You can also use a butane lighter to heat the lead. Heat it a little on each side (I hold it with copper wire and make six 'passes' with the lighter on each side) and then let it sit for a couple of...

I always stay at Fulton's Lodge. You can fish in front of the lodge from the bank and they have an access down river at their rental house. I've never used a guide there but some good information on...

You can also use powder paint on mono eyes to make the eyes black, red or any other color. Here's a vid on a technique....

You make them yourself out of monofiliment such as Hard Masons 15# Mono. Here's a demonstration of one method. There are other methods as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlb_qnBq46Y

Last weekend I saw a shrimp pattern tied with UV Crystal Flash. When illuminated with a blue light it glowed for some time afterward. I was intrigued to say the least. Not sure how practical this is...

I've tied and fished pigboats and spinnerbaits. For those that haven't seen Ron Knight here's a link to a vid of him: http://www.youtube.com/user/FlyFishVideo#p/c/50AE753AD2F1453D/15/OBddrc9hM-g

If you want the how-to on this, travel over to New Braunfels this weekend for a class led by Kyle Hand. The FFF Gulf Coast Council is holding their Conclave at the New Braunfels Civic Center on...

Moved to NE Florida (Fernandina Beach) about a year ago and starting to get back fishing again - learning saltwater since I'm surrounded by it. Mainly Redfish and Trout but hope to fish for Pompano...

Here's three different flies:

Colby 'Pops' Sorrell's Suspended Shrimp: http://www.youtube.com/user/FlyFishVideo?feature=mhw4#p/u/1/qht71QDFdN4

Bob Popovic's Ultra Shrimp:...

Go to every fly fishing/tying show that you can. Sit and watch as many of the tyers as you can and ask questions. No matter how good a tyer you are, you'll always learn something at the shows.

I recently was shown the World Fishing Network (WFN) which is available on Dish and some cable systems. If you haven't seen it, check it out at http://www.wfn.tv/ . They have flyfishing shows as well...

To borrow and modify a phrase I once heard: " A clean tying bench is the sign of a sick mind".

My tying bench has been clean twice in recent history - when I packed it up to move and when I first...

...and after you've picked that reference rock that just sticks out of the water, place a $20 bill on top of it with a small rock to keep it from blowing away. If the water starts getting ready to...

Yup - Southeast

Great photos Steve. And thanks for the link to the Florida Council FFF Conclave! I see you're presenting there - I hopefully will see you there.

John Berry posts a regular water and fishing report for the White River System that can be read at http://www.berrybrothersguides.com/fishingreport.html . It will give you some information on the...

You didn't say when in October, but the first weekend of the month is the FFF Southern Council Conclave, a very large gathering of fly fishers with some great programs. Check it out if you're going...

I've never used a profile plate, but never felt the need for one. Early in my tying, I built myself a tying bench with a white background on it so that when I'm tying I see the bench. But if I'm...

I second the recommendation of Desert Solitaire by Abbey. A good read. If you're into history, TR-The Last Romantic is a great book about Teddy Roosevelt that I found really interesting.

Take a look at this one as well - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDgmjGtMgpI

You can use 0.022 trolling wire and it is easy to bend but holds it's shape well. I look forward to seeing what you're tying up.
I've made up a few fly rod spinnerbaits like those tied by Tom...

How tall are you looking for and how big of a flag. With that basic info, a mechanical engineer could calculate the loading for standard steel pipe (2 or 3 ") or galvanized pipe. A cap of some sort...

Ditto on the P-Touch. Greatest tool made. I also use it for the name & address on the outside since it's fairly waterproof. I also use it to label all my hook containers, fly tying materials, etc....

The new rule is definitely better - allowing the rules of the states to apply. Helps eliminate the 'patchwork' problem of different laws in different places. However, note that most states have...

Don,

You've fallen into a pretty good fly fishing area. I don't live in Texas anymore but there's at least two fly clubs in the Houston area: Texas Fly Fishers of Houston is a good resource to get...
