Re: [VFB] Pink Squirrel swap update 3/15
Hi Tony: Both you and Don have both had a really tough time and I feel for both of you. I am glad that you have overcome pneumonia because that is much more serious than most people think. Get plenty of rest, try to keep moving as best you can and eat carefully. Best wishes.

Re: [VFB] Pink Squirrel swap update 3/15
Hi DonO; Sorry to learn that you are still in a lot of pain. As far as I am concerned you can take as much time as you like to sort the flies especially as it may cause you pain - for me there is no hurry whatsoever.

Re: [VFB] Pink Squirrel swap update 3/15
Don, I sympathize with you on the pain. I have what they call Phantom Pain.. Even though the foot and leg is gone the pain is still there. At times the pain can go on for hours, it is enough to make a full grown man cry.. I have also developed the shakes. I had planned to tie at one session at the Sowbug Show in two weeks but I am have to drop out on it.Had 10 days in the hospital, got out Sunday, still not having good days. I think they have me on too many meds.Speaking of Sowbug, show will have over 150 tiers over the three day show. 165 are signed up.

Hi Gary and all swappers, I’m still here battling to come back from the stroke.

Re: [VFB] wally wing tool
The needle has a hook on one side that grabs the side of the thread and pulls it apart. He mentioned that one could feel the tiny hook with their finger. I have asked, in German, where one can buy such a device. The video did not say where one could obtain it. I use a common sewing machine needle as my thread splitting needle and it seems to work quite well. However, I'd love to get my hands on the Spleissnadel.

Hi Tony, nice to hear from you. I figured you were busy with health issues and
silent because you didn’t need another swap to stress you out. So sorry about
that. Thanks for the info and for being around for us. Sure hope you’ve gotten
ahead of this new problem in time. Will keep you in my prayers.
I can maybe send you a group of extra PSQN flies if that would work for you.
I’ll bet the guys won’t have a problem tying one more for you.

Great of you. It’ll get even better with practice on different dubbings. Did your DVD have samples? Don’t forget that you can rope-dub with any thread, but the mono is easiest to learn on. Just make sure you anchor it well before and after you dub. And don’t overwrap the dubbing with thread. The one big sales difference now is I’m using a downloadable version video, not a hard DVD. It’s $30 with no shipping cost or wait time. I used to put a bunch of sample flies inside the DVD case, but now I mail the samples to the buyer if they request it, which they normally do. So overall it’s cheaper and faster. I’m hoping to recover enough use of my right hand that I can follow up with more downloadable DVDs. I’ve been re-doing my fly room for months, so now I get to focus on output. Anyone up for a mouse and deer-hair fly DVD?

I have re-watched my rope dub videos lately by Don O and have been practicing the technique for this swap and noticed at least one advantage to rope dubbing. The trick is to use mono as the thread/rope core. Number one reason is that you never have to swap thread colors as clear mono blend into any color material. Number two at least for me is that the 2 pound mono I use seems to be stronger than 6/0 thread. And mono being more slippery that most any thread it seems to get the dubbing material to spin around the “thread” to make the dubbing “rope” a little easier, overall. Lastly, If you don’t have a copy of Don’s rope dub videos It should b in your DVD collection IMHO. He makes it so easy to follow along that even I learned it LOL. And NO, he didn’t ask me to post this or anything like that. In fact, you’d have to ask him if he even has any more available I just think that any “tool” in your tying arsenal would help you tie better, quicker, and stronger, not to mention stronger as many, many insects in the world have naturally segmented bodies and the rope dub method makes that look more easily obtainable. Tr him here to see if he has more and to order your copy if possible. <https://fantasyfliesblog.wordpress.com/rope-dubbing-dvd-1/> https://fantasyfliesblog.wordpress.com/rope-dubbing-dvd-1/ -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

