Can fly tying scissors be sharpened? I suppose I shouldn't be so cheap and should go get another pair. these only cost $6-8 and have lasted several years.
I'm curious though and know other...
Warren, Might be important.....bass fishing occasionally, but generally in pursuit of panfish. Don't mind a bass straightening out a hook if I get to feel him/her on the end of my line. I almost...
The aberdeen are generally OK for length, but I'm looking for something with a shade wider gape for more hook clearance from the bodies. The aberdeen can be used by making a slit in the bottom of...

Ignoramus that I am, I haven't seen any black magic hooks and didn't find out much about them when I Googled them. Are B 6 to B 10 hooks the same as our #6-#10 hooks? All I saw in the catalogue I...
Anybody here got info on how to build a set of outriggers that a klutz might be able to follow. I've looked around a bit and may have to just purchase as set to install. I'm tired of sitting home...
I read the Arkansas and Texas weekly fishing reports and occasionally I find a fly there I've never heard of before. These flies are probably not new to some of you, so can someone point me toward...
Really hard to beat that kind of fun. I miss tubing. :-(
I use both the black and clear Sally's fingernail polish for various effects on my fly heads and such, but I guess I don't use it quickly enough to keep it "fresh". My polish gets thick and won't...
Y'all have come up with some good ideas. I'm going on with my soft anchor idea even though they may last only a short time. I found a couple of nylon camo sacks at Bass Pro for $4.99 ea. Other...
I'll probably always be a tyro when it comes to tying and fly fishing, but I do have fun.
Thanks for letting me hear that not everyone has to be an expert. Fishing for fun, what a unique idea!!...
Tom, I tied just one to see if I could do it and it was eaten by some kind of fish(bass,I suspect). He/she kept it.
Gotta make some more of those!! I thought my efforts looked terrible, but........
Tom or somebody, Are you talking about a 94833 or is there a 94933 Mustad hook. I can't seem to find it at the Mustad search page, and even Google keeps taking me to R30-94833 when I try to get...
Paddlers and fisherpeople, Read about using soft anchors and made two using old lead shot bags. Worked great on my yak, but deteriorated after a year. I need to find some durable sacks that will ...
Neil, Well said!! I've tried to explain that to some of my fishing buddies, but some of them just don't get it. Their goal is to put fish on the stringer. Some do "get it" and fishing with them...
RR, Dadgummit, I missed the boat again. One of these days I'm gonna get on board and make the scene at a Texoma event.

"It was 2:30 in the afternoon and all the things were done so its time to scratch the itch."
Wow, Rick. An 18"crappie would certainly scratch my itch!!! I've caught some good-sized crappie, but...
Sounds like a truly exciting trip, but I'll pass on the running from fires. Us one-leggers just aren't fast enough to outrun anything. :)
Glad you made an escape,whew!!

It seems that sometimes stuff I order comes on a spool with a hole too large to use with a bobbin. I have several spools of wire that would be much easier to use with a bobbin and I frequently...
Podcasts and video, truly more historical events on FAOL. I loved hearing some of FAOL's history from Deanna & seeing FAOL forging ahead into these new waters of communication. Seems to me it will...
Can someone point me to some aurora lumi skirt material? Sounds like something I'd like to try for night crappie and sand bass fishing. Googled it with no success.

Tom mentioned removing the underfur before bleaching. Does that mean the underfur to be used as dubbing should be bleached separately instead of bleaching the hide/fur and then combing out the...
Really great stuff as usual, Eric. However, my feeble brain is a bit overwhelmed as is normal when deciphering salmon fly tying instructions.
I do love them though!!
Thanks,
Rodger
