look at the technique Rick Z mentioned it will totally transform how you look for and or at feathers for the tying of soft hackles. I personally have always preferred Hun soft hackles over the...
I've used the poo goo for at least 5 years now and had the same problem with top cracking. I just took the top from a similar empty bottle of Loon flotant and no problem.
Take a kid fishing and do it vicariously through him or her. It'll be some of the best times you'll ever have and I've realized lately they never forget it either.
The book I most often recommend to relatively new fishers is Gary borgers book titled Presentations. It pretty much covers the whole thing from tying up leaders to reading water, etc. Older fly...

Is there going to be a fish-in in this area some time this year ?
An economical way to acquire good wool is by buying a complete hide (tanned not raw). I've purdhased them in the mid 30 dollar range and then cut the hide into 3" wide by 12"strips for dying or tying...
I need to read more closely. I neglected to notice the word "hock". I don't know what your tying but a hair I've used a lot over the years is the throat hair off a white tail BUCK. The white under...
Unless your going to do a lot of hair and or feathers I believe you would be better off just buying a patch of bleached hair. Elk hair from a mature Bull is very light from the flank area. If you can...
