I have a couple dozen spools of the Gudebrod wrapping thread. I know I
have, I guess it would be Garnet and probably the Candy Apple red. It's a
bright red. Not much left on the spool though. Going back to the Chili Pepper,
I've had better luck with it for warm water species. I've caught more trout on
the White River Demon. Tied in smaller sizes, 16, 18 and 20, usually fished as
a dropper under a larger dry fly.

Hi Tony:
The original number is 326 scarlet. The two spools that I purchased on eBay
are marked #396 and I don’t think that is a Gudebrod number. The red does not
quite match and I suspect the seller has respooled from a bulk spool of another
brand. I still have an old Gudebrod colour chart from about 1986 that lists 2
other red colours being #355 Candy Apple Red and #206 Garnet. I suspect I have
been scammed but at least I have 2x 100 yard spools of red for future builds. I
never though that 1 rod would use more than 100 yards of thread but there was
quite a bit of wastage as the intermediate wraps were only 4 or 5 turns and
just handling the section they woud come undone if not varnished.

Nev, Do you have a number for that thread. I might have it in my Gudebrod
stash of wrapping thread. I will have to wait till I can get a friend to come
by to check for me, not able to go down stairs yet

Hi Chuck
I needed a specific brand, size and colour as I had already used up the first
100yd spool and needed another to finish the rod. Since I started with a
certain red numbered colour by Gudebrod, I had to get some of the same size,
brand and colour. Gudebrod closed down around 8 years or so ago Due to the
scarcity of this puduct, I only found 2 sellers with the colour/size that I
wanted. They were offering old stock and one of them was so old that the spools
in question were wooden. The thicker sizes were available in limited quantity
but not the “A” that I needed. The rod that I was restoring for a friend is a
1938 Hardy Gold Medal - 4 pieces including 2 tips and intermediate wraps every
inch or so. By the time I had finished there were 171 thread wraps including
the splint end ferrules and guides.

Subject: Re: [VFB] VFB & Gudebrod Hi Chuck: Thanks for the
offer, but it is the rod wrapping thread in size A that I wanted and I have now
got it albeit at a steep price. I did buy a fairly large amount of Gudebrod fly
tying thread on ebay after they went out of business in primarily 8/0 and 10/0
with some 6/0 and 3/0 in limited colours. Thanks again but I am well stocked in
fly tying threads. Neville (Nev) Gosling On Nov 13,

Nev: Do you need some Guderbrod thread?? Let me know as I have a lot of
it, but I mostly use Danville Fly master plus these days. I have about 15
spools of Guderbrod I’lll give you a good deal on (FREE LOL) if you email me at
[email protected] with your address. I even have a new spool of
that Guderbrod scarlet color in 3/0. The other color range from black to white
and every color in between. Some are on reg sized spools, while others are on
the wide skinny spools and in 3/0, 6,0, and 8/0 in size. I can do that as I
have enough thread to last two lifetimes, but like I said, I have gotten used
to the Danville’s. Chuck From: [email protected]

Hi Nev,
so true, the list has slowed down a lot.
However, it is also our responsibility to revive it a bit.
My fishing was slow this year for known reasons. One of my grandkids took me
out for fishing. Well, this 4 year old asked my a couple of time, if we
shouldn't go out and catch some fish. That's more precise. He is now eager to
ty some flies with me.
Tying season is ahead of us, so I'll intend to stock my boxes with my hoppers,
the blue (parachute) beetle and some EHCs.
However, I'm wondering if I shouldn't add something new to my arsenal. For
trout. Suggestions?

No wonder this site is not getting much traffic. I just did a search for
"The Virtual Flybox” and every virtual or non-vitual flbox is there except VFB.
There is a virtual flybox in Colorado with the same name but nary a word about
us. Maybe I should have searched for "Byard Miller’s Virtual Flybox".
Unfortunantly, since Byard lost interest in maintianing the site, we seem to
have slipped to the bottom of the list or even right off! It it little wonder
that we get little interest from newcomers. It really is a shame.
Changing the subject, does anyone know or remember when thread maker Gudebrod
went out of business after losing a conract to supply dental floss which it
seems was keeping the company going. I lose track of time but it must have at
least 5 or more years ago. I recently restored a Hardy split-cane rod and used
a new spool of red Gudebrod thread that I had but I ran out before finishing
the rod and had to pay a small fortune for 2x100 yard spools of scarlet thread
to finish the job and repace what I had used. Neville (Nev)
