Hi gordon and welcome to FAOL!!!
Hello Jim, Thank you for the warm greeting. I will go thru the archives and see what patterns are there for me to tie up. One thing for sure is that I will be asking for new ideas. I like to create my own patterns for wet flies and regardless how shabby they are or how beautiful they are the patterns always seem to work. I've tied many thousands of flies while doing semi-commercial tying some years ago the wet fly always seem to work no matter where you are or what you are fishing for. Gordon
Hello Dale, Glad to meet you. Thank you for the link to Bergman flies. I've always liked the wet flies and they always seem to produce for me no matter where I am. Thank you once again. Gordon
Hello Bruce, I'm happy to meet you. I bet I shocked Warren when he read that I was here on the forum. He and I have become great friends thru email and shared a lot between us and I hope that I make a lot more new friends as time goes on. My most favorite wet fly just so happens to be the Female Egg Laying Grannom in a size # 14. That fly has accounted for more hits and hookups then any other fly that I or my Wife use. Gordon
Hello Randy. Thank you for the links about the books. I took a look at them and the one by Allen and McGee is one which I could use and will purchase later on today. Gordon
Hello Warren, Have you gotten over your shock to see me here? HAHA!! You were right about meeting a lot of friendly and HELPFUL folks on the forum, that they are. Today and tomorrow are TYING DAYS !! I have been looking forward to do some serious, non semi-commercial tying for a while. Gordon
Hello Ray, Glad to meet you. I'm like you, wets and streamers seem to have the attraction to trout, imitating the insects heading towards the surface to hatch or a nice streamer that imitates a baitfish. A number of years ago I was fishing a # 4 Yellow Marabou Muddle Minnow, all I can say is that when those Brown Trout hit that fly the water went everywhere. Quite an exciting day it was and some of the largest Brown rout I have ever caught the largest being almost 5 pounds which all were returned to the water unharmed. Gordon
Hello John, Happy to meet you. Gordon
