At every show that I have been Tying Chairman including Conclaves, I have
always made that same announcement, "If it were not you tyers, we would not
have a show." The Sowbug happens to be a "Tying Show" the Conclaves a "Fund
Raising" show and the big shows mostly "Vendors" selling shows.
I stand corrected on Shows and Conclaves. To me they are all shows., I have
been tying at shows since 1989, Conclaves 1994. Doing demo tying since 1987.
Have tied on and off from 1945 to 1988.

I guess I have about 600 books on Fly Fishing and Fly Tying. I have a good
number inscribed to me. I have been told that that lowers the value. In some
cases I have photos of the author signing the book. I have put these photos in
the book. I am not worried about what the books are worth at this
Peggy,
is this the book by Mike Valla.
Mike and I are friends and the book is a real good book. Very well done.

The Catskill Fly book is great.

Most of the books I have inscribed to me have a notation about a friend or as a

Does that make me famous, I guess not.

Chuck,
This may rattle some but here is what I do with plastic beads of the right size
that have no recess for the bend clearance. I normally have to do this for the
plastic beads on the WRD. The plastic bead will not go around the bend, If I
force it it will split. If I use a bigger bead
s for
the various stages.
And the Valla Catskill book was just as nice and
informative, with lots of photos of the giants of the Catskill flies, their
patterns, and the historic waters.

Mike, I know this will worry some tyers and I am sure some hooks will be too
brittle like the old VMC hooks. I have had no problems with the Eagle Claw
hooks I use and most of the Mustads.. On some of the old Mustads, most that

I know this is kind of getting off topic but I have knows some tyers that have
used a cigarette lighter to anneal the bend to open it up a bit. I have not
resorted to that.
Plastic beads are my problem not many brass beads.
Don, you are right about the old Mustads. I have a draw with a whole bun

straightened out, reshape it, fish again and again and again.. Other brands I
don't know about, Chuck
