I keep my better tinsels in boxes - one is plastic the other a cigar box . Both have covers which are kept closed when not in use and are stored in cabinets to keep as much light from them as much as...

I bought my Standard in late 1980's . The only thing replaced in all that time is the delrin washers on the barrel . Absolutely the best vise I have seen or used ever and it is versatile for any hook...

I bought my first Spey rod in fall 2009 for Atalntic salmon fishing . Season opens June 1 and I hope to be proficient enough to use the rod effectively then .........Frank

Sounds like you guys had a great day . Sure is hard to beat a day fishing for Brookies . Some pics would be nice to see too ...........Frank

I use deer body hair on some Atlantic Salmon patterns precisely for the reason that the hair flares around the hook shank when correctly placed . I would think the hair you need is hair from bucktail...

Is the 3399A hook included in the new offerings ? This is a popular hook up here for Atlantic Salmon bugs .Thanks.......Frank

Ron: Congratulations to Vickie.That fly is very well done;amazing really for her first attempt.I know people who have been tying for 10+ years who have not done as well.........Frank