Re: [VFB] Rope dubbing advantage-Chuck
Rope dubbing advantageChuck, Thanks for the review. Great of you. It’ll get even better with practice on different dubbings. Did your DVD have samples? Don’t forget that you can rope-dub with any thread, but the mono is easiest to learn on. Just make sure you anchor it well before and after you dub. And don’t overwrap the dubbing with thread. The one big sales difference now is I’m using a downloadable version video, not a hard DVD. It’s $30 with no shipping cost or wait time. I used to put a bunch of sample flies inside the DVD case, but now I mail the samples to the buyer if they request it, which they normally do. So overall it’s cheaper and faster. I’m hoping to recover enough use of my right hand that I can follow up with more downloadable DVDs. I’ve been re-doing my fly room for months, so now I get to focus on output. Anyone up for a mouse and deer-hair fly DVD? Cheers, Don From: Chuck Alexander Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2019 6:56 PM To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Subject: [VFB] Rope dubbing advantage Don: And everybody. I have re-watched my rope dub videos lately by Don O and have been practicing the technique for this swap and noticed at least one advantage to rope dubbing. The trick is to use mono as the thread/rope core. Number one reason is that you never have to swap thread colors as clear mono blend into any color material. Number two at least for me is that the 2 pound mono I use seems to be stronger than 6/0 thread. And mono being more slippery that most any thread it seems to get the dubbing material to spin around the “thread” to make the dubbing “rope” a little easier, overall. Lastly, If you don’t have a copy of Don’s rope dub videos It should b in your DVD collection IMHO. He makes it so easy to follow along that even I learned it LOL. And NO, he didn’t ask me to post this or anything like that. In fact, you’d have to ask him if he even has any more available I just think that any “tool” in your tying arsenal would help you tie better, quicker, and stronger, not to mention stronger as many, many insects in the world have naturally segmented bodies and the rope dub method makes that look more easily obtainable.

Re: [VFB] Pink Squirrel Nymph Swap-Swp info- one extra?
Hi Tony, nice to hear from you. I figured you were busy with health issues and silent because you didn’t need another swap to stress you out. So sorry about that. Thanks for the info and for being around for us. Sure hope you’ve gotten ahead of this new problem in time. Will keep you in my prayers. I can maybe send you a group of extra PSQN flies if that would work for you. I’ll bet the guys won’t have a problem tying one more for you. Eh Guys, 19 instead of 18? One for the Tiger?

Wish I was able to do it. Right now I am too tied up with doctors. Have therapists and nurses that are here every day of the week for therapy and to bandage wounds that have now appeared on my other foot. That is the same as started on my left foot that lead to amputation. Arkansas Tony On Saturday, January 26, 2019, 3:32:40 PM CST, Chuck Alexander wrote: Don: Look at bright side.

Re: [VFB] Pink Squirrel Nymph Swap- Final Swapper List etc.
Don O, I am leaving for a road trip in 2 weeks, and will be gone for a while. I will not have tying stuff with me. So I will tie my flies by then. I will either mail them out by then or can do that on the road. Just give us the address to mail the flies. I went to the NJ show yesterday and made sure I have enough of what I need to tie these psns.

Does anyone have a cut-off point, how many tiers max? (The PSQN is a simple pattern, so tying a few extra should do your arsenal well.) I’m still working on holding on to a fly rod without being able to feel it in my hand. Good side of that- cheap fly rods ‘feel’ just like high dollar ones. I’m going to make a lanyard to attach the rod handle butt end to my wrist. Tiers: (as of 1/19 am) 1. Rick Zieger 2. Allan Fish 3. Neville Gosling 4. Chuck Alexander (are you still doing WW charity auctions?) 5. Don Ordes 6. Renr Zillman 7. Gary Webb *1 8. J Balmer 9. 10. *1 I did that ‘drinks’ swap (I may have had a helper- hard to remember details of events). I’ll see if I can pull them out of my swap collection box, locate your PSQN, post a photo. I tied a Cherry Fizz, which was a giant red salmon egg with a fuse (for explosive strikes). Thanks Gary for the walk down memory lane. (I may be down to a cane pole while sitting on a lawn chair on a dock, Tenkara-styling it. But a PSQN would be a good choice then.) *2. I was thinking a light jig-style hook pattern for deeper water, too. (Tenkara approach) A dark pink or red bead could also serve as the yolk of a hot pink egg collar.

I found an interesting fly on the internet that would be a good candidate for a swap. It’s called a Pink Squirrel Nymph. Many of you are aware of it and have probably fished it. If you have fished it, a story can be added. Even crawfish like this pattern! Ye Rooles: (for IOFFers) 1. Role call for who’s still here- swapping or not. 2. List of those interested in swapping this easy and much-liked pattern. 3. Lots of photos on a search of images 4. Broad range of quarry fish 5.

