Hi all,
Has been a long time since I commented on this or any other board. Here's the deal on fly line cracking just above the leader butt/line connection. It's simply a matter of the butt...
Hi Tyronefly,
Here's the website of the man who shot the videos and is the source of both videos and DVDs. www.flytyingdvds.com You can cherry pick the patterns you want, a DVD will be burned...
Hi Dan,
Whiting doesn't advertise these birds because he can't raise them fast enough! Check with some major shops that carry a heavy inventory of fly tying stuff. If your favorite shop already...
Hi lastchance,
Thanks for those nice words!
Measure the wing width at its widest point near the tip of the feather.
I never use "Fairy Dust" on my flies. Only Gink for about 30 years now. ...
Hi lastchance,
I have been using hen neck hackle tips for wings on duns and spinners for about twenty years. The only time I've had a hen hackle tip spinner or dun wing break is when I was in too...
Hi Ray,
What you describe is what drove me to do all my own dying. The colors (even black) can be fixed so they don't bleed or come off on your fingers.
It's a simple fix; a. ...
Hi Darryl,
I ran into the same problem when I fished this hatch in PA a few years ago. Try mixing a tiny amount of orange dye with the yellow, or first dye to yellow then mix a weak dye bath of...
Hi Hans,
Don't know where you are getting "thread wrapped half way down the hook". It's a quill body RS 2 with mottled hen back for the tailing. I tie them in four diffferent body colors.

An oldie but goodie,
Go to your nearest drug store and purchase a small bottle of Glycerin. Bring it home and mix it half and half with water in another small bottle. A few drops rubbed into...
Hi Bob,
The little Point Of View camera used to make the videos was a rental from an L. A. studio and was wired directly to a tape recorder. They cost a few thousand $s. It's very hi-tech...
Hi Badger,
Go to www.videoventures.com. You can select any pattern you want to be burned to a DVD and sent directly to you!
Good luck,

Don't have a web site, but you can view my flies and art work at: www.southcreekltd.com. That's Mike Clark's web site.
Merry Christmas!

I use hen hackle tips for the wings on all my dry may fly patterns. I also use hen hackle for the hackle collar on some dry flies that I fish in very smooth water. I do this for the tiny movement...
Can't sit quiet on this one. NEVER soak your quills in anything that readily mixes with water. Soaking in water is all that's needed. If you use anything like hand cream or glycerin (both of which...
Hi John,
1. The jaws. There's a 'sweet spot' for any size hook. The smallest hooks (24-18) should be placed near the tips, but NEVER at the very tip. As hooks get larger in size they should...
Hi John,
Does your vise have the green logo "A. K.'s Fly Tying Tools" on the C-clamp or pedestal base?
