It is also the best advice I was ever given: "Save your fork"

Well, Maybe his book Rubber Legs and White Tail Hairs would have been the better suggestion. But I was thinking Real Ponies had the piece "How to Go Splat". It is the definative article on how to...

Hope is the thing with feathers... -Emily Dickenson
So take hold of that hope, pluck a few of those feathers and tie up some very hopeful flies.

Ohiotuber,
My apologies. I am too meek to even consider trying for a swbg so I didn't consider that.

There is no additional Saltwater fee/license required in Ohio. I believe Indiana, West Virginia and Michigan are the same. You can fish all the saltwater you can find for free! ...

I came across something called Tentacles in the clearance bin of my fly shop. Extremely small rubber (silicone?) leg material. I'm going to try a piglet-boat. I know that it's heretical, but what...
I remember a news story from about 15 years ago, when jet-skis were first becoming popular.
A guy had rented one in the Chicago area and taken it too far out from shore. He ran out of gas and the...
Bendable, Moldable
Sounds like a piece of wire connecting the two hooks. Just my opinion, but I think a red hook would look great as the second.

Blue Gill,
Thanks for starting this thread. I have wanted to replace the line on my 4wt as well. While mine isn't that slow, I think I have found good advice here.
I just found Scientific...
Sorry, didn't mean to come off as a know-it-all.
Almost every comment mentioned what was used, or bought at a fly shop. I'd be willing to bet the majority of flies sold don't go through fly...
To all who wonder about the validity of the study
It is the most commonly SOLD. Not the most effective or most fished. How many multi-packs include an Adams and/or a Lefty's Deceiver? How about...
I just tied PT Nymphs, but (as usual) I changed something. I used a tail feather from an African Grey Parrot. I now have a #12 and #18 BRIGHT RED pt nymph. Maybe it's an AGPT Nymph now. I can't...
I prefer to collect Bozo hair from the wild. The season is short, and the license expensive though. So I may have to resort to road-killed specimans.
If only I could come up with a good use for...
#20? #22? #32?!?
Makes me glad I fish warm-water. A #12 is small and #18 is tiny. 50% of my fishing is #10 and #12, another 30% is #8.
Trout guys must have better eyes.

JC,
I've often debated the difference between education or skill and talent. To me Talent is something you're given. Skill is something you develop.
The best fly-tyers (piano players,...
I admire you spirit and willingness to serve. I think you might scare people off with too many symbols and scriptures. But that is their decision, not yours. You will find genuinely hungry and...

Two co-workers raved about it and my friend (never tried fruitcake) said, "It was great, I don't know what the jokes are all about."

Maybe I'm not thinking clearly yet, but doesn't Hippourus sound suspiciously like the greek root hippos? That would make the first fly a horsefly, wouldn't it? By definition only perhaps.

Not sure where to post this, but my wife made the "Grandma's Fruitcake" recipe from What's Cooking. It was easy to make, it made several fruitcakes, and was very tasty.
Just wanted to pass along...
