Burlap?

[Jasonh]

Looking to find some burlap to tie up some steelhead flies for the klamath and trintiy. Anyone have any ideas where to find it? Thanks.

Sounds like the problem's solved.... Some alternate sources for burlap might be a baitshop which sells burlap bags, a garden supply or craft/hobby shops usually have some plain and dyed....

Jason...still need some burlap? I have some brown burlap. Hey David, got an extra hunk of the Stone Fly Yellow burlap? If you do just send a small amount with my August flies. Danka! Thom

The Burlap was a standard Steelhead fly on the Klamath and Trinity Rivers 20-40 years ago.

At on time we stocked burlap in natural and in died green/olive.

We would actually take a finger nail sanding board and sand the burlap body after it was installed on the hook which would raise up the fibers making it more bushy/fuzzy and then trim it with scissors.

To this day, the burlap is one of the more productive flies on the upper Sacramento thanks to Ted Fay

I used to buy my burlap at Beverly Fabrics. I tied hundreds of dozen of the Golden stone nymphs for Herb and Patty Burton at the Trinity fly shop
I was buying the burlap by the rolls and hand shredding each strand.

Brings back memories of fishing the trinity and the klammath. I use to be part of a group that had rights to a fish camp right across the river from Johnson's. I think the name of the riffle was called the Metta Riffle. I also tied up alot of BB and Silver hiltons for the store right there at the bridge. I don't know if it's still there or not. The name at that time was called the Orleans Store.

Hi Jay,.... Are you referring to the store at the bridge in Weitchpec If yes, I probably have some of your flies in one of my old Steelhead fly boxes
