I love your flies. I have used the ones you gave me at Sowbug a few years ago. 
I’d love the idea of a mini swap.

Subject: Re: [VFB] VFB & Gudebrod

Hi Chuck

I needed a specific brand, size and colour as I had already used up the first 
100yd spool and needed another to finish the rod. Since I started with a 
certain red numbered colour by Gudebrod, I had to get some of the same size, 
brand and colour. Gudebrod closed down around 8 years or so ago Due to the 
scarcity of this puduct, I only found 2 sellers with the colour/size that I 
wanted. They were offering old stock and one of them was so old that the spools 
in question were wooden. The thicker sizes were available in limited quantity 
but not the “A” that I needed. The rod that I was restoring for a friend is a 
1938 Hardy Gold Medal - 4 pieces including 2 tips and intermediate wraps every 
inch or so. By the time I had finished there were 171 thread wraps including 
the splint end ferrules and guides.

Hi Chuck:

Thanks for the offer, but it is the rod wrapping thread in size A that I wanted 
and I have now got it albeit at a steep price. I did buy a fairly large amount 
of Gudebrod fly tying thread on ebay after they went out of business in 
primarily 8/0 and 10/0 with some 6/0 and 3/0 in limited colours. Thanks again 
but I am well stocked in fly tying threads.

Re: [VFB] VFB & Gudebrod

2019-11-13 Thread Gary Webb

I used to tie with Gudebrod partly because their thread was very good.  And
partly because they had partnered with Gary Borger and numbered their
threads according to his color system.  I have
his booklet with all the colors in it.  Makes it easy to match an insect's
color with his system.  I think some tying materials were numbered too.
 So when Gudebrod folded their tent I was a bit disappointed.   These days
I'm not so particular about thread color for tying.  But wrapping rods
would be a different story.
I'm glad you found what you were looking for.

Re: [VFB] VFB & Gudebrod

2019-11-13 Thread Beer mit

Hi all:

It has been a while and I periodically say hi to members here. 
Since moving to Israel a year and a half ago I have fished very little as 
fishing here is nothing to be proud of. I had a bit of a fish in france a 
couple of months ago but apart from a bit of a fish with my son in the park 
lake nothing else has really happened. 
My plans include fishing the Sea of Galilee and as luck would have it, I 
spotted some rising rainbows in the Jordan river (on the Jordanian border) 
during a rafting trip. It turns out that they ended there at some point from 
fish farms in the area. Certainly not a local species. 
Being so close to Europe it is a quick and cheap.flight to Europe so I intend 
to make.my way there. I now travel alot for work (currently in Japan) so I 
intend to figure out a way to.take a compact fly rod and 'fish my way around 
the world'.

Keep safe, healthy and fishing. 

Regards,


Reuven

Hi Chuck

I needed a specific brand, size and colour as I had already used up the first 
100yd spool and needed another to finish the rod. Since I started with a 
certain red numbered colour by Gudebrod, I had to get some of the same size, 
brand and colour. Gudebrod closed down around 8 years or so ago Due to the 
scarcity of this puduct, I only found 2 sellers with the colour/size that I 
wanted. They were offering old stock and one of them was so old that the spools 
in question were wooden. The thicker sizes were available in limited quantity 
but not the “A” that I needed. The rod that I was restoring for a friend is a 
1938 Hardy Gold Medal - 4 pieces including 2 tips and intermediate wraps every 
inch or so. By the time I had finished there were 171 thread wraps including 
the splint end ferrules and guides.

Hi Tony:

The original number is 326 scarlet. The two spools that I purchased on eBay are 
marked #396 and I don’t think that is a Gudebrod number. The red does not quite 
match and I suspect the seller has respooled from a bulk spool of another 
brand. I still have an old Gudebrod colour chart from about 1986 that lists 2 
other red colours being #355 Candy Apple Red and #206 Garnet. I suspect I have 
been scammed but at least I have 2x 100 yard spools of red for future builds. I

business after losing a conract to supply dental floss which it seems was 
keeping the company going. I lose track of time but it must have at least 5 or 
more years ago. I recently restored a Hardy split-cane rod and used a new spool 
of red Gudebrod thread that I had but I ran out before finishing the rod and 
had to pay a small fortune for 2x100 yard spools of scarlet thread to finish 
the job and repace what I had used. Neville (Nev) GoslingGreater VancouverBC

My fishing was slow this year for known reasons. One of my grandkids took me 
out for fishing. Well, this 4 year old asked my a couple of time, if we 
shouldn't go out and catch some fish. That's more precise. He is now eager to 
ty some flies with me.
Tying season is ahead of us, so I'll intend to stock my boxes with my hoppers, 
the blue (parachute) beetle and some EHCs.

However, I'm wondering if I shouldn't add something new to my arsenal. For 
trout. Suggestions?

Hi Chuck:

Thanks for the offer, but it is the rod wrapping thread in size A that I wanted 
and I have now got it albeit at a steep price. I did buy a fairly large amount 
of Gudebrod fly tying thread on ebay after they went out of business in 
primarily 8/0 and 10/0 with some 6/0 and 3/0 in limited colours. Thanks again 
but I am well stocked in fly tying threads.

  Hi Nev,
 
 so true, the list has slowed down a lot.
 However, it is also our responsibility to revive it a bit.
 
 My fishing was slow this year for known reasons. One of my grandkids took me 
out for fishing. Well, this 4 year old asked my a couple of time, if we 
shouldn't go out and catch some fish. That's more precise. He is now eager to 
ty some flies with me.
 Tying season is ahead of us, so I'll intend to stock my boxes with my hoppers, 
the blue (parachute) beetle and some EHCs.
 
 However, I'm wondering if I shouldn't add something new to my arsenal. For 
trout. Suggestions?

There is a virtual flybox in Colorado with the same name but nary a word about 
us. Maybe I should have searched for "Byard Miller’s Virtual Flybox". 
Unfortunantly, since Byard lost interest in maintianing the site, we seem to 
have slipped to the bottom of the list or even right off! It it little wonder

  Changing the subject, does anyone know or remember when thread maker Gudebrod

a new spool of red Gudebrod thread that I had but I ran out before finishing 
the rod and had to pay a small fortune for 2x100 yard spools of scarlet thread 
to finish the job and repace what I had used.
