Perhaps you are trying to keep the bobbin cradle in the same place all the time. If that's the case, you might prefer to do what many do. Tighten the cradle so that it can rotate around the vise...

Joe, thanks for sharing that link. Beautiful work.
Hi, Norm. Yes, you're right. Using fewer wraps is a matter of choice. And skill. A good tyer will not need a lot of wraps to, for example, secure tinsel to the hook. Or hackle. Or whatever. Me,...
I love my Ekich bobbin. Worth the price to me for sure. I use fewer wraps, less thread than I did with regular bobbins. I love the amount of tension it holds and I love the weight of the bobbin. ...
Betty Hiner ties that pattern up really well, too!
Thanks for the info, flybinder.
flybinder, have you tried it in really cold weather yet? I'm wondering how it does.
Good for you, Bob! That's a great day for sure. I bet they'd enjoy trying their hand at casting, too.
You gotta love those milky veils!
Every so often I see "Beaverkill Pins" on ebay.
Here's one:

That same site has instructions. I have no idea whether it's ok to post them here since they look like a tutorial so check your...
single foot on guide faces the grip, not the tip
For starters, they've got a new pennant to hang from the rafters!
I've got one and I like it, especially the fact that it comes with a case and both clamp and pedestal bases. The rotary feature works well and the jaws work well for most hooks. My only problem is...
It was my thread and I asked to have it pulled because it was hijacked by namecalling, fingerpointing, self-important, non-fishing, junk. I'm always amazed when people don't seem to care that there...
Absolutely hysterical. :lol:
Trout, any kind, any time.
Jason, try a day with a 5 or 6 wt rod and a shorter leader and see how that feels compared to how you're doing it now.
I believe it when guys say they stand up on their SOT kayaks but the things aren't really designed for standing and I sure wouldn't buy one if that's what I planned to do with it. I'd get a canoe...
No, pspaint. Don't want to deal with the circus. Ontario tribs midweek in December is my idea of a good time with a Comet. Enjoy that chenille!
Try using it for something like a Comet. Silver beadchain eyes for weight, pink krystal flash for tail, that chenille for body and pink spey hackle or any long pink soft hackle as collar just behind...
For dry flies, try beaver dubbing. It's great.
For flashy/steelhead/panfish/gaudy/heavy flies, try Ice Dub. Great stuff. It draws the attention.
I've got the same Pentax Optio as Bamboozle and I like it a lot for on the stream and even underwater. It sucks for macro though. Great camera and older models are available on ebay for great...
I use swimming nymph hooks to tie the [url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw/112398fotw.html:0dd1b]Tube Midge Larva[/url:0dd1b] which is a Fly of the Week here and also to tie damselfly...
I emailed Elkhorn once some questions once about a rod and got a response from Brian within an hour. I ended up buying one of their rods and it's pretty much the only one I'm using this year. ...
