Like the CO-OP swap, the meister buys the pelt, photos it, and cuts it up to divide amongst the swappers, who send in their share + SH. Buys range from dirt-cheap to taxidermy quality, many animals listed (dubbing quality critters), and 3 pieces would be enough dubbing to last a very long time. The numbers can be set by the meister and swappers. (If you want half a pelt, find one more swapper.) But a simple swap could go like this: (Just a suggestion of an easy typical swap) So you'd get a chunk of tail, some dense back, off-color thinner belly. #1 2 swappers would want the mask for bushy flies. There are hundreds of selections, so there could be many swaps. Just a thought- one ore way to use the VFB for buying power.

Like, how do you get all the materials tied into (or onto LOL) a Royal Wolff)??I have been reading as much as I can about bluegill fly fishing and fly tying,.and I was just reading about tying foam ants, and it said NOT to tie bluegill flies too small as the bluegill has a strong sucking power for insects that drop onto the surface of the water and they'd even take a size 28 in a foam ant and would hurt themselves as they'd swallow a fly that small all the way down their throat. So, it said to go to a bigger fly. like a size 18 or a 20. Well, I can barely even see a size 18 or 20 hook, even with my reading glasses on, much less tie a fly on one. Does anybody here tie flies regularly in a size 18 or smaller??? If so, what is your secret?? Thanks, Chuck -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] blending dubbing
Another method is to place your dubbing material in a sandwich bag. Then get a can of pressurized computer cleaner. Push the tube into the opening of the bag. Give the material a blast. It really does a good , fast job of blending dubbing.

I just don't pre-blend a lot of dubbings- this was a special case. I make 'quick-blends' for the rope-dub for color variations, mottling, and graduations from light to dark, and I do those right on the core-material when I start the rope. On this occasion, the water blend was quick and easy and not messy at all, and I didn't have to find any brushes, so it took only about 5 minutes. The damp natural fur dubbing was something I wanted to try to rope with, so I got that in the bargain. Wet chinchilla is next on the list, then wet syn-seal. I'm thinking the chinchilla will make the perfect sowbug if I can get the segments tight enough, and the dampness may be the key. (Like some tiers steam their deer-hair before they pack it.) So, maybe for some things, the brush method is great- especially larger quantities for matching flies. But I'm always slow to discard something before I check out all of the possibilities. (I've learned that through 35 years of engineering.) I like the water-blend method and have some ideas and experimentation to do with damp dubbing. I'll even try the conditioner idea, but I don't think the rope-dub will care once the dubbing is damp, or even wet. h more ideas coming in. One thing I'm thinking of is that the wet-blend method will also tell me what natural furs I have that are naturally waterproof, and I'll make dry-fly blends with those. What about some natural oil, like preen-gland oil, added to the mix to make a dry-fly dubbing (instead of the conditioner)? We do have some doggie brushes upstairs, and a Shitzu and a calico cat. Next brushing will yeild some dubbings and I'll also try it your way with the brushes. I don't know what the old-fashioned wool cards are, though. So I'm not discarding your suggestion, as it's a good one. That's why you didn't rain on my parade. You just added another float to it. And so my parade got longer, and only my dubbing got wet. ;o) Don - Original Message - From: Joyce Westphal To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 7:40 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] blending dubbing forgot to mention that you go to Wal mart or wherever and get two of those wire bristled kitty or doggie brushes.

Take your yarn, synthetics and put that with pinches of the flash, hair, whatever you want to mix on one brush. Rub the other brush against it, like old fashioned wool cards. It takes a few minutes of rubbing the dubbing makings back and forth between the brushes, and voila! perfect dubbing ready to use. Surely beats the water method and the mess that brings. I'd never go back to the messy, sloppy water method. Don't mean to rain on your parade, but this way is SO much easier and simpler.

Beats getting dubbing in my espresso via my coffee grinder. I found one hit on the internnet so it is not novel, but I also don't think it is as common as the coffee grinder method. I needed to blend some rabbit-dubbing with some ice-dub, flash dub, quick descent. I needed a good blend and no lumps in the blend. So I filled up a tupperware dish about the size of a coffee-cup with hot tap-water. I added the rabbit dubbing and then chopped up the other 3 dubbings over the container. I stirred until everything broke up and was a well blended soup, than I drained almost all of the water out, leaving the dubbing. I stirred it one more time to make sure the quick-descent was mixed in, then I poured it all out through a paper towel to strain it and then used the paper towel to soak up all of the extra water. The result was a damp glob of well-blended hilited part-natural dubbing. Working with it damp gave me a very tight well-defined segment. But I'm letting the rest dry so I can fluff it a bit and tie some fuzzy hares ears that have cool colors mixed in with the rabbit. These colors will accentuate the segments more and give the fly some flash in place of the
