All of us use peacock herl in making fly bodys, etc. but how do ya'll use the rest of the feather. This is a Dumb question I know, but I don't know the answer.

[VFB] Re: auction
Went through the Wapsi plant at a SowBug. Amazing at the amount of stuff they go through. Rick From: Mark Romero To: virtual fly box Sent: Tue, October 13, 2009 4:31:52 AM Subject: [VFB] Re: auction Your refering to Mr. Tom Schmucker(sp?), a VERY VERY nice man. He and his wife Ann, took Misako and i out to lunch one time, after we had had "the tour" of the Wapsi plantplant for lack of a better word. The place is amazing...totally amazing. It's the biggest fly tyin' materials operation in the world. Every tyer should take "the tour" at least once. You learn a lot. And Tom and Ann are so sweet. Misako won the framed Green Highlander that Tom tyed and donated for the Ladies Lunchen at Conclave here a week ago. Fishin' here IS unreal in terms of both cold and warm water species all in one place. All the Wapsi kids but one are in the business as well.they were all good friends of Charles Barton too.

I think that I will start my own blacklist and will not particpate in swaps or
will withdraw from swaps if someone on my blacklist is part of the swap.
Most of the culprits just do not communicate. Presumably they are too
embarrased to do so. They get all enthused when a swap is announced and submit
their name but do not check their other obligations, or more likey lose
intertest in the swap over time.
Even if you are ill, you should still be able to get a message out. The only
exception is if the person drops dead from a heart attack.

Subject: [VFB] Re: We Need a BLacklist
Know the feeling. I just hosted a tiny fly swap here in Sweden. We were twelve
tiers but it turned out to be ten flies... with five "reserves" who had seen
the announcement too late, but were standing in line to jump in.
One envelope came in with a big hole in it... flies lost. But as he was eager
to tie new ones, we agreed to push the due date a week for him to be able to do
his best and not his quickest.
This gave the two no-shows another week too... and I called them both, since
they didn't answer my PM's on the forum. The one I reached said that he had
forgotten about them and was "going to mail them tonight... tomorrow at the
latest". The PLANNED extra week passed and, due to factors preventing me to do
"my stuff" with pictures and sorting, so did another week.
I mailed them today, three weeks later than planned. The one I didn't reached
is still not to be reached. The one who said he was going to mail his flies
three weeks ago hasn't said a word since... and if they had just SAID that
their flies weren't coming, it wouldn't have been a problem filling both
places... having five people waiting with three weeks to tie.
Preventing people from participating... and making the other tiers spending
extra hours behind the vise (the size range on the flies tied in this swap
was #24-32... not five minute-flies to quite a few, who before this swap hadn't
tied smaller than #20).
They will be reminded about this if they show interest in future swaps of mine.

"It's frequently difficult to maintain correct color one dubbing becomes wet and translucent. Thank the hook shank: it's in the middle of everything, soaking up light like a dark heart defeating every effort to brighten things up. Even using substantially lighter dubbing only partially solves the problem. My solution is to start tying the body using Mylar tinsel."

"Accepted theory tell us that wings out to be a little on the tall side...

"Most people say that tying flies to save money is a fallacy. What do you think? "Well, I have sort of a different take on that. I tell most people it'll cost them $350 to $400 to really get into fly tying. That's tools, materials- everything you need to tie flies for fishing. That might seem like a bunch of money, but compared to the price of a lot of rods and reels, that's not bad. And for that money, I point out that they'll be getting a whole lot of flies in return.

[VFB] warmwater midges
If you are on a pond and see a alrge number or rises or the rings from the rises, but you are not catching any fish, it is time for midges. Fish an unwieghted or very light weighetted midge. Fish are taking them just under the surface and the tails are making the ring. Rick --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

"I couldn't tell which brand of caddis they might be, and didn't take time to collect any - one gets into these choices, when the travel schedule is a bit heavy and the fishing time is a bit short, between the desire to collect the insects upon which trout are feeding, or the conflicting desire to collect a tithe of the trout that are feeding on the insects, based on a guess about what the insects might be, and an estimation about which fly might match them."

[VFB] QFTD
from Mike Bliss "FISHING HAS A REPUTATION as an innocuous, fairly mindless pastime enjoyed most by shiftless people. Perhaps that impression would be lessened if nonfishers understood more about wild water. Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. The average visitor driving through Yellowstone sees no farther than the surface of the water. At best the lakes and streams are mirrors reflecting the surrounding scenery. For the alert fisherman, especially the fly fisherman, the surface is not a mirror but a window.
