Joyce, There's a good photo of JR here: http://www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-558-jelly-rope.aspx At $1.75, it's not that expensive and will tie a lot of flies.

Re: [VFB] re: Hobby Lobby and jelly rope
Hi Joyce, Stretch Magic is very similar to jelly rope. I believe it also comes in .5mm and 1.8mm. The basic product is clear and is used for beading. There is also a version in black. I find the most useful sizes for bugs I do are .7mm and .5mm (for mayfly size nymphs). The different diameters will lend themselves to different uses and inspiration. Jo-Ann's, if you have one, have larger diameter jelly rope type products in a package of six or so different transparent colors. It is in the craft section.

A second coat of UV and the results are amazing. A bare hook wrapped with pearl strip and then jelly-roped on the top, and then soaked with vinyl and then covered on the top with UV looks really cool- pearlescent-transparent. The thinned vinyl is to penetrate all your materials and make a solid fly, allowing the materials below to come to the surface as special effect colors. Then the UV coat gives transparent depth and allows all the undercolors to do even more amazing things. But after a few of these simple ones you may get adventuresome. Using the juice-bug tutorial as a basis lends for some experimentation. Nice thing is that everything comes out cool and fishable and gives you more ideas. So everyone's entries may be a hodge-podge of experiments gone well. I have a 100 or so in my boxes and have given away that many. I went back to old boxes and took out discard flies and treated them with the UV, glitter, and markers, and got some amazing new fishing flies. You'll find that markers and glitters are easy to use and give great results. You may hit on the simplest combo that the fish just can't resist. For panfish, I would do a pink ice-dub segmented scud with opal glitter in the UV- just a tad- would be killer. Chuck's pink panfish producer was rope-dubbed pink ice-dub. Just remember, it's a fun swap intended to let tiers play with techniques, especially Jelly-rope and UV goop.

[VFB] Catskill Swap
Hi Peggy, finally I got my flies yesterday. For some odd reason customs decided to catch the envelope. So I got a note, that something is not ok and I have to show up at customs. Was funny to explain them what a fly swap is. Then the envelope was officially opened by an authorized person. Carefully checking and everything was fine with them. Peggy labeled the envelope as 'gift', which worked all the years. I assume someone with missing English know how saw the package, 'gift' is also a German word, but means 'poison'... One question: I cannot identify one fly, look like a bwo, has a material list attached, but no tyer name. Can be Tom Davenport or Bob Laubengayer. All other flies I could assign to tyers. I should add, that this is really a great bunch of flies, and it was a pleasure to inspect them and take photos. But is was sad, to take Larry's fly in the hand Rene -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

Re: [VFB] IOFF Juice Bug/ Nymph Swap, Sign up, 3 slots left
If anyone wants to 'date themselves', they can tell us if they remember when Swannundaze came out. Remember the articles in the Fly rags called the 'Swannundaze Craze'? It was the hottest thing in tying for a few years, then the D-ribs and Larva-Lace came out. I have gobs of all of it left over (another term for 'hoarded'). A D-rib would be one-half of a Jelly-rope. Swannundaze is a D-rib flattended out. At the end it came in many sizes and colors. And a Larva-lace would be a hollow Jelly-rope. So any of these can be used for Juice-bugs. - Original Message - From: Don Ordes To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 10:16 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] IOFF Juice Bug/ Nymph Swap, Sign up, 3 slots left Ashley, (and swappers) You are correct.

Re: [VFB] Mustad definately China
Did you see the movie 'Outsourced'? How many 'heads' can you get for a buck an hour? - Original Message - From: Neville Gosling To: Virtual Fly Box Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 12:05 AM Subject: [VFB] Mustad definately China Henk: A quick search on Google produced the following information: - In the early 1970s Mustad established a regional centre and fish hook factory in Singapore where they produced a range of articles for sport fishing, including fishhooks. The Mustad company in the Philippines had made it possible to expand sales of flies, snelled hooks, jigs, rigs and lures. This has given the company a broader basis and has enhanced the penetration of Mustad fish hooks worldwide. Mustad has also acquired hook-manufacturing plants in Brazil – where it operates out of Porto Alegre – and Portugal. In 2001 Mustad decided to build a large fish hook factory in Wuxi, China. The plant has been expanded twice and the last expansion was completed in 2008-09. The Singapore factory was closed down in 2007 and all fish hook production transferred to China Source of information http://www.mustad.no/www2010/?page_id=5 Neville (Nev) Gosling -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
