Qk, that is the size I like to tie, a number 10, head chain eyes, and some hair. Red thread on hook shank with a white wing, just past the bend.

My backyard, with an air rifle. Not protected here in Texas. ;-)
Danny, et. al.,
I have been laid up with a hurt back for the last month and have not been able to complete my flies. I am sorry to have kept you waiting. I was hoping that I would get better...
Wally World should sell Black Lights in your area. They do in mine. Look in the lighting department.
If you want some real fun, drop to a 3wt.
That is amazing!
Good looking fly!Makes one wish they had some Guinea flight feathers.
Jeffro,
I think I might understand what you are asking. What makes a full skin worth the price of $120-200 versus a saddle that only runs about $50 in a Grade 1 (both are examples from the...
As one who also raises chickens (but not for feathers), I am surprised that you could get quality, long saddle hackle in 10 months. I would think it would take longer than that, based on my limited...
I have also found good hackle and prices at http://www.collinshacklefarm.com/
Whay would one use Buffalo Hair for is tying? I have some and am not sure how to best use it. I am guessing that I could use some of the longer pieces to tie streamers (some is about 6" long). Any...
My full turkey skin came from a taxidermist. Someone dropped it off to do something with and later changed their mind. I get some great and unusual things at times. Does anyone know what to do...
I will play along. Not sure what I will tie yet.

My flies went out today in the mail.
That looks good! I'll take a dozen ;-) Really, it should catch lots of fish.

And many of us might not use budget equipment if we all had some company sponsoring us to fish. If we, of more modest means or who choose to spend our hard earned $$ elsewhere, had a big company...
You go! I am all about low cost fishing.
Gray,
I am "close" to Temple at about an hour to an hour and a half. April should be good.

After a long absence, I will take the last spot.
Is there still room to join? If so, I will tie something in the smallish (14-18 ) range tbd.

What technique does this statement refer to: "At the bend tie in the pre-dubbed loop that was created using the Leisenring dubbing technique." I don't know this technique and might be interested in...
