I have it and it is OK, not spectacular and I would not buy it again. You can get the same information on the internet free of charge. Of course, he only talks about furled flies and after you learn the technique, all the flies look the same, just different colors of furled thread tails. Don't

Joyce, that info helps out a lot. 1. I saw the photos of what he was doing and you seem right on. Just extended furled fiber-tails with lots of different flies applied. Once anyone gets the rope dub down pat, the furling is another open door to some cool applications, not just another tail

Don, I accuse Dave of having stock in Zap A Gap. Got a couple of sample bottles from him at the Smallmouth show in Oklahoma last May. I have been told he will be at the Sowbug in March. Tony --- On Mon, 1/18/10, Don Ordes f...@tribcsp.com wrote: From: Don Ordes f...@tribcsp.com Subject: Re:

Tony, Is that an 'LOL'? If that is so, is it a 'conflict of interest' to be hawking/selling it as a stockholder? How does it work? If I bought stock in Whiting, Flex-O, Mc Flyfoam, etc., can I still hawk their products? DonO - Original Message - From: Anthony Spezio To:

Dick Telaur has a presentation he is is doing at the Fly Fishing Shows and clubs this year, and he says Dave is distributor for Pace, the maker of Zap A Gap. They make lots of adhesives for industry as well. It has lots of flies with a hit of Zap on each. I'm not sure what deal Dick has is,

I don't know, Tony, Peggy... When you have a schtik like that, you could get sticky fingers. So are Dick and Dave bonding now? I heard it was slow starting, but they stuck it out. Should I become an adherent of CAs also? I'll 'tie' a fly without thread, that is all glued together. What to call
