  1. Northern Lights Fly Fishers, the Edmonton, Alberta chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada, is trying to develop a free handout for parents and other adults on tips for introducing children to flytying. The club frequently offers kids the chance to tie a fly - usually a Woolly Bugger – at Sportsmens’ shows, retail outlets, scout groups etc. but would like to have something for them or their parents to take away with them that would help get them further involved in the art. The intent is also to offer this handout to other organizations, schools, clubs etc. for their use at no charge wherever they may be. To enhance the value of this we would much appreciate your experience, your insight and your thoughts - anything that you’ve found useful or think might be in terms of materials, where and when to start, tools, strategies, patterns etc. - on what might motivate and enable a boy or girl to become and enjoy being a tyer. Please post any ideas that you're willing to share. Thanks in advance
  2. Thanks ihang10. Checked Jacquard and talked to their technical guy - very helpful. Have some of their product on order.
  3. Looking for advice - am trying to dye a bleached deer hair hide olive. Have used Superfly dye formulas and procedures but although the hide itself accepts the colour, the hair will not. Have cleaned the hide thoroughly and tried different temperatures and lengths of immersion but all with the same result. Any advice would be much appreciated. Peter
