Re: [VFB] What is in your vices?

This morning I was tying hare ears nymphs, thus afternoon it will be
hoppers unless I sell out of spent mayflies.

I'm at the Irish game fair.

Re: [VFB] re: Whiting hackle bad colors

[ashley strutt]

Hi Joyce,

It might also be due to the company that you bought them off. A friend of
mine ordered from them last year and asked for specific colours of hackle.
What he got was way of colour and when he contacted them the person who
runs the company was what can only be described has nasty so I won't deal
with them. Personally I also like to only buy hackle I can see and examine
my self.

 I just got an order of Whiting rooster saddles from Lakeland Flytying
 in the UK>  These were to be black/claret dyed, fiery brown and lake olive.
 I was amazed at how bad the colors were. The black claret has no claret,
 just straight purple on the black. The fiery brown has no brown, rather a
 red/orange color, and the lake olive is yellow gold, no green in the mix. I
 have compared this hackle color with the same hackle colors that I  had  on
 thiss colored hackle from Whiting before, This dye job must have been done
 by someone who is color blind.  I am wondering, does Whiting do the dying
 or is this bad color job done by Lakeland flytying? I would appreciate any
 input at all. This has really put me off on Whiting dyed rooster saddles.

Re: [VFB] Thread Colors

I tend you only use about six anyway, black, white, yellow, red, orange and
brown. I could also add mono which is clear and doesn't count to the six
because it doesn't have colour.

Re: [VFB] Just curious - Looking for a Fly Tyer article

[ashley strutt]

I would agree that the older issues are of a higher quality. I still get 
it in case I can pick up any new ideas. For example, the autumn issue 
has an article on coyote fur for saltwater flies which I want to try. 
Got to get some quality fur first, just try that in the UK!


I have actually stopped subscribing because they kept messing up my 
subscription through incompetence so get mine through ebay which 
actually turns out to be slightly cheaper and I get my issues earlier 
than if I subscribed. I think that the Editor and the company who own it 
are at fault for its degeneration.

I wish the editors would take a look at some of these older issues

Yes,  for some reason the cover of the Autumn issue said summer on the

Re: [VFB] Soft hackle Streamer

[ashley strutt]

Hi Jack,

I saw Jack tie it several years ago.  He tied the hackle in as if tying a
sift hackle fly and then combed the hackle back with an eye lash comb to
get the effect he wanted. I will double check his book in a little while
but I am sure that is how he did it.

Re: [VFB] Flytyr

[ashley strutt]

I had problems when last time I subscribed to the print version so I
cancelled,  then went to digital and no problem for a couple of years then
they changed software or new service or something which switched me for
some reason to print again,  plus not being able to log in and I was left
owed 3 copies hence cancelling and buying of eBay. I rang them several
times and told it will be sorted but it never was.

 told them that I had not received it. They said they would add another
 issue to my subscription.  I told them I did not want that I wanted the
 Winter issue as I have every copy from Issue #1 and I don't want to miss an
 issue. She said that they will send me a copy of the Winter 2014 issue. For
 those that have not received their copy I would contact them and let them
 know.

Re: [VFB] fly tyer magazine winter 2014

[ashley strutt]

Hi Gary,

No,  different companies which sell magazines individually,  I  found it
cheaper and easier than a printed subscription. I did have a digital
subscription but I  was messed about and lied to by the subscription
department hence why I went down this way of getting it. I  don't normally
have any problems.  I just haven't seen it advertised and thought I may
have missed out or it had gone.

Cheers
Ashley

 Good morning,

 I have been buying Fly tyer magazine through ebay for nearly a year
 after being messed about by the subscription idiots and I am not seeing
 the latest winter issue listed for over a month. Has one been released?

 If it has, would be possible for someone to send a copy over to the UK
 if I pay them through paypal?

 Thanks

Re: [VFB] fly tyer magazine winter 2014

Gary,

I am tending to agree with you when it comes to books and magazines
concerning fly tying and fishing has it is easier to reference them which
is one of the main reasons I started picking it up the way I did.

Re: [VFB] Dying feathers with Rit dye ???

[ashley strutt]

Hi Chuck,

Black is notorious for being very difficult to dye with fabric dyes such as
Rit (and dylon).  From experience, I wouldn't bother wasting your time with
black Rit but try and find a black dye that is stronger,  when I get around
to it I will be searching for one myself.

Personnally,  I  would always add the vinegar.

   Folks: Can anybody give me the “secret” to dying feathers (and/or

 demin material he wanted dyed black. He added TWO boxes of Rit dye to the
 three gallons or so of water as he had four yards of material to dye. Adde
 the salt but not the vinegar as it said to only use the vinegar with salt
 if the material is silk or wool and not cotton. Brought the water to a
 boil, then let it soak all day. Still just came out a darker purple and NIT
 jet black like the dye is.

