while you are there walk down to the rock cliff..always been productive for me...good luck.............Wolfie

yepper...you know the saying...haste makes waste..well I forgot I'm not in BC any longer.........sorry...........Wolfie

if you add the hair...use the foam to hold the hair from popping up all over the place...that works great...look here it will help..Wolfie .................................. http://hopperjuan.blogspot.com/2009/05/hopper-juan-tying-steps.html

Brunsie...Orange?...I thought for you it would have been ..'cherry'.............Wolfie

hey that's neat , I'm a big fan of foam bugs...does the top piece of foam [representing the upper wing], lift up when u take ur finger off of it ..or..have u tied it down so not to lift?.............Wolfie

hopefully it will knock the socks off those bulls...cause I know it does wonders on Steelies/Salmon............Wolfie ..oh yeah...that was the colour of a hopper, that turned fish on!

I noticed while fishing on Monday that a certain colour was highly visible to the naked eye..and so hopefully my theory may work in luring a Bull to my camera...................here are my latest streamers. All comments will be taken in................Wolfie

Guess I'm the odd ball..I've been using it as a 'base', before I apply my glue to make their heads that hold the eyes on my streamers. So ..I need it rather thick.....see the opposite again.............Wolfie

No it is I who am sorry for reacting in that fashion..had a very big thing happen here to me in my personal life and was wound up about it , saw ur post and ...well Bob is ur uncle..I know better, cause ppl here try and help always..M'Lady..I'm sorry...and if I saw that situation when a guy pushed u into the water..both Nikita and I would have more than words with him..there is NO ..respect nor tolerance when a man uses force on a woman, for I was taught by the best....my parents................Wolfie

depend upon?....lady..neither one of us know each other, but if you did..you would learn very fast that I depend on no one..Man, Woman or Beast..and because ur statement has rubbed me in the wrong way...I'll shut this site off for quite a while..you have a nice day.....Wolfie

yes...I've seen the tool, and the method how it was used...but in the screen shots I noticed ..dubbing wax being used....I've tried the loop method with/without wax, and it works..................Wolfie

been tying in between time some of my favorite streamers, like the two I posted , but in different colour combinations, in hopes that one of them might yield me an Alberta Bull, will post some pics, after I've done a few more...........Wolfie

...I forgot to ask that myself.............Wolfie

beedhead..no m8 it was a 'cuttie' all the way, and yes I was told that there was cutbows in here as well.. Pipestoneflyguy..so you have a Norwegian Elk Hound, and she could be taken to those canyons, cause the breed is quite suited for mountain climbing...the terrain in Norway is very similar to the rolling hills here in Alberta, a denser population of tress..and Nikita just loves the fishing trips even if it is to Elbow in the city..the sound of fish splashing around because it is hooked turns her on, so I try even harder to bring one in just to watch her "wake up"...and those moments are far and few between................Wolfie

well guys, thanks for the info...I also went to Michael's looking but found nothing, chapstick you said Brunsie, I'll give that a try for sure, and Doc, the wax I still have is a rusty colour, which doesn't change the colour of the dubbing, and seeing how the amount that is used is so minimal, I doubt that any harm comes to the dubbing...well maybe I should consider upgrading to that fancy rotary type vise, which I seen being used to twist the dubbing between a loop of thread or learn how to do that manually...thanks guys and ladies for your help...............Wolfie

mmm..no it's not as messy as you think, but it is extremely effect, OK..then let me ask you..besides using that rotor vise, how or what do u all use to apply the dubbing to ur thread.........Wolfie

well...why don't you print off what has been posted on page 2, and drop in there and have a friendly chat with them..they will only chat with you or throw you off their property, in which case if they did, that will let you know that all was a bluff to only cater to their guests..then report back to us ..how's that?.............Wolfie

the number of wraps are not important as the size of lead wire I'm using..OK..I've just checked to see what weight it is or size, but cause these are real old they do not state anything..however..the smallest is .020, so the one I use would be .030 or .035, yes I would have to say.. .035 would be the size. And as far as wraps are concern..only from 1/3 back from the eye to just before the bend at the back of the hook. ..hope that helps you...Wolfie ...

Drew....if you can tie these up , I used them a lot in the Cowichan River [on cohos and steelies] , when I was living on the Island............Wolfie ..hook, ur choice and size. ..body..mylar tubing ..polar bear upper and lower wings ..pearl flashabou / navy flashabou..top wing.. ..epoxy head with doll eye insert ..before u start to tie..make one weighted / one none weighted..the choice is ur's.

...wait a minute..first off how did you know what camera I have....I've not told anyone other than the m8 I was with yesterday..... ...and the answer to the other question ..yes , I cropped it which increased the ability to enlarge it , that is just the area I wanted..the pics come out with 4000x3000 pixels...a great little camera..........................Wolfie

Holy smoke ...such an array of various answers...and I thought mostly all "fly tiers" would know what it is and the use of it.....guess not ..OK, then I'll explain, but first off ladies it is Not used to remove any unsightly 'hair'.... ..it is used to apply on ur thread with a bobbin, then u can put a pitch of dubbing on the thread before u spin it...I still have some in a bottle but after the years it is on it's last leg, getting dried out! Now, do you all know what I'm talking about?..............this is a funny group of ppl here in this forum.."hair removal"...that's a hoot!..................Wolfie

OK guys and Ladies..it is time that I pick ur brains on this one..Does anyone know where I can get,borrow or steal, and yeah..pay for it if I have no choice..a bottle of "liquid wax"................Wolfie

well..., been looking lots these days for a good minnow pattern................Wolfie

am I correct in assuming that your post is entirely in jest...sure hope so cause there are a few statement of ur's I would like to rip apart only if you were not joking of course....................Wolfie

...you want me to be the first to flame you......................Wolfie..
