Part one works fine here. Perhaps you could right click and save the file to your hard drive before viewing. If not, drop me a note and I'll e-mail it to you.

I've caught several bass over the years that still had a previous meal in their mouth/throat when they took my fly/lure.
Two in particular stand out.
While unhooking one that I caught in a...

It was the late Mike Verduin of the Dallas Fly Fishers who taught me to tie woven bodied flies. Mike's "Woven Woolly" is known to most fly tyers here in Texas. The weaving technique that Mike...

I always get a kick out of some "new" tying material that hits the market when I have been using it for years while purchasing it in a craft store.
