Don't overlook the rest-period before the race and the weight carried.
Since it says "fishing hat", not "fly fishing hat", I'd have to say that one of the most popular hats in many areas is the John Deere baseball hat.
I'll be at Jeff's booth Saturday, 27 Jan., 12 noon.
What are the generic solvents for commonly used fly tying chemicals such as Fleximent, yellow vinyl cement, Sally Hansons, Shoe Goo, Gloss cement, Soft Gel, Griff's cement, Flex Coat, etc.?
Parachute Adams and Gray wulffs, size 14.
I use the rotary function as much as I can, but not for a floss body. Try the technique I've explained. If you don't like it, don't use it.
The repeatative stroking is what keeps the floss even. It's not practical to do this concurrently with rotating the fly.
Make sure youe under body is smooth. Use a short piece of floss, no more than 10 inches. Be sure your hands are clean. Don't use the rotary function of your vise. Stroke the floss repeatedly while...

Got mine. Thanks!
I'm planning on arriving Thursday afternoon and leaving early Sunday. Thatis, if the Roscoe Campground is open. What are the hot flies during the last week in Sept?
Strongly recommend you take a thermometer to check water temperature.
Thanks to all who had anything to do with the Roscoe FI. It was one of the nicest fishing experiences I've had, and I've had a few.
"Let it rain". Don't remeber who performed it.
Tyvek (Post Office Priority Mail envelope) and permanet magic marker.
Fished Deer Creek last four evenings. On three nights, fishermen were standing in three of my four favorite spots. On the fourth night, it was four for four.
Got mine. All nice.
Volunteer for a stream survey if you get a chance. You'll also see how an insect color changes in different parts of the stream, among other things.
Got mine today. All were nice. Looked like a lot of them should catch fish also. Diane, how come you sent me back an extra of mine? I thought that the Swapmeister got the left overs.
For packing in to lakes, I like a bag of rocks with parachute cord. Stops the wind drift. Obviously you pick up the rocks at the lake.
Got mine yesterday. All were nice. Good job RW.
Finaly got motivated and put the flies in the mail today. I think they may also catch fish.
What are the Seatle Seahawks' colors?
