Ha, I guess I should read the entire original post. :p
Here's one of the things I came up with.

You catch fish on large and small versions. I like to go big personally. I tie mine in olives, browns, mixes of the two, black, brown/yellow, whatever meets my fancy that day.
I know that Daiichi makes one too. I just can't recall the model number
I used to use a rubber patch to straighten my leader until one day I noticed the leader had visible damage from doing this. I didn't have any real feel while using the rubber patch and pretty much...

Has anyone used these? They look like a good idea for someone who doesn't have the means to make their own...
There are definately plenty of coyotes in PA, and some of them inhabit areas that people would quite surprised about. The cougar debate has gone on for years. The Game Commission denies the...
Has anyone ever used caulk saver foam or I think some might call it backing rope for popper bodies. I believe it comes in different sizes and in 20 foot lengths. It compresses fairly easy so I'm...
PM sent to you.
Toss big streamers for big fish. Higher water has always seemed good for the big boys.
I always suggest for a person to stay with a "premium" line. They really do make a difference. With that said, brand name becomes a personal thing and can change depending on the application and...
No they aren't. There are actually a couple of different sizes on the feather from the tip to the quill. I would imagine they would dye easily as well.
I got a chance to play with some of my fly tying stuff last night. While inspecting a pheasant wing I noticed the biots. Duh, I said to myself, all birds should have these. So i broke out the vice...
Clay,
I know your're trying to save a buck. Let me put my two pennies into the jar and do what you will with it. I have tried all the options of screw in studs except for the motorcross ones in...
I'd like to suggest a Redington RS4 in a 6wt. I'd pair it with a decent but inexpensive reel of your choosing and on that I would put either a Scientific Anglers GPX in 6wt. or a RIO Grand in 6wt.
If the store isn't that far away, I'd take it back and ask for a refund. If a bobbin won't allow thread to flow through it smoothly without damage, its useless in my opinion.
I have a pair of Simms boots with the same Vibram sole that you just purchased. While I wouldn't say that they allow my boot to stick to the rocks or that they're as good as felt with studs, they...
I find it hard to believe that anyone is going to look so closely at a fly that they will be able to tell that it is ied with materials that are illegal. I say let the children play, tie your flies...
A BB or pellet gun has always been my choice for squirrel control. Quick, quiet, and effective. Just be sure of your target and the things behind and beyond it.
At this point in my tying career, every new pattern that I see has me excited. Well almost. Some just don't quite tickle my fancy.
I would look to the left side bank in the photo. It looks like there are undercut banks as well as the sun creating a bit of a warmth factor. Another spot would be the inside of the bend where the...
I see now. I didn't realize that dubbing brushes were made with wire. I see that you use different guages of wire. I'm assuming that you get this from the hardware store or somewhere like radio...
Thanks for the replies.
RickZ, I'm not sure I follow you. Can you explain it better. To help you, I don't know that I understand why you choose one for unweighted flies and the other for...
From what I gather there are three ways to make a dubbing loop of sorts. You can make a dubbing loop, split the thread, or make a dubbing brush. As far as I can tell the reason to do any of these...
Thanks guys. I appreciate the tips and suggestions.
