Thanks to all. Sorry I was this late in responding, I was on vacation in far north New Hampshire (fishing of course)
I've never tied with Squirrel body fur but I have used the tails. Road kill has supplied all I need. Remove the tail, toss the rest in the woods, and leave the tail by an ant hill. They will remove...
Godspeed Ladyfisher. May you be welcomed with open arms.
I heard that Vermont is going to allow felt sole wading boots to be used again starting on July 1st but have been unable to verify. Can any one here verify this is true?
According to another web...
When I fish from my Old Town canoe I sit flat on the bottom. Due to the smooth, flat bottom (on the canoe) I found this was the most stable for me to learn and just never changed. Down that low you...
I agree with Uncle Jesse, do both. The s-b-s will show better the placement and location of the item (fur, feather, dubbing, thread etc...) while the video (not a video of stills) will show how to do...
And now it's back to $5.99.
Thanks guys. I don't know what happened but it is OK today.
I'm having a problem accessing the main forum page. When I open the page it jumps to an error message, something about an invalid re-direct. "Invalid Redirect URL (http://flyanglersonline.com/bb/)"...
Horse tail hair works well for beetles, ants and other small fly legs and bodies. Using Mane I tied some SWHAPF and caught fish. Used clipped body hair as dubbing.
Dave,
Know how you feel. My main sewer line developed a blockage Tuesday and the water in my house was, shall we say, a little 'chunkier' than yours.
Hope not much was ruined.
While fish do not appear spontaneously they do have help. Water fowl often help transplant fish eggs and mature fish will move with water flow. As long as the pond constantly holds water there is...
While I no longer have my bike so I can't show it but I had two different ways to carry a 2 piece one was like a rifle, use a shoulder strap carried cross chest. Or mount a couple of pieces of PVC...
How about something like this? Scaled down with rubber cams to hold the leader securely but allow easy access and release but the same basic idea....
Maybe I'm missing something but doesn't fly fishing require two "hold" points? One for the rod and one for the line. I'm not trying to minimize the problems of amputees but if they can hold a rod and...
I use my forceps in place of the tie fast tool. The method is the same but I don't have an extra "shiny thing" hanging from my vest.
I went out to a local lake after work today and was talking with a guy while casting. He had just said, "You'll never catch anything on that fly rod!" when it almost jumped out of my hand. This was...
On the petition web page is this note:
#Day 2-over a hundred signatures but Joan is feeling uneasy with the subject and has asked us to stop.
For this reason alone I chose not to sigh the...
Thanks, Jim.
Booze Quotes I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

When the water warms the Crappie head into shallower water as going deep is not required during the spawn. Crappie do hit surface flys anytime, I've caught them mid summer with hoppers.
Why are...
I have an inflatable kayak and hate it. I find it hard to get out of (getting in is just a controlled fall) and, because it's so wide, I find it very hard to paddle with a normal (double blade) kayak...
I fish still waters because that is all that is in my area. I have become proficent in still water and am not used to moving water but, when I have the chance, I'll fish streams and rivers. I just...
