Re: Old Master

Thanks, Carl.
Knowing kinda helps when I start looking for substitutes for "banned" materials. I also understand that sometimes availability of substitutes is an as-you-found-it proposition.

Only has to last until it catches something. Tree, submerged tree, rocks, oh, or a fish. :lol:

Re: Old Master

What do you mean by "Heron substitute"? Is that the name of the material, or just a generic, "I substituted something for the heron the pattern called for"? I wouldn't worry too much about the color shift. I doubt any of us have color tuned our monitors. The change could be from ...

No, but I do make a 2 to 3 wrap tag from the wire before wrapping it through the fly.

Re: Framing Flies - DIY Craft Project

There'a just no end to your talents, is there, Ray? This would be fantastic, if I had my own space to put them in. A very good job. As I remember it, the "school paste" had a wintergreen scent added to it. My friend in kindergarten was a paste eater. He convinced me to try it, but it wasn'...
