Well praise the lord I finally did it! I went with Buddy's suggestion of making a few turns first and then inserting the feather, works like a charm.
Thanks for the help
I'm trying to tie the aftershaft leech on this website in the archives but I can't get the aftershaft feathers to stay in the dubbing loop, I'm using wax I even used a little head cement along the...
That's why I fly fish.
I like it. Last spring I headed up to a local lake that my uncle was camped at, I had talked to him the day before and he was heading home for two days but was going to leave his trailer and all his...
Well, as I live walking distance to the elk and about 20 min from Fernie I'd have to say that you're timing is horrible there will be no fish, terrible weather and thousands of people, I suggest...
Looking at the top ten trout streamer list I noticed that I had never heard of the 'allies chenille coachman' if some one has I picture or at the very least the recipe I'd love to see it.
thanx.
Well the way I see it, every fly shop I go into flies are $3.00ea and up. Selling six for $10.00 is probably... No it's definetly underpriced.
Darryl, I wish I could help with the dye but I don't dye much of my own stuff, I just have to say I love the qoute on the bottom, if she only knew.
Success!! :lol: thanks for all the advice, I finally completted one I would actually fish. In the end I used iowaflyguys advice and tied the hair in by the tips near the bend, seems to work pretty...

I really like this pattern but I'm having a hard time with it any advice on how to make this style of body would be...
I've also found that wrapping the bundle of hair once or twice before you tie it on the hook helps lots.
Ran into this poem a couple days ago and thought this site would appreciate it.
I am a fisherman for life;
I will always be a fisherman.
It is not something I do,
It is who I am.
Fishing is...
Thanks for the pics, and thanks for hosting. Sorry for the delay I didn't take the border into consideration, thanks for the patience I'll be sure to leave more time for delivery in the future.
Sorry gang, meant to get to the post office sooner but between hunting season and work I've been rather busy, never the less they went out today hopefully they make it buy the deadline. Thanks for...
Yes that would be fine, maybe to broaden the swap a bit anything by Phil Rowley would be acceptable wether from a magazine or any other source out there. I'd also like to extend the registration...
Good deal, just finished my flies for my first swap may as well hop on another. I'll be tying some sort of scud I'll keep you posted.
Recently I joined my first swap the tiny swap, thanks to Ol' Blue for hosting. If people are keen to get into a swap they will find one in short order usually, I've seen numerous swaps that I could...
Ok gang here I go my very first swap as "swapmeister" woo-hoo.
I am mostly a stillwater fisherman and Phil Rowley is my favorite author so here's the deal, flies must be selected from Phil...
Well another question, no doubt another timely answer.

My first fly was an ice cream cone midge, that was also my first hand tied fly that I caught A fish on. wish I would have saved it.
Sounds good to me, I'd like to get in with chan's red butt. I tie it on tiemco 200R which are 3x long shank does that still count?
Hi there, I have a problem with my casting that may seem very elementry. I have a hard time false casting without "water loading" my line. I have been fly fishing for 5-6 yrs. and have never bothered...
