Chuck,
There are no dumb questions when you don't know the answer.
You have coma a long way in tying.

Perhaps I am out of line here, but I think that it is not the volume of
traffic but the quality that makes this group so special. I also am
impressed with the wide variety of tying skills for different patterns that
we can use as a resource on this net. So, thanks to all who have been so
helpful
Depends on what customs office they hit. I wouldn't mislabel a package
in today's climate. So when some inspectors see artificial fishing
flies, they feel obligated to open the package and check for possible
CITES violations. If they find a feather they'll request proper
certification from the
I prefer the current format of VFB. I've tried forums (fori?) and
didn't really like the format.
But, as the old saying goes, I'm no longer a youngster, although I
hate to admit it.

Why is it that most times when I've planned to go
fishing the wind is blowing 30 mph and the lake is
white-capping,but when I can't go fishing, for various
reasons, there's not a breath of air stirring.

I've been able to get flies overseas in my bank check-boxes by labeling them
'gifts' or 'craft supplies' - value $10.
Another reason I like the check boxes is that I can send almost* any type of
big fly-
mice, deer-hair flies, big sculpins, poppers, also dries-without crushing
the hackles.
I belong to three (3) forums. Neither of the 3 get much use, and they have
just as many problems as the VFB. BTW, the Virtual Fly Box website
appears to have been removed.
However, the Lines End Online Fly Shop is still operational at:

Joe, last time I paid VFB dues was in Feb. 2009. Rick used to remind us, but
he hasn't done that in a couple of years now. Also, the VFB website is gone.
the dues we paid were primarily to help defray the Server expense, plus a
little for Byard as VFB Webmaster. As for me, I won't be

Rick,
You need my new 'Buggs' electric heat-traced fly-line' © T- battery operated.
LOL
Stays warm on cold winter days, and on 'Hi' will melt through the ice (if given
time).
Cranking the reel handle recharges the batteries.
Use ice-dubbed flies or polar hair.

Rick:
In order to get it to penetrate the ice you must strip out about 50' and pull
it between your legs real fast to get it hot and then quickly pick it up and
cast it out while it is still hot.
Only other way is to carry a cigarette lighter and heat it up first...LOL

I believe that one of the reasons I get my flies through customs with no

the fly. The customs people know at a glance if there are any Cites

I agree, Ive had little problem with customs, my problem is having flies stolen
by the post office, usually the British post office.
