As civilization, cement pavements, office buildings and radio
have overwhelmed us, the need for regeneration has increased.
Fishing is a sound, vital reason to go away from here to somewhere else.

Chicks trying to look chique. But, like Tony said, just a waste of time and
tying material.

Hi All;
I was splitting wood last weekend and ran across a really neat looking piece of
burled Oak. I got to thinking it would make a grreat reel seat.
Anyone know how to quickly dry wood for turning??
microwave???
Thanks in advance

Kiln. Microwave just excites any liquid in the wood, causing it to heat
expand, no drying involved. Depending on the moisture content, you might get
a nice explosion though.

Cut and rough-turn it wet, then air-dry or put it in a vacuum with silica gel
for quicker drying. Reducing the dimensions of the wet wood will significantly
shorten the drying time and decrease the hazard of crack formation.
Drying WILL warp the wood, so be sure to rough turn to dimensions that
Cut up in 1 lengths and put them in the intake of your heating system but if
you are splitting wood, you might just be heating with a wood stove and have no
intake. On the oak if it is not White Oak, it will turn black when wet. How do
I know, well.

Hi All;
Thanks for the info, a little background, tried drying the wood first by
putting in microwave for 1 minute increments. It did remove a lot of water,
water was weeping out of wood and completely saturated inside walls of micrwave
with moisture. Stunk up the whole house something
Hi List,
for Peggy's swap, someone asked about what catskill flies are. I found
this page on faol:
http://flyanglersonline.com/features/oldflies/part359.php
Some very interesting things:
* The flies are tied by Elsie Darbee, look at the proportions! The
hackles are oversized.

Some very interesting things:
Flies have no wings
Some don't, most of them do. Mainly wood duck upright and divided.

According to some, Catskill dry flies are either tied in the style of, or
specifically for the Catskill River. The Darbees, Dettes etc allegedly tied
in the style of Rube Cross. I wasn't there so I'll go w/ whatever you all
decide. I've seen Catskill dries tied w/ w/out a wing, w/ various
Peggy,
1. Can a Catshill fly be tied with Wingers for the wings? I've seen some
patterns on the web where they used feather tips that were more fan-shaped, and
the Wingers look better.
2. Is it OK to rope-dub the body with soft segments, rather than the smooth
dubbed bodies I see in the
Good site, Rene,
What I noticed right off is fly proportions. The hooks are short shank and the
hackles are easily twice as long as the hook gap, which is greater that the
suggested 1.5x the gap.
I realize that hackles back then were neck hackles almost exclusively, and the
feather shanks
I like oak when it is flame finished to bring out the grain. Not for
everything, but it is a neat effect- kinda like zebrawood.
