Well, Arkansas is out of it range, but it looks like a Bull trout.

The design of the topknot feathers on a quail are a unique and interesting. I cannot imagine what they are supposed to do.

Has anyone come up with a use for them in fly tying?

The best tweezers I have seen were put out by A K Best. I saw Aaricks in West Yellowstone using a pair and I never believed a pair of tweezers could be so handy. I don't think they are made any...

A two mouthed trout. One below the other. Healthy fish otherwise.

The Brookie population on Henrys is very good. I caught a lot of them this summer. In fact, up until the final two weeks I was there, I had caught more brookies than hybrids. In June, I caught a...

Awhile back there was some discussion about Angelina being a substitute for LiteBrite or Crystal dub, or Angel Hair. I bought a number of packages of the stuff and feel it was a good bargain,...

Amazing. How could he figure that out. It looks a laser machine of some sort did it, and he used a cigarette lighter.

The stuff bonds at 220 degrees or some such tempature. I bought a couple of packages and it is thicker than Icedub, more like like LiteBrite or Angelhair. You get a lot for the money compared to...

A couple of years ago I used Frog Hair during the season and kept all the old spools after the tippet was gone. Threw them in a basket. Loved the stuff. Anyway, I counted up the spools one day and...

I wish I had known about this two weeks ago. I was testing out a new pram. Things were going fine when I decided to eat the banana that I had brought along. I shifted from the middle bench to a...

On some hooks that are not super brittle, I have had no problem with straightening the eye with a pair of dykes. Just squeeze it on line with the shank. I leave a slight downward turn of the eye...

I am still confused by the second picture. The one with the hole in the "jaws" like the shape of a bullet. If this is a set of jaws, then you insert the hook point through the hole and then snug up...

Real interesting looking vise. Certainly not traditional. What is the purpose second vise head? And the "jaws" with the bullet shaped hole in it?

I wonder if the buoyant nature of the deer hair would flip the pattern on its back. Not that this would be necessarily bad, it might even be good in some instances. Some patterns have been weighted...

From the pictures in the article, the Punch yarn looks more "fuzzy" than other embroidery yarn. Is that the appeal?

The "core" I was referring to in my post is the woven material type. The Crazy Glue splice would not be feasible on a mono type core found in clear lines. Would the Whitlock splice work on a sold...

Last summer a friend brought old copies of Flyfisherman Magazine to our fish camp. In going through a 1996 issue, I came across an article entitled "Natashe's Crazy Glue Leader Splice". I gave it a...

I found the article on making a dubbing spinner. I have made a number of similiar spinners out of various knobs that I have obtained here and there. The most unique from the wheelhouse from an old...

I have a friend who make dubbing twisters out of coat hangers. Its a little harder than it looks to get the thread attachment point in line with the shaft of the twister so that it turns smoothly;...

A fly that has worked well for me for carp is an easy tie. Size 10 regular hook, sparse grouse or partridge tail, and a dubbed red squirrel body with guard hairs and underful mixed. That's it.

I cannot recall where I saw the article, but a tyer was tying small chironomids and using three superhair fibers for the bodies. He was using two of one color and one of another to make segmented...

I have recently been trying to downsize some bugger patterns and was having the same problem until I found a Whiting "midge" saddle in my gear. With these very small barbed hackles I was able to...

This morning on "Flytying the Anglers Art" Leroy Hyatt used a slip of turkey breast feather for the back on a waterboatman. He did so because he said they are naturally shiny and irridescent. It...

As mentioned by LowBudget, there are marabou feathers. A friend of mine in Texas gave me a hide that contained naturally "mottled" brown marabou feathers. I don't know if this is common in wild...

According to the 1970 and 1974 editions of "Flies of the Northwest" put out by the Inland Empire Fly Fishing Club the fly described and pictured above is the St Joe Favorite and not the St. Joe...