Gray body (your choice of dubbing), pink collar (any material suited for a collar per the photo archives) 8. Gold or silver bead 9.

[VFB] Spikey dubbing samples for PSQN- Jack
Jack, These samples of rope-dubbed fly bodies are tied with a mixture of squirrel and spikey hare’s mask (ears) dubbing. On the real samples, the segmentation stands out a lot more because of lighting. Does the pattern call for dubbing this spikey? It also looks like the tail fibers of twisted pearl mylar flash are basic to the pattern. (not shown) Do you have an official pattern recipe to include with the swap info? Also, do you have the official background story of the crawfish caught on one? (my intro post) THANKS!

I’m still working on holding on to a fly rod without being able to feel it in my hand. Good side of that- cheap fly rods ‘feel’ just like high dollar ones.

Chuck Alexander (are you still doing WW charity auctions?)5. Don Ordes6. Renr Zillman7. Gary Webb *18. J Balmer9.10. *1 I did that ‘drinks’ swap (I may have had a helper- hard to remember details of events). I’ll see if I can pull them out of my swap collection box, locate your PSQN, post a photo. I tied a Cherry Fizz, which was a giant red salmon egg with a fuse (for explosive strikes). Thanks Gary for the walk down memory lane. (I may be down to a cane pole while sitting on a lawn chair on a dock, Tenkara-styling it. But a PSQN would be a good choice then.) *2. I was thinking a light jig-style hook pattern for deeper water, too. (Tenkara approach) A dark pink or red bead could also serve as the yolk of a hot pink egg collar.

I found an interesting fly on the internet that would be a good candidate for a swap. It’s called a Pink Squirrel Nymph. Many of you are aware of it and have probably fished it. If you have fished it, a story can be added. Even crawfish like this pattern! Ye Rooles: (for IOFFers) 1. Role call for who’s still here- swapping or not.2. List of those interested in swapping this easy and much-liked pattern.3. Lots of photos on a search of images4. Broad range of quarry fish5. Very east tie, easily adaptable to rope-dubbing if you choose 6. Size 16 – 8 all one size or varied, style hook can vary7. Gray body (your choice of dubbing), pink collar (any material suited for a collar per the photo archives)8. Gold or silver bead9. Any customization in keeping with the basic pattern 10 Number of swappers to dictate size of swap11. Standard swap rules apply: toe tags, return SASE (some sort of pkg.) or Cash for return of flies. Recipes not needed unless you did something special. (Story?) Any extra flies will be donated to good charity. Will post a photo of all designs. Google images should pick it up. All comments welcome. Easy tie, great fly (famous even), lots of variations with a common theme. Any VFB swappers left? Will give it a couple of weeks for distance lurkers to check in. Maybe we’ll have a good-ol’ days VFB Swap. Cheers,DonO -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

[VFB] BobH: Sign-up list update 1-- 1st Swap, 2019 - Pink Squirrel Nymph
Hi Bob, zbinawhile, great to hear from you. Below is what I’ve posted so far with a list of who’s signed up. As I’ve done in the past, I intend to ‘judge’ them and reward a Fantasy Fly to the best of swap tier. (new news) Room for 6 more swappers. Will finalize the details (pretty standard) when the swap is full. Tiers: (re-updated as of 1/19 am) 1. Rick Zieger 2. Allan Fish 3. Neville Gosling 4. Chuck Alexander (are you still doing WW charity auctions?) 5. Don Ordes 6. Renr Zillman 7. Gary Webb *1 8. J Balmer 9. Ron Boutin 10. Alan Di Somma 11. Mel Hocken 12. Jack Harford 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. *1 I did that ‘drinks’ swap (I may have had a helper (yes)- hard to remember details of events). I’ll see if I can pull them out of my swap collection box, locate your PSQN, post a photo. I tied a Cherry Fizz, which was a giant red salmon egg with a fuse (for explosive strikes). Thanks Gary for the walk down memory lane. (I may be down to a cane pole while sitting on a lawn chair on a dock, Tenkara-styling it. But a PSQN would be a good choice then.) *2. I was thinking a light jig-style hook pattern for deeper water, too. (Tenkara approach) A dark pink or red bead could also serve as the yolk of a hot pink egg collar. Swap details: I am still in stroke recovery, but able to do more all the time- just need to keep my energy up. I found an interesting fly on the internet that would be a good candidate for a swap.