 Now is my problem in that. He saved the water as I have a ton of grizzly
 feathers, but hardly any black, so I was just going to sye a grizzly neck
 in that same dye water mix after he finished. But I don’t want the grizzly
 to go from black and white, to purple ad white. Any tips?? Should I add
 vinegar?? Thanks, Chuck

Re: [VFB] Storage organization of materials

[ashley strutt]

I tie for several different types of water and fish including the
occasional order.  I  keep the bulk of sometimes used stuff in large
tubes,  craft and work shop drawers.  For immediate use I have a system in
place where its in an easy to get to spread pile on my tying table 

Ashley
On 21 Jul 2014 02:00, Neville Gosling nev.gosl...@shaw.ca wrote:

 One of the pleasant problems of living in British Columbia is the diverse
 fishing opportunities that it offers the fly fisherman.

 I start my season in March  April tying chironomid or buzzers as they are
 known in the UK. This is lake fishing for rainbow trout with usually starts
 late April for me. Hook sizes from 12 to 18 with 14 the most common.

 As the season progresses, the rivers which in the early season are high
 due to seasonal snowmelt drop and river fishing for rainbows and bull trout
   dolly varden come into season.
 This requires weighted flies such as stoneflies and prince nymphs for the
 rainbows and large heavily weighted attractor flies for the bull trout.
 Later as the rivers drop further, the opportunity for fishing the dry fly
 comes usually in sizes 12-16 while smaller  lighter nymphs  soft hackles
 are also useful.

 When August comes around, the opportunity for summer run steelhead occur
 in mid  northern BC, and another lot of flies are required from surface
 skaters to wet flies, intruders and tube flies dependant upon conditions.
 Also, at this time of the year, there are runs of pink (every 2nd year) 
 chinook salmon in the ocean which require different flies from very small
 to very large.

 October is coho salmon time in the rivers, and again the most suitable
 flies are usually a different size and style.

 Finally, in the winter, there are winter run steelhead which generally
 require large attractor flies fished deep. I do very little of this,
 because  don't like taking a rock to stand on!

 As a result, in the past 40 odd years of fly tying, I have built up more
 tying materials than I have room for, but I never have exactly what I need
 to tie the particular fly that has caught my eye for a certain fish or
 application.

 How do you store your materials?

 How do you find the materials that you need right now?

 How do you keep them organized?

 I have tried various ways i.e. by material type - synthetics, foam, fur
 feathers etc.   - By excel spreadsheet and numbered plastic shoe type
 boxes, sets of numbered plastic drawers - but it is still less than
 satisfactory.

 I try to organize my fly boxes by fly and fish type, with one large drawer
 of trout fly boxes with sub categories for chironomid, dries, nymphs etc
 and another drawer for steelhead and salmon flies.

 My fly tying tools also need more organization as I can never seem to find
 what I want without a search  sometimes, not even then.

 I would appreciate any ideas that the list members have.

[VFB] a blizzard of salt come through the post

[ashley strutt]

Hi,

I meant to write this yesterday but got distracted.

Both the Blizzard and salt water swaps arrived yesterday. Thanks to 
Peggy for hosting and the gift with the salty flies as well as everyone 
who took part for the flies.

I've been really busy with work but managing to get some tying in. I've
also managed to fish 2 or 3 times in different places. Weekend just past
was the river Wylie near Warminster. Water was a bit cloudy and up a little
bit but managed a couple of browns and Grayling on a snowshoe emerger.

Re: [VFB] BEWARE OF PICASSA AND GOOGLE PLUS!!!!!!

[ashley strutt]

Hi Chuck,

99% of people don't even read the terms and conditions before clicking OK.
Think I may have been one of the few who actually realised all my pictures
would be uploaded. Picassa now seems to be a part of Google plus which I
have disabled on my phone (no auto upload) and won't allow it on my laptop.
Basically just use the email.

   Folks: Just FYI. If you use Picasa, or Google plus, be aware that every
 photo on your hard drive might be being shared with the world (or at least
 anybody else on Google plus). I was looking for fly tying videos on You
 Tube tonight and a pop up saying free samples of  Tide detergent',which
 WAS a legit offer. I have been playing the free sample game: for yrs.
 But on this one, as I read the Terms of Service and of course in the tiny
 print it said something like by clicking agree you are agreeing to
 install picasa and/or Google+.

