[VFB] Re: Feather smell
The white part of the tail can be a substitute for Polar Bear as can other parts of white fur. This was a road kill in perfect shape, not smashed so I thought I would skin it out. It was a cold day and I was at a friends shop on the lake. I put the skin in my new van with the windows closed. It did not smell in the cold air outside where I skinned it. The sun warmed up the air in the van and no need to tell you, it was cold driving the 40 miles home with all the windows open.I tried washing the pelt and several other things to get the smell off the skin. I finally tried Borax and Joy, that did it and left the skin part nice and white and no smell. Tony --- On Tue, 10/28/08, John C. Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: John C.

[VFB] Re: Feather smell
John, Yes it was a fun day. I got home at dark and had to leave the windows on the new van open all night. Funny thing was, when I had it hanging in my outside shop it did not smell, I would take it inside to my tying room and in a day it would smell. In and out it would go. I finally left it out. We moved to Arkansas and I had it in a box with other furs in a sealed plastic bag. When I opened the bag it smalled. I had decided to dispose of it but hung it under the porch. In the outside air, it did not smell at all till I brought it inside. I finally decided to soak it in Borax and Joy after washing some Pheasant skins. Low and behold, no more smell. That was over 10 years ago, the skin is still in my tying room. It is too perfect to cut up. I have another skin for that. Tony --- On Wed, 10/29/08, John C.

OK, Thomas is # 23. But, if you would like, I can make you #23 and Thomas # 22. In any event, we only have two vacancies. As for being an Old Fart, you definitely qualify, and a grumpy one too! :-P JIMMY D This will be interesting. As I'm no 22 and Thomas is #22 as well, each of us has to tie 12,5 flies. Thomas, do you want to ty the first half the the 13th fly, and I do the 2nd part or should we switch this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

[VFB] Feather I.D. Request
Hi VFB, Feather i.d. request for the wizards out there. I am in need of a relatively durable feather, at least a durable stem. The shape needs to be like a Corn Nut, and not longer than 1/2 from base to tip, smaller is also good. Does anyone know what feather, from what cape, would be close to that description? Color is secondary. If it is necessary to simply trim a feather to get this shape, some suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bay of Texas? Does he mean the Gulf of Mexico coast of Texas? Yeah, I've been down there once or twice - this month. If you (or he!) can tell me where and when he's going, I can give him some suggestions on actual locations, flies, gear, and best bets.

[VFB] OLD FART Swap Closed 10/29 10:10 p.m. CDT
SWAP IS NOW CLOSED! Communications to tyers will now be off list . RULES for OLD FART SWAP Tie a fly of your own design, or whatever. Type of fly - trout, salmon, salt, panfish, etc. Size of fly is up to you. Time frame for flies to me would be February 1, with the usual toe tags, (little tags with name of fly and your name and email address), and return postage packaging or pre-stamped return package. You may also pass along the pattern and materials list. HOW MANY FLIES TO TIE ?? At this point, with 25 in the swap, you would tie 24 flies to send to me. It'll always be one fly below the total number, cause you don't need to tie one for yourself. One last thing I request is for you to let me know the name of your Old Fart Fly. Any questions, please contact me OFF LIST.

Sure is funny all the pictures you can get on the web. Googled ringneck pheasant feather and got a bunch. I see what you mean about the white neck feathers. I am really not familiar with that feather. I tend to buy packages of pheasant feathers, particularly dyed. Is that feather all white?

Chuck, you don't need bifocals for your computer. Just go to Walmart and get a pair of plain old reading glasses. That's what I use.

[VFB] Re: My email fonts
Oh, I got 50 pair of reading glasses.I buy them by the dozen at the Dollar Tree store LOL. I put em in the bathroom, in my bedroom, tying table, car, fishing tub, fishing vest, by my computer, in my tool box. You name it. My problem is that I sit with my face about maybe 16 inches from the screen. At that distance, with my glasses on, the screen is blurry. If I take them off, at that distance my normal vision is blurry. I can read the computer by wearing my glasses and putting my head real close to the monitor, which gives me a headache, or by enlarging my fonts, which is what I had to do..Getting to be an Old fart is rough LOL..
