    OOOOooooohh. Huh. I guess I just need to practice. It's just frustrating, since it didn't seem to be an issue before.

    OK, so I feel like a rube. The problem was that I've been wrapping the hackle in the same direction as the thread. You really gotta go the opposite direction to get it right. DUH!

    Dry Hackle Help

    It's been about six months since I've tied any dry flies other than elk hair caddis. As a matter of fact, I only recently started tying again after a layoff due to rotator cuff surgery. I'm...

    Never shave the day of a fishing trip. The shiny chin scares fish away.

    If you're fishing from a boat for any reason, you MUST stop and get donuts. Otherwise, expect to get skunked.

    An Atta-Boy for Dr. Slick

    Many of us are familiar with Dr. Slick tools, I'm sure. They need no introduction here, but just in case, they sell quality fly tying tools and streamside accessories. They're most known for their...

    I use the cocoons clip-ons and I love 'em. They don't fall off if (when) I bump into something because of the way it hooks on the eyeglass frame. They work really well, too.

    I prefer a tussle bug or San Juan Worm under my hoppers. As for the hopper itself, I've used tan, yellow, green and white. The white one didn't get much action, but the others were all about the...

    That's a great idea, but there's one thing to consider. The type, color and size of the critters where you live are much different from the ones here in my neck of the woods. Hopefully, someone will...

    I agree that floats have a place in a stillwater arsenal. I use a #6 hoppicator in orange, yellow or chartreuse, and it works great for depth control. It also catches fish on it's own once in a...

    Just a hint for tying the sowbugs:
    Squish 'em flat. Sowbugs have a flatter, broader back than scuds, so squish 'em! I recommend googling "jeremy hunt original sowbug"

    I thought Petey was an American Bulldog. He seemed too big to be a pitbull. But hey, what do I know. I was just a gleam in Daddy's eye until 1971!

    For warm water, I take #10 and #12. Any bigger than that will result in lots of misses. Any smaller, and you start hooking the really small, pesky bream.