 So, I went to Google+ just to check it out, and what did I find??? only
 8.3 GIGS of my own pics. Now, none was anything I wouldn't share with the
 world, BUT, that should be MY CHOICE, not some lawyers lingo and his
 terms of service and tiny print.  And even if I inadvertently clicked I
 agree on some terms of service on something as innocent as free samples
 of Tide detergent for example, don't you think either Picasa, and/or
 Google+ could have the decency to pop open a whole screen for you to fill
 in your personal info, click what you did and did NOT want to be shared,
 like photos etc??  Any up and up company would have done so IMHO. I think
 Google has Gotten too big for their britches and my wife has had me using
 Bing as a search engine for a some time now, and it's actually a better
 search engine IMHO anyway...

 I would still use Google at times, as old habits die hard, but you can bet
 I won't use it again unless my life depended on it. How many pp, even if
 they do read the terms of service ACTUALLY understand them fully?? 1%
 MAYBE??? Come to find out that I guess Google owns Picasa, and it's just
 another way of sharing photos, like Photo bucket etc. But, at least I was
 FULLY AWARE when I created myself a Photo Bucket acct.

 Then, I had to get my wife to UNINSTALL all that junk, and she works for
 MICROSOFT as a support tech, and even she had to study it for an hour to
 figure out how to turn it off/delete it. Anyway, if you use either Picasa,
 and/or Google+ and find out your pics are  being shared with the world and
 don't want them to be, just write to me and I'll give you the step by step
 (because there is ONE step (ie I Agree) to get the program, but MANY steps,
 which must be taken in the right step by step or you'll never get rid of
 it, or at least turn off the photo sharing part of it. I was sooo mad
 when I found out I'd been tricked, if I could have reached through the
 screen and choked whoever was/is responsible for this, I would have LOL...

[VFB] magazine swap

[ashley strutt]

Hi All,

I have been having bit of a clear out this week and before I put some 
early issues of Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Magazine on ebay I am 
wondering of there would be any interest in swapping them for recent 
issues of FlyTyer.


I was subcribing to Flytyer digital version but they have massively 
messed my account up and I cann't get my issues so I'm going back to 
paper (its actually cheaper to buy new  through issues through ebay as I 
recently discovered). But I do need some back issues to make the 
collection complete as I use it more as a library and reference 
material  than any thing.

Word on site is that the freezing weather is on its way. Hard to believe

Hi Jack,

Most of my saltwater fishing is done for striped bass and blue fish.

Anyway, I'll definitely be in this as well.

 WHy not?  Nobody has stepped up yet so I'll volunteer to be swap meister.
 Or is it swamp meister after last week's Florida trip?

 Swap are rules simple:

 *ROPE DUBBED SWAP RULES:  *

 (1)  Tie a dozen of ANY rope-dubbed fly.  MUST be rope-dubbed, preferably
 with ice dub or equivalent.

 (2)  A MAXIMUM of 13 swappers.  Each person ties 12 flies.  You don't get
 one of your own back.  If you want one of your own, tie it but don't mail
 it.

 (3)  Christmas is always a busy time and January is the doldrums
 month.   Therefore the line*:
 Get the flies *to me* by February 7, 2014.   That means *get them
 mailed no later than January 31.*
 *(At my antiquated age I don't like any word with the subword dead in
 it!)

 (4)  When mailing, include return postage, or a SASE envelope.

 My address:

 8.  Ashley Strutt
 9.  Rick Zieger if he can find his dubbing
 10. Wayne Blake-Hedges
 11. Bob Haering
 12. J. Balmer
 13.



 *ONLY ONE OPENING LEFT - REPLY QUICKLY IF YOU WANT IN. And, no, I will NOT
 expand it for late-comers.  First come, first swapped! *(There were at
 least three requests for keeping the number of flies small - I'm including
 myself)

Re: [VFB] Roll call and winter fly-swap interest??

Hi DonO,

I'm still here, just lurking. I've been busy with work for several months
with a lot of time away. Had a nice couple weeks of to fish for Stripers.
Now hoping to spend more time working near home so I can tie flies and
train hard for my black belt grading/test which starts in February.

I like the idea of a swap. Not sure about Polar bear use and sending. Ice
dubbing is fine. I see an Arctic theme here...penguin feathers? :-)

   VFB Roll Call...  Who’s still here?

 And let us know how you are doing if you feel like it.

 I’ll start.  Got my diabetes on the run. Off insulin now (un-officially)
 and my BG readings are still all normal. Exercise and diet have been the
 key for me. Up to a mile on the treadmill now- walking, jogging, and
 wind-sprinting up to 6 mph so far with incline. Two months ago a 5 min. *2
 mph* *level walk* pooped me out. My BP is now normal after the workout
 and after the cool-down. Have lost 45 pounds so far (less of me to love).
 Who-hoo!

