Re: [VFB] V rib?

[mark romero]

Jerry, i bought that book from Robert Spaight in '97 at Somerset, (THE 
biggest fly fishing show in the country in N.J.) and it is a great book. He 
was here just a couple months ago too, doing research for another book. He 
got a 19 inch rainbow about 150 yrds downstream from just off our property, 
a spot i fish all the time. He comes all the way from England and gets a 
bigger fish than i ever have there. LMAO. He's a really nice guy. You gotta 
make Somerset someday. mark......

Check your library for the book "International Guide to Fly-Tying 
Materials" by Clarke and Spaight.  It lists all kinds of fly tying 
materials and sometimes their substitutes.  If you buy one be sure to check 
the printing date for a recent copy.

For the Rib, he suggests:
"Any brown rib--dyed monofilament, Swannendaze (thin), or dubbed thread as 
examples -- but my favorite is V rib."

Well... I understand dubbed thread and dyed monofilament, but what the 
heck is Swannendaze and V rib?

Notice I'm not shy posting the idiot questions... :)
