I am sure you guys remember the Rope Dub guy I told you all about, right? He's the one selling the DVD's on Rope Dud technique. Well he just emailed me and is coming South Jan, or Feb (which Feb is better for me) and going along the Gulf Coast to Florida and wants to stop in here and me take him crappie fishing and him give me some private lessons. I am ecstatic! I can't think of anything I would like more than this.

Congrads Skip I know that you will put him on the fish and will teach him how to use those Thump-It Jigs. Just hope that his arm is up to it.

No just another guy that loves this hobby. This guy is a Pro that has been tying flies for over 50 years and is also on the Pro Whiting Team. Knows a lot of stuff to say the least.Quote:

Congratulations Skip. Any time you get to meet someone you look up to and admire they're work, is exciting.
Skip, that is great news and hope it works out for you. I know you have enjoyed his Rope Dub tying and to get a chance to have some one on one lessons would be nice for you. Congrats
That is fantastic my friend. Looking forward to yhe report from it with photos.
Excellent Skip!!!! I hope you guys have a great time fishing and tying!!!!!!!!!
HUGH HONOR skip im sure he will like ur jigs and am sure he love ur jigs
Skip,your work is great, He is the one who is feeling very lucky. Enjoy the shared knowledge.
Thanks guys I really appreciate your kind comments for sure! I am so looking forward to this and to get some private lessons on his technique will be a real treat. He is an awesome fly tyer so hope to learn a good bit from him. I love his DVD that I bought, but these lessons will be on his next DVD yet to come out. He has some very cool things he does and I do think it will be a very big help for me on using dubbing lots of ways. I especially want to learn better tying hackle inside the rope dud so it's stem is totally protected if you want. We had talked and email a ton so I already know he's a super nice guy with over 50 years tying experience. He has already helped a good bit with things I want to still do, but have not had time to do near as much as I want.

Skip those jigs look so good I would be afraid to let them out of the House. :biggrin
Jack I plan on putting all his work under glass to just collect. He's actually pretty famous for making giant flies for offshore fishing. Some like a couple feet long, so I do mean giant, LOL
From all the rain you guys are getting, you better brush up on your tree top fishing. Congrats Skip!

Thanks NP, We need a lot more rain, but it sure was nice getting what we have so far. While I was in Florida we got enough to raise the lake 2 feet and not sure how much this time, let me check.... Looks like almost another foot. I am a bit surprised it was not more, but maybe some is still coming from up North in our watershed???
