SINCE I DID IT THE 1ST TIME AROUND, I COULD MEISTER IT, APPOINT A JUDGE OR PANEL, SELECT THE WINNERS, WHO WOULD WIN A 14/0 FANTASY FLY (REAR-VIEW MIRROR HANGER), AND SECOND PLACE AGAIN WOULD BE A MOUSE.

I tried the alpaca two ways; tying in the tips & tying in the middle of the bunch. Tying in the middle was more difficult, but made for a thicker dub. Not necessarily a valid adaptation of the technique. Haven’t used other materials yet, ‘cause I’ve been busy & need to redo the flies for the swap. Looking forward to using other materials. I like the results much better than doing it the way I was, getting more consistent results & better segmenting. J FROM: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] ON BEHALF OF Don Ordes SENT: Saturday, December 12, 2009 11:12 AM TO: [email protected] SUBJECT: [VFB] Rope-dubbers respond Well, just about everyone who ordered DVDs should have them by now (two in route), and most have had at least a week to view and try out the techniques- either for the 1st time, improvement , or extension of the technique. Would like to get some comments: *Your thoughts on the DVD and ease of transition into tying- *Your first tries at rope-dubbing- *Your re-tries (re-ties) at rope-dubbing and the extensions- *Your overall opinion of the results you're getting: ease of adaptation, speed, dubbing results, fun, etc. If you're having a problem, go ahead and bring it out. Don't be shy. I spent an entire afternoon at a fly-show with a 25 year veteran professional tier/guide coaching him on getting a perfect rope-dubbed dry fly body. His problem- doing it so long one way made him want to do it the same way. DonO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
