Yeah, some of my flies look like that. I think I may take too much time tying though. It takes me about an hour to tie up about three or four flies. Hopefully I'll get better with time!

I want to join th fly swap this fall. And I have been catching fish with some of my misfits!

I know this isn't a Fly Tying thing... but one of our dogs had his ear torn (about three inches). My wife and I had to glue the ear everynight with surgical glue to keep it together so it could...

I suggested to my sife that she should at least try. When we take our canoe out this year, I'm going to want to FF. I told her she sould bait fish if sh wanted and I'd even bait her hook. She said...

I'm trying really hard to get my wife interested. She said she enjoyed the one time she did FF, but I can't seem to convince her to want to start fishing for real. I'm still trying!

I'm using a Sony laptop... IBM compatible. I would love to switch to a Mac. I think I heard that they are switching to Intel processors. Might want to check that out.

Well I caught a nice rainbow on my over hackeled parachute tan caddis and one on an over haired elk hair caddis. Fish didn't seem to mind. I also had a lot of misses on some of my other beginner...

Our church had a fly fishing cam this weekend. My pastor and his friend Rich instructed the 7 campers. What a great weekend!!! We started on Friday night with a casting workshop where Rich gave us...

I have one on my 6 weight. I really like it. In fact the guy at Cabela's actually recomended it over one of thier more expensive reels.

Thanks for all the advice. If I have one that really looks bad, I usually strip it and try again. I have the basic beginner problems... crowded heads, and sometimes hackle that looks a little too...

Very nice. It sure looks better than my 6' table!

Ok, I've been tying for about a month now. The quality of my finished fly has greatly improved, but some of my flies look a little sparse...or bushy. They are getting better and I know that it'll...

I use Pledge to clean the rod. Do you use something else to clean it then the wax to polish it?

If my memory is correct, you're not allowed to lasso a fish in Texas. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif

I called the Angler's Den and they said they would be getting some in about two weeks. Thanks for your help folks! You just made an 80 something man very happy.

I have a friend that is looking for a piece of urin stained female fox belly fur (no this is not a joke). He has been looking for this for years and insists the "modern day materials just aren't the...

How many of you folks tie your own leaders? I have been buying tapered leaders, but I was thinking that tying my own could save me a little money. I noticed on on of the large sporting good...

I think the Too Simple Elk Hair Caddis is pretty simple... if you look at the begginers fly tying secton of FAOL... they start out fairly easy and work thier way up. Did you start tying PAflyfisher?...

I have a Zephr vise. It's a model #2007 the "Crown Vise". I have no problems with it. My only complaint is that the adjustment knobs have to be turned relly hard to get the vise to stay in...

Most of you probably remember my post about my first trout on a Fly Rod rigged with a fly... that I tied. But I have to say my Dad has provided me with many memories. Dad's a little clumbsy... so...

I was about 13 and fishing by myself at a state park we were camping in. I was using a fly rod with bait at the mouth of a stream and decided to take a short-cut back to the camper. As I rounded...

Dad doesn't wade--he can't swim and he's not very coordinated!! I've seen him fall in a lake sitting in a lawn chair! LOL He uses a spinner, but likes to use bait. I think he would rather fish...

Since I've only been out with a Fly Rod twice, once at Jacobs Creek in Mt Pleasant and once on the Yough in West Newton. I would like to fish the Loyalhanna, but I try to go somewhere Dad can enjoy....

I work for Quikrete. Our office is behind St. Vincent College.

The area you're talking about on the loyalhanna, is that the FF only area?

Thanks everyone. I had the joy of telling everyone at work my "fish story" today. I'm really hoping to get out this weekend to try and do it again, maybe with a dry fly!!!
