Hi Sport,
Thank you for your comment and a feedback. It is obvious that my web site does not offer much help with the learning
curve.I wrote it's :oops: text and a friend made
the photos and...

SweetStreamS your observation is correct.
The Ekich Bobbin is asymmetrical and it starts to spin of the axis that goes through the tube. It takes just a touch
by the finger on the thread just...

Hi ducksterman,
There are several Ekich bobbins in Oregon
so I can not pin point who you are.
I would like to help you go through the learning curve. Please contact me via e-mail and I will...

Ducksterman,
Yes, I make mistakes in English as I have learned it
"on the street" not in school. Also, my knowledge of computers is not adequate to help me go through the spell check here on BB....

Mike,
Polar bear guard hair is hollow and this, with translucency, is what gives the fly that flashy and attractive effect as the light breaks through it.
The underfur is one of the best dubbing...

Yes Jamie, the book is a tresure. Photos are very
clear and the binding is good. I am sure it will be a collector's item, at least here in Canada.
1600 flies covers a wide range of fishing,...

Hi Rich,
Very thoughtful of you. Jean- Guy has done a lot for fly tying fraternity. September fifth, friends from "Club of Twenty" - the fly fishers from eastern Canada, are placing his ashes in...

What a great gesture Rich! I learned few things from you.
I have some of these booklets which I send to a first time buyer of
the Ekich Bobbin. So, for those of you that did not get one, send...

Hi Ron,
Those discs(two) that Marc Madore is sending you are unedited, original work which will be made into 30 min. program by CBC about his life. Jean-Guy insisted that it is titled: " Life of a...

Fly tying fraternity has lost a great member.
If there is a fly fishing Hall of Fame,
there should be a place in it for Jean-Guy.
A new fly fishing museum is being open in Waterloo Quebec,...

Thanks Hans,

Hywel,
thank you for comment and sincere wishes.
I hope that my response did not create any hard feeling. None taken by me.

Hans,
The tension that UNI takes effort and care to control is to acheive constant stretch-
tension on all the spools. The thread comes
on a "Mother Spool" that is aprox. 250mm
in diameter...

J.C. I feel compelled to respond to Hywel's
points so if it is a conflict of interest
you can stop it in it's entirety or censor
it.
I designed the Ekich Bobbin 13 years ago.
Initially, the...

Congratulations Peter!
I will seek that book because I, too,
have a special spot in my fly box for
woolies. I tye them on the tubes.

Quadfisher,
The booklet by Paul Marriner:
"How to Choose & Use Fly-tying Thread",
is a most useful and informative material on the subject of fly tying threads and it's
use. (In my opinion...

Hi Chris,
Looking at this thread I see that most folks are finding the fees a bit high.
If I may suggest, for someone to come all the way here and not wanting to spend to much money on fishing,...

What a coincidence! This morning I was reading Paul Marriner's : Modern Atlantic Salmon Flies and just finished the chapter on Black Bear or "Butt" series hair wings.
As Paul writes:" Often, they...
