BrianThose aren't my flies. She ties some beautiful flies though. I just tied my first Jock Scott Monday. All this salmon fly talk inspired me and I have to say I surprised myself. It turned out awesome. I have to play around with these some more. I took the summer off swaps to practice on my Classic salmon flies. It was my goal to tie this by the end of the summer. I thought I would have to go and get some more help from Ron A to tie this one but I was just in the right frame of mind to tackle it that day. I would still like to sit down with him or Charlie again and tie another one. My brain get boggled with how much I can learn from them in one day.Deb----- Original Message -----From: Brian Van EremSent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 5:38 PMSubject: Re: Fw: [VFB] Golden pheasant crest feathersDeb,Fingers are good temperature sensors! The tea kettle is what I've seen damage crests.Also, Woolite is a must for bringing out the vibrant gold hues and shine. Nothing in the world compares to a clean straight crest.Are those your flies periodically on Ebay?BrianI was taught this by Ron Alcott and I haven't damaged any feathers yet. I use a pot of boiling water on the stove for steam and just waive the feathers through it. He used tweezers I usually use my fingers to hold the feathers. That's a good gauge for me if it is getting too hot. It does a beautiful job of cleaning them.Deb----- Original Message -----From: Brian Van EremSent: Monday, June 30, 2003 9:19 PMSubject: Re: [VFB] Golden pheasant crest feathersBe VERY careful with steam!!! I don't like to use it at all if I can help it, it will damage the delicate fibers on GP crests.Brian
