It'll be great to have the "Furled Leader Gang" from FAOL with us once again at the Expo! Look forward to seeing all the FAOL'ers there . . .

I'm happy to report that the show is "sold out" for the vendors - I have no more vendor space available. Visitors will see many new faces and a full show. Promises to be a good one with Ed Engle,...

I'll be there . . . ;)

I'm using script bi-focals in Ray-ban frames. Frames are wrap-around and block the sun from the sides - something I've found invaluable over the years.

After trying many different frames, lenses,...

What they said :) ! Unfortunately, I've sunk more than my share of motors - can't rely on those doggone transoms to hold anything. If it's in salt, flush it with fresh water, let it dry out real...

I'm with Joe V. - I overline my 2wt with a WF3 or a DT4. Seems to cast much better . . . like a dream, actually!

Try overlining and see how you like it. Sometimes those real light rods need a...

Bob,

I plan to be there most of the week and would be happy to work with you. Dry flies are my favorites.

I'm with Joe on this one . . . masking tape is the conventional approach. But don't miss his one point - leave the GAP BETWEEN THE WRAPS. It's important! Get's the connection between the reel...

Received mine too . . . nice job by all. Some great ties in the group! Thanks to all for tying, and to Ol' Blue for organizing.

Joe

Thanks to Brad and Bill for putting on their "show" this weekend and enduring the endless questions on furled leaders. Although, I do have to say it looks like they had a LITTLE fun, anyway! : ) ...

I have the dubious "honor" of being the Last One! I apologize to all. I had some issues with my mailing, and the flies came back to me. Sorry to hold up the entire swap due to my stupidity. They...

Mine are on the way as well . . .

The 30th Annual Midwest Fly Fishing Expo will be held on March 8th and 9th this year at the Macomb Community College Sports and Expo Center in Warren, Michigan. The event, sponsored by the Michigan...

I have to agree with Joe - build your own, if you can. The satisfaction is a great thing! Besides, even if you are a "perfectionist", you could build two or three for the cost of a single factory...

Thanks, Donald. Good info as always. Nice to see what the "old thinking" was on the colors we all think we know . . . .

Joe

I'd take the magazine online. Can print out the pages I want to save, if necessary and can use a color printer to do it.

I get several lengthy newsletters with photos, etc. this way. Thought...

I'll be there as well . . . looking forward to seeing fellow FAOL'ers. Bill - your boxes are set aside and loaded in the car.

Joe

Bill/Jean,

Let me know if you want a place to meet for a while at the Expo in March. I'm sure we can find a room where the gang can sit down and chat for a bit.

I know a guy who has some...

I knew Donald would jump in and reply with his usual great information! Pig's wool is a VERY classic English tying material. Look at many of the old writings from Thomas Barker, James Chetham and...

Try stacking the hair instead of spinning it on the hook. That's how the deer hair bug tiers get the "spots" on their patterns. The hair stays where you put it on the hook . . .
