Chuck, If using the dental loops, stick the tail end through the bottom of the bobbin, don't go through the top end.

Re: [VFB] Re: Good fly (so far) on the Guadalupe.
Sean, I am not trying to upstage you on this and yes, it has been tyed for many years. It is called the one Marabou Plume fly. I have been teaching it in my beginner classes. It is a simple and easy fly to tie and the students are happy that they got to tie a fly. On the Creek and the White river, Burnt Orange seems to work the best. Next best color is Florescent Green.

Re: [VFB] Re: Good fly (so far) on the Guadalupe.
Sean. You are not being cheap, just frugal like me. I tied for the shops and the resorts for four years and learned how not to waste materials. I can go into some of the ways I save on materials but am pressed for time right now. I might do it later. As long as we are talking about wire, I use it right off the spool. Start wrapping it and when I have enough on the hook, just give it a pull and it breaks off at the hook shank. No waste.

I actually don't use it all that often. It was included in a tying kit I bought about 7 or 8 years ago, and I'm still using the same spool of lead.

Re: [VFB] Re: Good fly (so far) on the Guadalupe.
You have to be. I was getting myself up a TINY order of a few things I need. that I will order the first of May . Few spools of thread, some CDC feathers, cpl cards of chenille for PPP's and Chili Peppers, an el cheapo bobbin threader (I have been making my own from 6 pound mono and a 1/4 dowel piece and crimping it, but it just don't work as well as the steel wire ones, and I lost mine. (The lost one will turn up the day after the new one arrives LOL), some turkey flats .Three spools of lead wire, three packs of dumb bell eyes, three packs of stick on eyes, and some goose biots One pack of strung marabou I think and just a cpl other items and it was $50 plus shipping. - Original Message - From: Anthony Spezio To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 5:21 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Re: Good fly (so far) on the Guadalupe.
