Jeff, Great news about Andy. I'll bet you'll be real happy to see him back for good.
I know that when you were here, it was a quickky tour, and you got to see a little of everything. But once you see this DVD, you'll see a big part of the extent of the technique. That Adams was just the snow on the tip of the iceberg. You'll have a great time with this DVD.

I just got off the phone with him and he gets back from the sandbox for the end of this tour in 27 days. He's quite a bit taller and stronger than when you saw him last. We're all looking forward to getting some fishing in. I did want to tell you that I teach the rope dub method to our novice tying class that our club puts on and also refer them to Byard's site for the instruction. This DVD should help us do a better job with the learning curve for beginners and with veteran tyers thinking about what fun materials they can dub with. --- On Thu, 4/16/09, DonO <[email protected]> wrote: > From: DonO <[email protected]> > Subject: [VFB] Re: DVD is here > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, April 16, 2009, 1:47 PM > Mike, > I've created a DVD Order folder and am putting all > emails of those > interested and of those ordering into it. > > Like I mentioned before, VFB'ers get a 25%+/- discount. > I'm waiting for > Jack Dennis to view the DVD and get his comments, one of > which will be > pricing suggestions. > > Since the rope-dub is a technique, not a pattern or recipe, > the applications > will be literally for thousands of patterns, both old ones > up-graded with > the rope-dub and new ones designed based on the > rope-dub's capabilities. > The bottom line, of course, is fishability.
