Yeah, about that not logged in thing... I wrote a response to REE in another thread, hit the button, and it all magically disappeared.

Shoulders suck, they really do. Two shoulder operations later, and I wish I'd just tried to live with the original mess. Never again.


I tried to respond to ...

Yes a shoulder injury can take you out of the game fast for sure. It can seem like a little thing, but it can also make it impossible at the same time. My doctor said I would have to have physical therapy, but no I did not get that. I worked it out over a period of time. Busy with grandbabies ...

Hank, it has been a while, but glad to hear from you! Life for me has been incredibly busy lately. But hope it winds down before too long, so I can get back to some relaxation and hobbies.

I looked, and yes it was surprising alright. I stopped using Ebay years ago. I could just save my spools once I get done with them, and rewind new thread on them. That is a shame though, as I used a lot lot it in the past. Now for using on fly rods, the bigger bobbin would not be an issue as much. I ...

I agree, a video would be wonderful. I have never seen a good video on this. I would really like to see the correct way to go about it.

Bill and Ray, I just watched all the videos. WOW. I am so thrilled that these important videos were done. Somebody finally did it. I thought the videos were incredible. I was tickled to death to see these fine works. I cannot thank the two of you enough! I wish I had seen these videos years ago ...

Wow those flies are sweet. Definitely frame worthy! Congrats, you have a lovely collection there.
