don’t have ten spools of all black. If that’s the case, you can send 5 each of two colors, or 10 of ten different colors, or however you have to “mix and match it” In this swap, Just send your materials in the normal envelope of box, but I sill spring for the return envelopes as I may need huge ones, or I may need small ones depending on how much stuff the swappers send in, how bulky it is etc. I understand that some tiers have much more materials than others, but whatever you wish to send is fine. The idea is that I may have a bunch of hackles that are great hackles, but maybe I don’t use that particular color and maybe you have materials that are fine, but may be exactly what others tie a lot of etc. The minimum is one material per swapper, but send as much as you can, or wish to send. Sorry for writing rule BOOK here, but I want everybody to understand the rules before committing to signing up. Any questions just email me. Send materials to along with a cpl bucks as per usual to help cover return postage. Like I said, I’ll buy the return packages after I get all the materials and see which size I need to buy: Chuck Alexander 4730 Nubbin Creek Road Lineville, AL 36266 -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Materials swap is closed.
Little confused. Do we send 7 packages or 10 packages? Rick From: Chuck Alexander chuckalexan...@centurylink.net To: fly fishing for panfish flyfishingandflytyingforpanf...@yahoogroups.com; vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 7:43 PM Subject: [VFB] Materials swap is closed. Folks: We have eight swappers in the materials swap, and it seems that is it, although eight is a good number for this type swap. I’m reposting the list of ppl, and the rules of the swap below. From now own, direct any questions or comments to me OFF list. Materials are due to me on March 15th, which gives us about 6 1/2 weeks, and since we don’t have to tie any flies then that should be plenty of time. Thanks, Chuck Materials swap 1. Allan Fish2. Chuck Alexander3. Bob Haering4. Gary Webb5. Jack Harford6 Bill Piatek7.Donna Crowell8. Rick Zieger Get some of the little (or big) zip lock bags from Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or any other craft stores that sell them. They are very cheap, as in about $2 a pack at my Hobby Lobby. Put your material or materials in these bags, and make SURE and put a paper or sticker with your name on it, so I know who sent me what so I don't “short change” anybody inadvertently. Here’s the deal though. You’ll need to send 10 different bags. Take your materials and for example, if you have ten yards of chenille to swap, cut it into ten equal lengths, and bag those up. If you have two or more different materials you can or want to send in, you can put them each in separate bags, or put all your materials in the same bag, but just like I said, make SURE and label your bags with your name so I don’t short anybody or get the materials all confused like I said earlier. And if, for example, you wish to swap ten spools of thread, but don’t have ten spools of all black. If that’s the case, you can send 5 each of two colors, or 10 of ten different colors, or however you have to “mix and match it” In this swap, Just send your materials in the normal envelope of box, but I sill spring for the return envelopes as I may need huge ones, or I may need small ones depending on how much stuff the swappers send in, how bulky it is etc. I understand that some tiers have much more materials than others, but whatever you wish to send is fine. The idea is that I may have a bunch of hackles that are great hackles, but maybe I don’t use that particular color and maybe you have materials that are fine, but may be exactly what others tie a lot of etc. The minimum is one material per swapper, but send as much as you can, or wish to send. Sorry for writing rule BOOK here, but I want everybody to understand the rules before committing to signing up. Any questions just email me. Send materials to along with a cpl bucks as per usual to help cover return postage. Like I said, I’ll buy the return packages after I get all the materials and see which size I need to buy:Chuck Alexander4730 Nubbin Creek RoadLineville, AL 36266-- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB]new swaps coming?
I am doing a swap to remember Denny Conrad. Send 13 flies. One for a shadow box and the others go to Reel Recover. The box will go to his daughter and the letter will include a list of all those who participate.

Re: [VFB]new swaps coming?
I’d like to do this one for the swap. Denny tied a ‘Gray Ugly’ nymph with some chinchilla dubbing I sent him, rope-dubbed with soft-hackle collars fore and aft. The 1st looks like possum, the 2nd hare’s ear, and the 3rd something close to chinchilla. I’ll check my files to see if I have a photo of Denny’s actual tie.
