Your best option for removing would be mineral spirits. Will not affect finish and works quite well. I am a carpenter and do a lot of spraying finishes as well. Just some background.

Also WD40 removes the glue, but the smell is offensive to women.

I am a big fan of GSP threads. Gel spun poly.
I use the 60 and 100 denier.
It has issues though. without the norvice, it is tough to dub, and you need a sharp blade ( on your scissors) to cut it. hold under tension and slice with the blade - just a normal cut doesnt.
Tough to break.
denier measurement is way easier to understand.

50 shades of grey
Back and forth . . . . Back and forth . . . .
In and out . . . . In and out . . . .
A little to the right . . . . A little to the left . . . .
She could feel the sweat on her forehead . . . .
Between her breasts . . . . And, trickling down the small of her back . . . .
She was getting near to the end.
He was in ecstasy . . . . with a huge smile on his face as his wife moved . . .
Forwards then backwards.
Forward then backward.
Again . . . . and, again . . . .
Her heart was pounding now . . . .
Her face was flushed . . . .
She moaned . . . . softly at first, then began to groan louder . . . .
Finally . . . . totally exhausted . . . . she let out a piercing scream . . . .
She shouted:
"OK, OK, you smug bastard, I can't parallel park. You do it!"-

Two Norwegians are drinking in a bar. One says, "Did you know that Elks have sex 10 to 15 times a day?"
"Aww, *hit," says his friend, "and I just joined the Knights of Columbus!"-

Kudos to murray for coordinating the volunteers and to Superfly for supplying the wooly bugger materials for kids to tie.

last summer I picked up a pair of Simms riprap wading shoes. Wore them with neoprene socks. They were great. Only drawback is that they wont accept studs (despite what the salesman at the store said)
However, the rubber is indeed grippy on the oldman slime, and they are good to walk the rocks and hillsides with.

I will re-emphasize getting someone to help you out. If you are picky, it will save you from throwing away some ugly flies. Online is helpful, but you still miss some techniques on how to hold material, proportions etc. I will also suggest watching Fly Tying the Anglers Art on PBS or online. I started watching LeRoy Hyatt many years ago. Great instruction and insight. He walks through each tie slowly with great detail and also shares good tips that you normally don't think about. He was my inspiration on learning to tie. A legend in instruction in my mind.
X2 for both suggestions - a muse cuts down on the frustration immensley, and Hyatt is a good instructor

foam body stones - uses the foam that soccer players (usually girls) tie up ponytails with. Tried it last summer - floats good on its own, but waterlogs after the first six fish. Gink it and it lasts at least a dozen. My daughter (37) likes them with legs. I haven't proven that it catches more fish. Oldman, with a PT dropper. I like them isn 12 to 16, but she wanted some BIG. these are #6.

Hey Bob,
I have a pair of simms guide waders that I have had 7+ years. During that time I have only had to do pinhole repairs. If your waders are gortex, turn the waders inside out and spray the waders with dilute isopropyl alcohol. The holes will appear as a dark spot. Use a small amount of aqua seal and rub it into the hole. This will seal the waders up good as new. You want only cover the hole as the aqua seal does breath. Never repaired a tear, but you can find some good videos here:

Any connection to the oil wells in the area? I recall one very near gap falls and there are uncapped casings in the canyon below.
Any body else recall the 'oil well hole'?

Anyone know of a supplier in Calgary??
