Daiichi.
After tying on the mustad, tiemco and dai riki, I found Daiichi hooks to be the most consistent in quality and strength.
Saturday, 75 degrees, beautiful - trimmed up the bushes, thatched the lawn, fertilized - everything ready for spring.
Monday morning - wake up to a 1/2" of snow, with a low of 25 degrees last...
Fishing is pretty good, but the water is running high at 3000cfs. It's still wadable, but you need to be careful. Having a PFD and wade stick are good things, as well as a tightly sinched wading...
this is the exact set up I use for my photographs, with exception of the white background.
it works very well. I also use a piece of aluminum foil under the fly to bounce light on the underside of...
Giorgio benecchi is 10/0 - 12/0 strength, which would be in the range you are wanting.
It's great thread, especially for midge tying and making small thread heads. Feather Craft is one place you...
I wish you luck. I ran the New Mexico Trout conclave raffle for two years, it was a lot work but after it was over, definitely worth it.
With 150 slots and hoping to fill those with a dozen or so...
like others have said, taking a few classes will help. The reason I say this, you learn certain techniques of tying material in, tying flies etc. that you don't get from step by step instructions....
for those of you who use the kiwi muddler, this seams easier to tie - does it provide good results in trout waters? I haven't used muddlers much but enjoy tying them - and my next tying class I'm...
Thank you so much for the websites and info! I'm hoping I'll get a few hours to get out and do some fishing. My wife and I are taking the kids and doing the Sea World, Zoo and Wild Park stuff, but we...
Hello everyone. I will be traveling to San Diego next week and would like to fish either the surf or bay. I'll only have half a day and I'm bringing a 9wt saltwater setup. Any suggestions on where I...
now that I tie, using a store bought pattern that I can tie (cdc wing comparadun) or any other store bought pattern, I am ashamed to say when it works (as it did on the Frying Pan in October.

just finished "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban," starting "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Read the first three books in a few weeks, I never saw myself reading these, but must say...
It could be too much hair, so the thread has nothing to bind down and make stand up. It could also be where you are tying the hair in. Do you clip the butt ends before tying in or after? I prefer to...
I place the net inbetween my belt. No cords attached, that way if I do get snagged, it falls right away and doesn't do anything to me. Just have to be aware of it getting caught up at times.

what are the midge's bodies tied up with? Nylon paint bristle or a quill? I definitely like the ribbed characteristic created by this material!

I made my own a few years ago and it's the only thing I use to carry tools and tippet now. much easier to carry and much lighter than lugging around a pack or vest. I picked up the swivel clips at...
Karen,
it depends on where I'm fishing - San Juan, I carry two boxes (midge and leeches). Jemez, Pecos, Cimarron - 3 boxes(nymphs, dries, hopper/stones). a few Colorado spots, all six boxes I...

I like the 486-4 XP, with all the rods I've cast, I believe it to be one of the best, just behind the 586 SP. To me, they are dream rods to have in your arsenal.

bamboozle,
The pattern calls for one biot, and you can choose to tie it either curve up or down, just depends on how you like it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the great input! I think I am gonna go with the Vista C. It has good memory size, battery life and most features the Legends come with as well as the Map76 series. The screen seems easy to...
I'm looking at getting a GPS unit for hiking, fishing, driving and all the other stuff you can use these for. I'm looking at the Garmin Vista C. Has anybody used this model and if so, what are your...
Paul,
I emailed you last night in regards to the fundraiser. I would like to send some flies as well. Can you email me with your mailing address so I can send them to you. Thanks.
