Does anyone know where I can find ripple foam sheets other than the refill packs that Cableas has? I'm making some wooden fly boxes and need sizes other than the refills.

Jack, do I understand your furling jig is one with the pegs divided into a third of the length? I.e., the first peg on the right would be 1/3 the length, the first peg on the left would be 2/3 the...
Thanks Ron, I'll whip up some of those.
Will be in the Branson, MO area next week and plan to fish Taneycomo some. What flies would you recommend for this time of the year?
Our Texas group has had some of the experiences you speak of. I chanced upon this quotation and believe it fits this issue:
Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without...
Don't know whether this has been posted here or not, but it is an interesting site.

That was a beautiful sermon Ed. I wished more clergy felt the way you do about God's creation. I don't know where you pastor, or what denomination, but I'd sure like to hear you preach on the...
You guys are way ahead of me as I'm not a machinist. However, I do like to make tools to use. Made a neat dubbing brush winder from an old Zebco reel and a few pieces of wood. Bobbins have been made...
Jerry, congratulations. Pete's the best, and a super guy on top of that. I am fortunate to have one of his beautiful bamboo rods. If anyone is contemplating a custome built rod, they should look...
Had an email from Roger, he's okay. They are pretty well west of the storm path.
The Master Fisherman has landed another trophy keeper, no catch and release this time. Our prayers are with Al's family during this trying time.
Austinite, you definitely have an important link to your grandfather. I never knew my great grandfather, but I was given some of his tools (passed down to my grandfather, then to my father, and then...
I have a friend in the Dallas Fort Worth area that is an avid carp fisherman, and very successful I might add. He has a guide service for carp, and has given various seminars here on catching these...
Probably depends a lot on where he will be fishing. I used a guide in Colorado and although I had my own gear (waders, rod, etc) they elected to furnish everything. They had a big enough selection...
Are most of you using the continuous winding board (i.e., both legs of the leader are continuous rather than two separate legs)? I have never built one with the two separate legs, and wondered if...
Have used that Georgia recipe for the RLD and simplified it a little. We've found just wrapping the chennile on around the eyes in a criss cross makes an easier head than the dubbed head. Don't...
Thanks John. That sounds like a good method.
John, another question about your foam bugs. Do you punch a hole in the foam for the hook, or do you just slit the foam and reglue it?
Great to hear Harold. We're still beaming 'em up for you.
God bless, Gordon
A guide on Lake Fork (Texas) says he saw the first sure signs of Spring and the bass spawn in that the parking lot at the restaurant is full of cars licensed in Michigan, Wisconsin, et al.
Speaking of good eating, you know the Good Lord invented armadillos so us folks in East Texas can have possum on the half shell. LadyFisher's recipe sounds good, but how do you get that balsa wood...
Mike, I'm assuming Lake Conway is the lake on the right (or at least most of it) when you're westbound on I40 coming into Conway.
We go to Branson that route and I've always thought that would be a...
Mike, I forgot to say my friend catches them on bead head wooly buggers, etc when they tend to come to shallower water or even suspend closer to the surface in deep water. He catches lots that way...
Mike, we catch yellow bass in Caddo Lake over on the Texas-Louisiana line. Most of them are in the smaller range, but they do get a little larger. Not as large as the white bass. Back in December...
Thanks for the link. Do you use his plug cutters and if so, do you find the drilled hole in the plug is beneficial in both chucking up on the tool and in putting the body on the hook? Do you find...