 Anyone interested in *fly swaps* now that winter is here?  Something with
 ice-dubbing? or polar bear?

 I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a simple introductory You-tube to
 just give a basic understanding on what the Rope-dub is and why it differs
 from other dubbing techniques. I’ve been considering as least part of it as
 side-by-side videos comparing my roping to looping, split thread, sticky

 Any ideas/comments? Yea or Nay?

Re: [VFB] Sparrow

[ashley strutt]

Jack's website is kept by Mike who looked after it while Jack was still
alive and decided to keep it going.
I'm glad he did otherwise all the info and articles would be lost. I think
he still puts out an occasional newsletter during the season ans sells the
books and materials.

 Alan,

 In case Hans isn't awake at 3:33 a.m.:

 Hans has two versions on his website.  The one tiied by John Ridderbos, is
 Jack Gartside's original recipe:
 http://www.danica.com/flytier/**jridderbos/sparrow.htmhttp://www.danica.com/flytier/jridderbos/sparrow.htm

 The other one, tied byTim Didas, has a bushier (marabou) tail.
 http://www.danica.com/flytier/**tdidas/sparrow.htmhttp://www.danica.com/flytier/tdidas/sparrow.htm

 FINALLY, the original recipe and step-wise instructions are on the
 originator's website, Jack Gartside (I miss that crazy guy):
 http://www.jackgartside.com/**step_gartside_sparrow.htmhttp://www.jackgartside.com/step_gartside_sparrow.htm

 I don't know who is keeping Jack's website up now that Jack has sailed off
 to his eternal fishing hole, but whoever it is should be thanked.  Lots of
 good info there.

 Hope this helps.

Re: [VFB] Fly of the week

Hi Alan,

The tube is plastic with sparkles which is why I chose it for the fly.

 That is a great use for a tube fly.
 I have been looking for a good bass fly and this certainly fit the bill.
 Are you using a metal tube?
 I'm sure I could substitute craft hair or Puglisi hair?

 Hi All,

 Seeing as though the list is a bit slow I thought I'd do a fly of the week.

 I've recently been playing with tubes and some of what I got recently were
 plastic with sparkle within the plastic. I decided that these cried out for
 saltwater baitfish and this fly came to mind.

 The wing is Congo hair and is supported with EZ tubing to help flair it a
 little. The end is coloured nail varnish which is covered with epoxy. I
 might change this to fabric paint with sparkles.

 Nice to see VFB posts again on a tying subject.

 Anyone interested in seeing a different take-off on rope-dubbed flies?

 Very interesting look- very 'buggy'.  But you'll need a tool- a copper
 wire brush.  Works best with natural fur dubbing, and somewhat with
 synthetics.  Works with rope-furled natural fur dubbings= leeches  worms.

 Hi Guys

 Went Grayling fishing on Tuesday and although I didn't catch the intended
 species I did manage my first ever Salmon, not very big a Grilse of about
 24 but it put up a great fight on my 4weight rod and in fast water.

 Sorry the fish is a bit muddy but just wanted a pic before I put it back

Re: [VFB] re: skinning mallard question

[ashley strutt]

Hi Joyce,

I've skinned a few ducks. Basically I slit the bird along the breast up to
the base of the beak. Cut around that then carefully peel the skin back.
When you get to the wings try and peel the skin back along the wing to get
the bulk of meat and cut the wings when you can get no further. Continue
with the peeling until you reach the tail and cut.  I use a craft knife as
I have found it better for skinning for tying.

After skinning, sock the skin in mild detergent for a couple of hours to
try and get the grease out. Rinse the soap out and dry with newspapers. Saw
dust may also be worth a try.

Lay flat and rub borax into the skin with extra around the wings. Replace
this borax after a couple of days with fresh.

Hope that helps

Ashley

 I just received a mallard and a teal duck..the meat of the breasts was
 taken out, but the head, legs and wings are still on the birds. I want to
 finish skinning them but have not dealt with ducks before. I question how
 best to get out the wing bones and meat while saving the feathers, is there
 a best way? Also how about the head..the bill is still on it as well.  Do I
 slit it under the neck or from the top of the head and attempt to remove
 the skul with the bill? How about the legs..slit down the front and remove
 the feet? Inquiring minds would like to know how to best save every feather
 of these birds.  When they are completely skinned, I'm planning to bury
 them in Borax for a time until the skin is all dried out.  I await advice.
 Thanks. Joyce

Re: [VFB] Tying light set up

When I was originally thinking about this I wasn't really thinking about
battery powered lights as I don't tie away from my desk very often, only
when I'm on a fishing trip or possibly when working away and have to finish
an order of. Maybe now will have to consider the option if I do
demonstrations at clubsie if KP gets his wish.

