Love your letter David. Remember those cork flies that I use
to get the cork from Bill O'Conner .Dave check out
libbymt.com and Lincoln County
,Montana and check into the streams. The Yaak area is really
a Pennsylvania experience well not really but as close as it can be and be in
Montana .There nothing like the Pennsylvania we come to love but this area is
as near as I can get and be in Montana. I need you to send me your personal
address and telephone number ...send it to my own E-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I
use to demonstrate tying at the Coudersport show. I wonder if you ever meet a
wonderful person that fly fish and tied flies who was wheel chair bound. I
spent over six hours in 1977 or 78 using my teaching method. For those eastern
green drakes ,for the body I mix very light yellow wool yarn and a little
muskrat fur ,that is a perfect mix. Ask me about my double layer dubbing
method which gives a rib effect ,and that thorax dry fly with a v on the
bottom with a palmer hackle was mind and Steve at the fly shop in
Lemont ,taught tying that thorax dry fly using my method The dubbing
material is instead of using a blend I add colors in layers ,just like the
naturals bodies really are..and are much more effective to match the insect .
A # 14 Renegade ,tied very slim ,sure was a killing fly on Slate Run. I one
time while fishing the Schrader near Wheelerville ,I found a old road
that got me into the head waters and not a building for miles I had blood
running down my arm ,figuring I got scratch from some of the bushes and I was
up stream for more then a mile ,to make it short it was my first experience
with black flies and after one will cut a hole in your skin and drink the
fresh blood another will jump in and cut a little deeper ,I had over a 130
bites that day and the fishing was great as I started back ,I would catch a
few fish at one hole run like hell to the next until they catch up with me
again ,The fishing was great and that was not all that was biting....The pools
in that area was really a favorite stream of mind.

That's a great idea, Glenn. My dad has a leather tool set from his
Boy Scouting days which includes a leather punch with various sized hole
punches. As a kid, I found this set and began to experiment and still
have a leather ring with holes 1/8" and 3/8" in it but I know there were 2
larger sizes and a total of 5 or 6 on a wheel that turned. Gotta find
that kit as it also had some single leather punches and some shape
punches. Going down in dad's basement shortly so if I don't return
soon, send out a search and rescue Rodney.

You may be able to find a set of old punches for boring
holes in cork and rubber stoppers. They are basically brass tubes
of various diameters with a T-handle at the top of the tube. The
business end is harpened (and they even make a sharpeneer for
that). I've got a set, that I just use for this purpose.
(These days in the lab, we use a powered auger that takes a similar type
of bit). You can make very similar punches from brass tubing
obtained at hobby stores. I've also bouth a set of rotary punches
off e-bay, that are supposed to mount in a drill press (less than $10,
but shipping put it about 12 or 13 I believe. Ridderbos, I believe
told me where I could get them.). Haven't used them much
since my drill press is small and only the smaller diameters will fit
it, and I just haven't taken them to a machine shop to get them truned
down so that they'll fit. So there are three
possibilities.

Bob,
I've used regular rubber cement for years. Coat both pieces
and let them begin to dry. When they are tacky to the touch, but
still a little damp, place the two pieces together under some weight
and let them dry completely.
Simple, cheap, and I have never had my foam separate in
use. -- Joe Fusco, Sr. REMEMBER CANCER IS A WORD NOT A

What
is a good foam adhesive for fly tying?
