Hello Keith. Great to see your name on my screen again. I joined VFB right at the end of the 2nd 100 Caddis swap. I guess you could call me one of the Old Timers. More likely an Old Fart. I remember thinking that I was glad I was not the SwapMeister sorting 10,000 flys. On Wed, Apr 19, 2023

Chuck, Susan and I share your loss. Within the last year and a half we had our two Springers Tess and Toby die of cancer. They both were nearly 14 when they died. Lots of pawprint memories. Gary On Sun, Apr 13, 2014 at 12:22 AM, Chuck Alexander chuckalexan...@centurylink.net wrote:

Re: [VFB] I need step by step instructions to tie this fly

It wasn't me. For the eyes I like to use the plastic bead chain you can get from Hobby Lobby and other crafty places. The foam cylinder will provide more floatation. On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 11:40 PM, Chuck Alexander chuckalexan...@centurylink.net wrote: Folks: I found this awesome

Re: [VFB] RE: thread diameters

If we could just have a thread that is finer than a human hair and stronger than a steel cable I think the threads we now have available are excellent. Fingers (sense of touch) are a great way to measure. You can feel the difference in thickness between one and two pieces of cigarette paper.

Chuck, A couple of years ago, I could have supplied you with some black squirrel tails. When we first moved into this house the squirrels in our backyard were evenly split between the black variant and the normal gray. But I haven't seen a black one for over a year. If one shows up I'll get my