[VFB] Tying light set up

[ashley strutt]

Hi all,

Seeing as though I no longer have uni assignments I find myself with alot
of tying time. I've been thinking recently about upgrading/restocking my
tying area. The only I think could be alot better is the lighting set up. A
moment I have a angle-pose desk light with day light bulb but I think for
the amount of tying I plan and to prevent eye strain I want to improve it.
So I am wondering what others have as there set up.

I'm considering 2 options. The first is a second light as before for dual
lighting. The other is a new single light.

What are the lists thoughts/opinions on tying lighting.

Also, whats the general feeling towards back boards?

Re: [VFB] summer time swap

[ashley strutt]

I would be interested, I need an excuse to tie some hoppers I was shown 
a couple of years ago.


When is the due date? How many in the swap?

I like the idea of an extra set for the Childrens Hospital.

Ashley

I'm thinking about hosting a 2012 Summertime Hopper Fly Swap.
Is there any interest? Also if it makes we will tye one extra to donate
to a silent auction for Children's Hospital in Little Rock.

Hi All;
Speaking of swaps, do you save your swap flies or use them?
I recently got all the swap flies I've recieved over the years(yeah
I just saved them) and laid them out on our dining room table. I
know but my wife is out of town all week and I have the house to
myself, have to clean them up completely tonight. What I found was,
I DONT NEED TO TIE ANY MORE FLIES FOR A WHILE! Unless a very
specific pattern is required, I pretty much have all my bases
covered, trout dries, nymphs, soft hackles, wets, warmwater-
deerhair bass bugs, streamers, poppers, panfish poppers, wets,
nymphs, etc.
I filled a soap box with just chilipeppers, one with soft
hackles,one with panfish poppers, it goes on and on. I have two
plano 3650 boxes crammed full of various wooly buggers/worms.
Anybody else see this trend? Oh, by the way I decided I'm going to
load them in fly boxes and fish them this year.

Re: [VFB]Swap Flies

I have all my swap flies saved, connections with friends, ideas to copy. I
am thinking of mounting some of the fly swaps in shadow frames. Themes like
Tarpon (I have a Tarpon scale that I would like to use as a centre piece)
deer hair and stripped bass flies. If I find a picture or something
connected with the swap name then I will mount them. But this will not
happen for a while.

Re: [VFB] Mustad hooks cheap

[ashley strutt]

Well, I maybe cann't although my guess is that these originated as bait 
hooks, possibly worm.


I tried wikipedia and even they don't know.

I have trying off and on over the years to figure it out myself, one of 
the greatest unanswered questions. The explaination of being a worm hook 
is the closet I've come to answering it.


Wondering if DonO knows, actually, haven't seen him on list for a while, 
getting concerned.


Ashley
I have no idea why they are called English bait hooks. Having fished 
the first 28 years of my life in England, both as a bait fisher and 
fly fisher, I never came across this style of hook.  Maybe Ashley can 
shed some light on this?

Hi Neville,

I tried registering but nothing. I asked about it on this list and was 
told they're still going (I said about the date). It would be nice to 
find a link or something.

Hi Brian,

Really good news. Pleased to hear.

 Hi Guys and Gals

 just been to hospital for my latest scan results.
 Tumors on the liver have all shrunk a bit more and the doc says I
 shouldn't need another scan for 6 months unless I get any symptoms of it re
 growing.

 Looks like all your prayers are working, keep up the good work.

 To keep it fishing related, this news means I will now buy a season ticket
 on a water that we fish regularly.

I think veniards do a thinner for their varnish. Other than that I'm not
sure.

Re: [VFB] Great prices on furs, feathers, and skins

I agree on the good prices and that the materials LOOK good quality but
there is a minus in that they don't do international orders which is a
shame because I'm looking for a supplier of bucktails at a reasonable price.

Re: [VFB] Antron Question???

Hi Chuck,

I would be tempted to say that the material was poly yarn. It looks very
similar to a poly yarn that I have.

 it's not marked, and I have forgotten exactly what it's called. Is it
 actually antron?? Or something totally different?? It makes great dragonfly
 wings etc as you can see. Thanks a lot, Chuck

Hi Ron,

I think what a splitback nymph is, is a nymph such as a hares ear tied 
as normal BUT it as a wing which comes out of the thorax area with the 
wing case pulled over as normal but with it goes eother side of the wing.


I had one which had a small wing of snowshoe rabbit.
