just giving you guys the heads up

I always purchase my flies from here and i really like their quality, great site, great service.
looks like your right where I'm at. I don't get a chance to work on it much during the week so i'm hoping to maybe get the guides placed this weekend.
I'm thinking about getting a different...
I don't care one bit, the more the better.
great replies guys....
at this point I have put the reel seat together, mounted it onto the blank,and also glued the cork grip on, so the whole handle is put together and on the blank. Next step...
I'm confused on the different type of reel seats out there, like up locking, and downlocking. How do I know which kind I have?
I just picked up the fly line for 9 bucks. I needed a 5wt line for a rod and thought i'd give this cheap line a try. Pretty excited to see how it compares. I'm gonna wait a see if the fly rod...
just making sure i'm finding the right thing. When i check for spine....if i rotate the blank with my fingers and apply pressure, it seems to want to jump into a spot. i marked the spot with some...
will do, its in the mail
thanks guys for the info, I'm looking forward to getting started, its nice to know there is a place like this i can come for help.
Hi everyone, I've decided that I want to take a stab at building my own fly rod. After doing a little research it seems that people really like the hook and hackle blanks. I'm thinking about...
lol
I had similiar sucess on a nymph the other day. I thew a little floating bug pattern with all kinds of legs shooting off of it with a PT nymph coming off the back. 90% of the fish came off the...
no it was "powys curve" on Lycoming creek. I tried an ant pattern with no luck on hook ups. The fish were picky. I'd watch them come right up and nose my flies and then turn off. I feel like they...
Ok, I'm fishing this spot that was stocked a little over a week ago and has been fished pretty hard. Last night I'm there all by my self, no body to bother me. The fish are going crazy for...
Well I went out and tried the two fly rig. I used the hopper with a bead head and its funny cause all the action i got was off the bead head... so i was catching fish i wouldn't never have caught......
thanks for the replies guys, good information. I'm from northcentral PA. I do a lot of trout fishing this time of year. I went out yesterday and couldn't pinpoint a pattern that the fish were...
I'm thinking about starting to consistantly rig up with 2 flys, it almost seems the more the better. how many of you do this and how... dry with wet, both wets? What seems to be the way to go,...
thanks for the reply, i see what you guys are saying. I normally use a nail knot into a tapered leader, but you guys put a loop on the end of the mono after a few inches and then do a loop to loop...
Could someone post a picture of ths set up, i'm not sure i understand what it's supposed to look like...the one with the mono and then a loop
Just wanted to thank everyone here for all the Bluegills flys that were sent to me. I have used nearly all of them and they all work great. I'm still getting packages in the mail in responce to a...
I see some talk on knot tying tools for nail knots...I've been tying a nailless nail knot for all of my line/leader connections. An old fly fisher showed me and i've used it ever since. takes about...
i agree its not about catching but i feel catching makes it a lot more fun... gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment when all things come together and a fish rises to your fly....
I finally got off the trout streams and made it out to an old farm pond that i like to fish. Tonight reminded me of how much i like warm water fishing. It was one of those nights where you couldn't...
haven't read many on instruction
But a great story is "A River Runs Through It"
I love Maclean's style of writing
