Just another recommendation for the Peak Vise. I've had mine now for 4+ years as well, and other than a little tarnish on the brass... looks and works like brand new. I've never experienced any...

Not sure why everyone feels the need to trash these flies. Looks to me like they'd be killer on still and slack water. Obviously they aren't meant to replace traditionally hackled flies......

As others have said... Soft Scrub w/ bleach... nothing better. Followed up with an applicaiton of U-40 Cork Seal.

Forget about it.

Obviously Buddy thinks that maybe your vision is part of the problem. ;)

Anyways, my two cents. I rarely use anything heavier that 120 Denier thread. 120 denier thread is plenty heavy for almost...

Is this the source of the unidentified fly tying material used in the "hairy weenie" series of flies?

Thanks Grizzly Wulff, rizeye, and Paddy... The information is much appreciated and will hopefully be put to good use.

David, as Uncle Barry pointed out, the tanning process locks in the hairs on the hide - but even with tanned hides, you want to keep the dye bath temperature below 165 degrees F. (About 140 degrees...

I have a business trip to Longmont, CO coming up, which gives me a half day to fish. I'd like to fish somewhere in RMNP for Greenback Cutthroats. Anyone have any suggestions? It doesn't matter if...

LittleJ,

I don't know what sparkle emerger yarn is, but I use regular sparkle yarn for my caddis sparkle emergers. I just unwind the yarn and comb it out to straighten and remove the short...

The answer to your next question is - "Yeah, I got too much time...

I think what Normand is trying to say - in a not so subtle way - is that his name is Denny Rickards.

I think if you want to rib over the shellback, go for it. Denny Rickards is free to not rib...
