Mailed my fly today, so it's on the way.
I'm not from the States and I didn't know John personally, but I'm sorry to hear about John passing away. I was in several swaps with John and I have a fly that I would like to send to this swap -...
Great looking wraps boarmountain. Are they also finished with epoxy on your bamboo rod? What do you mean by "ghosting or silvering effect", is it a technique or is it just another name for making the...
Hello John. I think you made a good choice with your reel. I personally like orvis reels, never fished this model though, looks like good value and good looks. Would like to get one of those for...
Thanks for advice TJ, maybe I'll get my hands on a carbon blank some day, will try that, those clear wraps look really good.
Удачи!
I've tried varnish on a cane rod, never did graphite. What finish are you using? What's best solution to be used on wraps on graphite rods? Thanks
Actually I don't know if a chrome plating can be darkened with super blue or other solution. Would be great to know the results!
Hi Smernsky,
I haven't seen any nodern ferrules made of aluminium, they would crack easily. Most of them are made of nickel silver or brass, you can darken these metals with super blue or prema blue...
Congratulations on your first rod! It looks really great! You must be a happy man now when you have a finished rod in your hands. I've been gathering all the tools and materials for more than one and...
8/0 and 6/0 uni thread does break sometimes but only some of the spools. on some spools you have to apply a good bit of pressure to break the thread, on the others it breaks very easy, i don't know...

I didn't know that rabbits fur can float. Sounds interesting.
Very good, thanks for the update ol'blue!
It would also be great to see a 100% participation of all tiers in this swap ;)
ol'blue, yes they did, indeed. I hope that flies for this swap will make it in time.
Hello Gnu Bee Flyer, thanks for your good words.
Don't bother buying the map of Lithuania, it's not worth it. I'm russian myself I was born in Soviet Union (lithuania), so I wouldn't mind it if you...
ol'blue, I did receive the flies from Geography swap, I wrote it there when I did. You sent them on the 3 rd of march, they were at my post office on 13 th, that's 10 days. They never come in faster...
I mailed my flies today. You should receive them in about 2 weeks. Thanks for the swap.
Just picked up my flies from the post office. A great set of flies! Thanks ol'blue and all tiers for this swap! Great job everyone!
ol'blue, the name of the fly is actually "F fly", so I'll be tying the "F fly" pattern in the "F" entry. Confusing, isn't it :confused: :lol:
That's great, thanks for the update! Thanks for the swap everyone.
I'm very busy at the moment, even put all my tying stuff away where my eyes couldn't see it, but I guess I'll have to unpack it for a short while. So many good patterns here...
I'll take part in...
Seems to be a nice combination. Could you post some pictures of your rod? What is it's weight in oz., what taper are you using? I was thinking of making something similar in the future. Let us know...
TyroneFly, I don't even know what IRS means :oops: :lol:
