The romance of fly fishing lies as much in the beauty of a mountain stream,
and
the ultimate catch as it does in the art of trout and salmon fishing equipment.

I do want to say THANKS to my family here on the list and for all the

--- On Fri,
I can certainly understand the 'taking more out of me than expected' statement.
I had surgery this summer, and I am still recovering from it.
I know you are only able to be at the computer for short times, so I just want
to let you know that I am glad to see you back, and on the road to
I've got enough dubbing to last me until I die so this is one swap
I'd not be interested in. Thanks. Joyce
And I've got enough to last several of us, so I'm in agreement with Joyce.

I think you guys might be missing the point.
This swap is for those who:
a.. Need more of a specific animal for dubbing and want an amount at a better
price
b.. Can't find a specific animal at on-line sources or local fly-shops
c.. Want to try out a new critter for dubbing, such as a
Now there's an idea, Bob. My wife is trying to get me to sell some mine off!
a.. Figure out what you don't need of your own stock and see if a meister
will trade out your unwanted dubbings for a portion of the new pelt.
b.. Build your dubbing diversity with only SH expense
c.. Example:
I am not interested in a lot of dubbing, certainly whole pelts. I don't do
that much dubbing, especially of one color. Small patches of several basic
colors sounds more reasonable, and likely that I would/could be interested in.
If it happened that someone were to meister a swap which would
I don't know who named them, but after eating a few pinfish when I was
stationed in FL, I know why they are called pinfish... They have more bones
that a danged archeologist LOL. And especially the little pin bones that will
lodge in your throat and make everybody around you think you are
I think the slickness of the guides, and the shape of the guides on the
regular eyes that have the (usually plastic) inserts, if those are oval,
round etc, I would think that would speed up, or slow down a line. My 1 1/2
cents worth, Chuck

If anybody decides to meister an NZ/Aussie possum swap, let me know please. Or
if you wanted to get some possum and chinchilla both, because I have tried a
tiny patch of the chinchilla (I think I got it from Don O in fact), and it made
great dubbing..I just don't seem to be a good meister on
That would be great if Bob (or anybody on the list) had a few different pelts
they wanted to sell, and we could sign up in a swap, then Bob (or whoever)
could meister it and probably end up with a much higher overall price for their
pelts that had they sold them each to one person. Think about
Me too. If Bob, or somebody had a lot of extra, they could make up grab
bags for example (there might not even be the EXACT type pelts in ALL the
bags, depending on how much he (or whoever) had, and then we who were in the
swap but don't really dub a whole lot, Like Larry and myself here,
hi guys and gal who needs some auz possum R sent me some awhile back

This is off-topic, so if you want to kick me out...do so.
I would appreciate prayers for my daughter, Penny Abell.
She's going in for an MRI on Thursday to see if her brain
tumor is beginning to recur or if the chemo is keeping
it in remission.
Thanks.

If double hauling is your thing and you need to reach way out and shoot
line, then the slickness of the guides will dramatically help your cast. Buy
the very best ceramic inserts you can buy. Don't buy the cheap knock offs,
buy Fuji and do all the guides, the stripper, and the tip top. Begin each
