FREE White Bucktails

Smear them with K-Y gel?

OH of course..........smooth AND silky

I do not know if you have answered this question before, but what do they do with them in Tibet?

Very poor people with almost no opportunities.
Together with a Swedish Free Tibet movement group, helped to open a fly
tying factory for the community where about 20 people benefit directly and
almost 200 benefit indirectly. Apparently very basic and still learning.

Excellent stuff Wiets!
I was thinking something here alongthe lines of getting some of the folks at my club and attendant school to put some bucks and time together to maybe teach a group of 'Homeless Talk' dudes to tie and retial them with the shops getting a mark-up and the basic profit going to the 'Homeless Talk' guys. There are so many out-of-work decent people here who have the moral fibre and pride not to resort to crime. Trouble is they all live in 'informal settlements' all over and trying tosay bus them to our school for lessons will be the main problem - anyway something I'm at least thinking of trying to get into place here in Joeys

Am off in a coupla hours to check if any smallscales want to co-operate with me, river levels around Badplaas pretty full but the water surprisingly is still about a metre-deep clear, but it's very spooky fishing so no self-afflicted strafdops till after dawn at least!

Wow!!Best of luck....

Thanks, we've already been doing a bit of riverwise education with dudes in Diepsloot, but it's hard work and real tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. Quite often if we can give the guys a good time and a temporary break away from their drudgery, a square meal and some clothing and they learn at least something, it's better than nought.

Thanks again, Chris

Dear Wiets,

Dropped off your reels/spools at your North Riding branch - your colleague Pieter signed for them, all in order! Beautiful reels!
Thanks also for the bucktail I picked up as well - will experiment this weekend!

Cheers, Chris
