  1. And don't get me started with tales of using hair pilfered from our Pomerainian. Both the dog and the wife were ticked off at me.
  2. Lived in Bridgeton , NJ for 12 years until my move in 2001 to Kingsport, TN. I used to go into Pennsylvania for trout, but fished the Chesepeake Bay feeder streams and marsh areas with a Glass shrimp imitation for White Bass. Used larger salt water streamers ( Think Lefty K. or Bobby Pop. type streamers) when the Stripers came up to catch the eel spawning. Clouser deep minnow or generic hair or feather bait fish ( think shad also) worked. The deleware river has Shad running in it at certain times of the year that bite on a hook wit a bit of flash on it and when caugh become the "poor mans Bonefish". Some will take you down to the backing or beyond. Hair and foam poppers worked on stripers at night or in the big pond in Bridgeton for the stocked bass and Tiger Pike mules. Sponge spiders worked for Blue Gills in all the fresh water areas ( and some Brackish water too. ) I used fly outfits from 3 to 12 weight. Look up a club called "South Jersey Fly fishers". They will help you out and some of my old friends are still in it. Good luck and have fun,
  3. Years back I was tying with a friend at the Sommerset Fly show when I first encounted the Gudebrod long thread spools. At the time they were giveing away free plastic "bobbins"( more of a holder with an extended front that had a hole on the end) for use with them. I have a couple of them still lying around . I also picked up a specialally made bobbin for those spools that looked similar to what you made. It had a long arm on one side with washers at both ends that the spool fit between with a spring and thumbscrew at the far end to adjust the tension. The tip of the tube has a ceramic insert in it. I will post you pictures of both if you are interested.
  4. Hello- This is my first post to this forum and I guess it seems proper that the question of the vice comes first. I started with a cheap Model’ A" vice that came with my first flying "kit" from Cabala’s in 1982. I bought a Thompson model "A", and finally my Renzetti Traveler C-clamp that I later converted to a pedestal in 1995. I have used that same traveler to this date, and only last week bought the cam conversion jaws for it. I have tied flies from size 20 to 4/0 on it and it has performed flawlessly. I have found the rotary feature to be very useful. Take care Joe Kingsport, TN
