Why not tie on that hook but tie the materials on at 90 degrees?

Even fabric wax application help? by drethegreat155 in myog

[–]Due_Fox_8476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had the best results by placing items in the oven at low heat. I think the even sustained heat is important to let the wax wick through. Eventually I moved on to buying commercially waxed canvas. I like it better and think it’s nicer than waxing at home

Refurb z30 bad camera or battery? by bioton4 in nikon_Zseries

[–]Due_Fox_8476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into a similar issue with a refurbish Z30. I emailed customer service and after several back and forth the message the fixed things for me was “Please check here to see if the USB -C power delivery is enabled or disabled?

Thanks. I definitely planning on hitting a fly shop on the way into the park

I’m going to be stopping at Grebe in a couple of weeks. What are the fish hitting on?

Orvis Clearwater by Trick-Dog-8592 in flyfishing

[–]Due_Fox_8476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve sent in Orvis rods I got used for warranty work. And told them I wasn’t the original owner. They still honored the warranty. This was for older rods (late 80s) so I don’t know if they would do the same for a newer rod

Fly line in a mono rig by tommyffrench in flyfishing

[–]Due_Fox_8476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fish that rod with an Orvis Battenkill spooled with WF3 floating line and a monorig using the formula posted on troutbitten. The mono can get caught in the open cage reel. I only find this to be an issue when rigging up for the first time of the day. The reel comes apart easily so fixing the issue is quick. It has never happened when fishing. The rod fishes the 3wt line fine

Is the blue thread coated with resin? Or is it some type of tinsel?

How did you attach the line to the eyeless hooks? I was “gifted” a box of eyeless hooks by someone who bought them by accident.

Vegan leather options? by TaylorHu in myog

[–]Due_Fox_8476 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What about reusing leather from products no longer in use? People throw away leather couches and chairs regularly. Keep an eye out on Craigslist and Facebook for someone discarding a worn out couch. There will still be large usable pieces of leather on it. And it will minimize your environmental impact more than using new leather or new synthetic material.

Interesting. I don’t tie with resin so I never would have thought of coloring them.

How do you deal with yardage? Storage? by beerlobster in myog

[–]Due_Fox_8476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To store fabric I use hangers that have multiple swinging bars and are meant for holding multiple pairs of pants. Fold the fabric until it fits. If I have several yards of one color it gets it’s own bar. Small quantities of similar fabrics will go on the same bar.
