What size do y'all figure this one is...... never did measure it just curious what you guys would put it at.

Anyways I am pretty sure I see what you mean and if you wanted something to resemble a cork grip I would simply order one maybe slice in half length wise if frame depth is a concern.... regardless you will need a deep frame. heres a link to the cabelas rod building selection of cork product and stuff..... I would think that something outta there might suit your needs....... http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...rentId=cat20431

Just let me clarify you want it to resemble a rod handle?

R and D hardware here in canmore has sheeted cork.... bout 3/8th" thick. You would have to figure away to cleanly cut or burn the circle out though..... must be a place in cangary that has that sorta stuff as well.

Flytyer no worries the post was kinda vague. It works quite well...... but the hair products need to be in small quantities and need to be dried very well afterwards..... also hair needs to be folded over the hide side to make the hairs flare out otherwise its tough to get the hair to dye right to the base. I usually staple the hide to hold it that way. Sometimes they need a couple treatments to get the desired affect. Feathers are pretty cool as well.

I'm not talking about treating and cleaning out bugs..... this is for dyeing when dyed products are not available

not an expert but I don't think so.... how would I tell?

sorry I think this one has the microwave directions http://www.thepiper.com/fiberart/koolaid/basic-howto.html

Few sites out there can't find the one I originally used but this one is basically the same. If you are gonna do some PM as theres a couple tricks I learned.... I also usually use the microwave method as its pretty damn simple and pretty fast as well http://www.knitty.com/issuefall02/FEATdyedwool.html

love dyeing (dying,dieing) stuff.....I use the koolaid method google it and you should find a site explaining dying wool with koolaid works the same for most animal products I have dyed. Though I have only done feathers and deer hair. couldn't find any yellow koolaid though so I have dyed stuff yellow using tumeric.... works but took forever to kill the tumeric smell to my nose 2 hot cycles is a mesh baggie in the wash seemed to work..... I am still not sure if fish can smell the remnants but I don't think so.... For fairly dark hairs I would think you might have to start by bleaching if you wanted a decent dye job..... but I haven't done this. The deer hair under the fly in this pic are examples of koolaid (and tumeric) dyeing. As to the actual original questions I don't believe when hair is the topic that animals are bred for tying..... but I'm not sure.....birds are in some cases for sure but animals I think not...... As for organic.... I don't understand the question

Nope...... but considering the ice is already forming there one just hopes someone will be managing it over the winter so them fish get bigger for next year. I'm not sure if TU could take it over though...... unless the band let them.

Wish I knew as it could be handy. I have boiled deer hair while dyeing.... it wasn't that curvy to begin with though so its hard to say if it did anything in the way or staightening it. I'd love to see the site if you find it.

not gonna make the cutoff on this one sorry my digi cam is MIA along with my smith sunglass's.......

LS you can read the subtitles?

Thats all you gotta do? sing to em and poof! boobs appear....... my search for knowledge has come to an end. Tell yer wives I'm havin a live concert

It was great to meet you Mr Loblaw hope to see you on the river again some time. Gotta say that hawg' hawg is 25-26

oh crap did I post the answer to soon?

Wow nice guess fly tyer 25 is actually a couple 8ths on the generous side but close enough. I say LK's is about 8" you know though I measured a carbon copy fish of mine in that pic with the tape flat on the body rather then extended above..... It measured close to 27 but I figure it was about 2 inchs of curve...... so I guess it depends on how you measure. Bonus question how many of my bauer reels would fit in that gut?

try that one except glen

wow we were way off on the redfish...... still a nice red though..... how long is a LONG redfish?

great shots as usual man. Love the moose and especially that sunset ps that shot outta the plane makes me want to go ski diving dunno why

I'm happy to pay more.... if it has a positive affect on the fisheries.....

cool then i would get in on it barring any unforeseen catastrophies..... but I'll let you know if the world comes to an end

depends if its a deadline before dec 15 I would have to give a miss...... not enough hours in the day right now...... I haven't even started my own tying for next year yet

This is how I feel at work This is how I feel after work...... JK most days its not that bad
