Don,
I forgot to get those flexbodies and I want to see pictures of that
bipolar fly.

Still waiting to hear from Mr. Fish and Mr. Romero about how their
rope-dubbing is coming along after personal lessons. Mark, please forget
that you heard how I create the 'eye shine' in my bugs and minnows (you can
do it for yours, just don't show or reveal it).
Denny C. gave me some good advice about teaching the rope-dub method
(Thanks, Denny- I enjoyed our conversations.). He stood behind me while I
roped a fly and noticed how I hooked the bobbin in my left hand in order to
put tension on the thread. He said just that point made a lot of
difference
to him.
Nick, I wish I knew you liked McFlyfoam. I would have shown you lots of
tips- I guarontee-u.
Tony, thanks so much for the rod-building tour. I knew there was a lot to
building bamboo rods, but now I've seen it first-hand from a master- it was
a real treat. Have you tried the rope-dub yet?
Tony, I also received a 'late' contribution for your friend Thomas Berry.
Dyna-King sent me a certificate for 30% off any vise he wants. Was he
there? I can forward it to you.
Tony, please send me Dean's home address. I'll send him the mouse I tied
in
the class-room as a 'thank-you'.
Murf- now you're learnin'. Blame that 'ol alter-ego.
Reuven- I know you weren't there, and won't be again next year unless you
bring me an EP pelt. ;o) BUT, when I got home I opened a package from Sea
World, and Shamu sent me some real penguin feathers!!! Not many, but
enough
to generate my new patterns. I revealed the new fly line to Rodney at Sow
Bug, and I'll be posting some new never-before-seen patterns soon. Stay
tuned. It'll send chills up and down your spine. (It's Demento's idea.)
