Lookin' good Rick! They look like they might be good for deeper water with the bead-head and wire ribbing. Glad they worked well for you!

ol' blue,
I received the package of flies yesterday. Like the other tyers, I'm impressed by the speed of delivery. You must have really hustled to get them into the mail, also.
I gotta say...
ol' blue,
The "H" flies are in the mail. Thanks again for hosting this fun swap.
Jeff
I can tie them all; they're mostly made up of saddle hackles, so I have the materials. I'm probably not of the caliber of most of the tyers on this swap, but they should come out pretty well. ;)
I...
Greg,
If "H" is still in question, I can tie up a set of "Hard-Hackle Worm" flies (see FOTW archive). I received one from a previous swap, and it's a good warmwater fly.
Thanks again for...
The Viva flies are on the way. Thanks for hosting this swap!
Recipe:
Hook:#10 Tiemco 2x long 1x strong
Thread: Black Orvis 6/0 poly
Tail: Fluorescent green embroidery yarn
Body: Black...
The "V" flies are tied. I plan to get them boxed and in the mail on Monday.

Quite right; "lime" does indeed start with an L. :oops:
Actually, that's good - I just remembered that I saw a British fly called the Viva that I wanted to try out on our local lake. Please put me...
ol' blue,
I'd like to join in the fun - please put me on the list to provide Lefty's Deceivers for the "L" pattern.
Thanks,
Jeff
I'd like to chime in too - you really painted a vivid picture of your experience on that new fishing spot. It was great fun to read!

Hey Rick,
Get better, go fish some, then post the quotes when you feel better. BTW, thanx for posting the quotes in the first place; they're great fun to read!
Jeff
Wayne,
Thanks for asking this question; I was wondering this too.

Hi Dave,
I use one of the early inexpensive Humminbird SmartCast finders that use the transducer that can be tied to a spinning/casting line. What I do is tye the transducer to my kayak with a...
Hi Pat,
Like dunfly, I just use a single anchor. I'm often anchoring in water 25-30 feet deep and am also concerned about being swamped. That said, I believe Jim Hatch anchors at both ends of his...
Hi Mike,
I can say from experience that catching 2-3# (or greater) bass on your 2wt would be a blast.
You might be interested in reading the site of an expert in fishing for bass and panfish on...
How cool! I'd always read that a woolly worm is an attractor, not an imitator. You just proved otherwise. :)
Jeff
I fish (a lot) from my Old Town 'Dirigo 106' kayak. I've found it to be easy to transport, comfortable to sit in and stable to cast from. I like it! :)
Jeff
Another thought: Even though it may cost $600+ for a top of the line graphite rod, one can enjoy using it for a lifetime... Of course - that can also be true for a $50 rod. It's all good! :D

Orthoman,
I found a web page for Bear Creek Outfitters in Juneau. (http://juneauflyfishing.com/index.html) I believe that these are the folks you booked the excursion with. If I read it correctly,...
Orthoman,
Thank you for the detailed info! We're planning on taking a small-ship cruise, andI understand those don't generally offer as many excursion options. I'll check out Bear Creek Outfitters...
Hi Dave!
Nice meeting you.
I *usually* post in my sleep - but that's another story. :lol:
Seriously, I've seen your posts, and was thinking about changing my nickname to something...
I have two rods: a ~ 100 Scientific Angler 5wt from their combo, which I really learned to fly-fish with this last couple of years. It's been a great rod.
A few months ago I was given a G. Loomis...
Great story, Greg - kind of inspirational! :)
Jeff
Denny,
Thank you so much for your recommendation! I would indeed like to know more about Mr. Peck. I'll send you a message at your email address.
Sincerely,
Jeff
Hi All,
My wife and I are planning a cruise of the inside passage in Alaska for our 20th anniversary. We are hoping to take at least one day to do some fly fishing, but have no experience fishing...
