Hi Chuck: Thanks for the offer, but it is the rod wrapping thread in size A that I wanted and I have now got it albeit at a steep price. I did buy a fairly large amount of Gudebrod fly tying thread on ebay after they went out of business in primarily 8/0 and 10/0 with some 6/0 and 3/0 in limited colours. Thanks again but I am well stocked in fly tying threads.

Let me know as I have a lot of it, but I mostly use Danville Fly master plus these days. I have about 15 spools of Guderbrod I’lll give you a good deal on (FREE LOL) if you email me at chuckalexan...@centurylink.net <mailto:chuckalexan...@centurylink.net> with your address. I even have a new spool of that Guderbrod scarlet color in 3/0. The other color range from black to white and every color in between. Some are on reg sized spools, while others are on the wide skinny spools and in 3/0, 6,0, and 8/0 in size. I can do that as I have enough thread to last two lifetimes, but like I said, I have gotten used to the Danville’s.

However, it is also our responsibility to revive it a bit. My fishing was slow this year for known reasons. One of my grandkids took me out for fishing. Well, this 4 year old asked my a couple of time, if we shouldn't go out and catch some fish. That's more precise. He is now eager to ty some flies with me. Tying season is ahead of us, so I'll intend to stock my boxes with my hoppers, the blue (parachute) beetle and some EHCs. However, I'm wondering if I shouldn't add something new to my arsenal. For trout. Suggestions? KR Rene On 11/13/2019 03:48 AM, Neville Gosling wrote: > No wonder this site is not getting much traffic.
