Mike,
Welcome to the forum.

Another color variation, this one tied by Cal Bird, March 1991. Note his proportions, the finished fly is more robust, like a muddler.

I don't know if it's Grayling in general or just Yellowstone Grayling, but the latter never struck me as being much of a challenge. Taken quite a few over the decades on hopper and yellow stimulators...
Ah' a Crystal Carey - Stove Pipe.
Nice find Scott,
That'll fool a lot of eastern sierra lake dwellers.

Very nice tying room and inventory but I had to stop watching it...

First GaryJ147 about a year ago and now you Jack.
You guys should look each other up.
Enjoy your new home, Dave
I got the hack email message from FAOL sometime back and I see now Wildman has sent me a p.m.

Here's something to pull behind it.

Byron,
Good Call.
This probably predates your joining this site and I don't know how many are aware that Terry was a member here. Quite a few mornings when I logged on I'd see he was already...
Why? I'd love to give you some technically driven tying answer, but that simply wouldn't be true.
I tie a mix of Saltwater, Steelhead and Trout files. But that's not really the reason I tie on the...
Guess that's the end of Catfishhunter.....:cool:
I joined a couple back in '99 - '01 and it seemed like more of a community / relationship building device than having any actual impact on my tying or finding a pattern that was useful. Early on, it...
Congratulations on finally finding your new western home.

Tongue in cheek UJ,
It's a demonstration, not a test. We're talking about Echo right? So the YouTube pitch / demonstration worked.

I couldn't tell you if the one out here ( which is not a dedicated fly show ) is on the decline or not, I was fishing.
