Not sure if this is a good thing - but it probably is the intent of flyfishing.
Over the winter, I tied a dozen black ants. Well it came to be June so fast and I tossed them on some slow moving...
Without fail - immediately following my manufacturing of my lanyard, the weather has turned beautifully cool. 59 a night - very low humidity and mid 70s during the day!
I am going to try it...
Just to let everyone know, I recently acted upon an article by George E. Emanuel regarding making your own fly fishing lanyard.
This was prompted by the very humid and hot weather we have...
Hey folks. May need some help on the Farmington next week. I have a business trip up to Windsor and might shoot on down there for a half day. Looking for where to go - parking spots, fishing...
Something very cool to do while you are at work the day before a holiday at 2:42 in the afternoon is to Google Earth your favorite fishing spot. For streams, it shows you how the stream continues or...
Mike,
Well done! A beautifully tied fly. Very inspiring to a beginning tier.

I am truly ready to go this Saturday in SW PA. Yes I could have fished the DHALOs but too busy. This being Easter weekend and time off from work - I am ready to go. I already have the Jeep packed!...
Anthony,
What exactly is an electronic bit(e) alarm? With all due respect, am I to understand that your flyfishing consists of electronic devices?
Anyhow - best advice.
A lot is two words...
Fish N Nick,
That was my ultimate goal - a display case of the fly. I could use some help finding some instructions on doing that.
Hans - went to your site but could not find the mackay...
Thanks all. Here are some comments:
I found horse hair from my horse of course!
Truth be told, my wife's horse of 23 years just died on Thursday and it is customary in her English riding...
Has anyone used these? And where can I get the best prices?
Thanks,

Is there a use for horse hair (the hair from the tail) in fly tying?

AKA - Thanks Bro.
rookie - Sorry don't get out to the yough to fish.
Thwack - thanks a ton for the links!
Ron Mason - thanks - I will try the dace.

thanks folks!

I don't know of any but I was going to try the dropper rig setup this year and that is a question I would probably have at some time.
Allan - Thanks.
I have just been given a deer tail for tying and am looking for ideas. I fish mostly small streams in SW Pa and wanted to try some dries too.
Soliciting ideas.
Thanks,

Peter F,
i too use krystaldub and like it a lot. It has just enough of the hint of a glint, as Dick Talleur would say, to make it interesting.

Dr. Bob,
If you are familar with...
Dr. Bob,
Where did they tie the strip of mylar or white in? If it is something like a zug bug or prince, there is a white biot tied in already I believe. Is this tied onto the back?
Thanks,...
Jim,
Great idea and even I can afford a dollar.
Jason,
I was going to tie the Too Simple Ray Charles fly and did not have ostrich herl.
Also, since I am new to tying wanted to know where the aftershaft feathers are? Is there a picture...
Looking for a Substitute for Ostrich herl in gray.
Thanks,
