  1. Veniard Dye is for protein type materials eg fur feathers cotton. Polyester is not a protein material and will not work with this dye. Most man made materials are not protein type material.
  2. Cphubert is correct you need a dispersion dye. See attached for process and dyes. https://silverbobbin.com/how-to-dye-polyester/

  4. Nice job with the pelt. The fur is very durable and I am surprised it is not used more. I find the variegated fibers appealing for many patterns, and is easily dyed.
  5. Great looking flies Moshup & Sandan. Same technique as for Moose Maine, but somehow I never made the connection. I now have a new use for my horse tail hair....thanks guys.
  6. 👍..Mark did you do any good with flies?
  7. Love it....never thought to use GP for legs, I will have to tie up a few. Thanks for posting Dfoster & thanks for the link nikever.
  8. Nice snook CB, and great video .... you got it all from hook up to net.
  9. Nice pattern Scott, dying black deer hair turned out real good.
  10. Thanks for the info Scott. I tried dying buck tail with Rit dye and it came out grey with bluish overtones. I really like the color but not what I expected.
  11. SBPatt I am liking the last two. Definite confidence patterns. Is it difficult dying the pheasant rump black?
  12. A lady gave birth to her son in the car on the way to the hospital. Her husband named the kid Carson.

  15. Yes I am familiar as I grew up near Vinco. We probably fished a few of the same places. Some of my favorite trout streams I fished from that area in the 60’s were. Yellow Creek, Chest Creek, Clear Shade Creek, Laurel Run, Blacklick Creek, Loyalhanna Creek.
  16. Nice. The Pink Lady was the favourite fly of the famous author George La Branche in the early 1900's. The story goes that La Branche stumbled upon the recipe more or less by accident as he bought some King of Waters, a fly with a deep red body, that lost most of their red body colour when fished and turned pink. The pattern was later tied by Rube Cross and the Dettes and many others. This is a striking fly with its pink body and double-slip mallard quill wings. The recipe for the Pink Lady reads: Wing: Double-slip mallard quill, divided Tail: Medium ginger Body: Pink floss ribbed with narrow flat gold tinsel Hackle: Medium ginger Hook: Mustad 94840 (or similar classically shaped hook) Interesting History of Two Pink Ladies: The Pink Lady a Catskill Legend Two Vintage Recipes for Riparian Revelry (Sistas from different Mistas) https://dunmagazine.com/posts/the-pink-lady-a-catskill-legend
