Scott, you don't mess around there man! Good work!
Ray, I'm really a big fan of the High & Dry capes. They have some really nice colors (my main reason for using them) and, if you take a gander at our comparison chart in the post there, you'll see...
No negatives per se. We did a review on it and the Apex a while back: http://www.flyfishfood.com/2013/12/wolff-vise-reviews.html Good vises...
I'm a believer in balanced flies -- especially damsels. Did a write up last year and a tutorial for my go-to damsel pattern: http://www.flyfishfood.com/2014/05/belly-flop-balanced-damsel-fly.html

Very nice Scott! Looks like you upgraded some lighting there...
Sorry to hear about that Ray. One thing I've found with UV resins and foam (with markers) is that a good coat or two of white or pearl acrylic paint on the foam body before you do anything else, will...
Byron,
That's a character from TV commercials called "Captain Obvious". It's a pretty funny line of commercials actually. They're just razzing you....
Allan, I was of that opinion until the last couple or three years. I had really just been focusing on saddles and they were getting smaller and smaller and the size range seemed limiting. So I think...
Should be current prices and "better" is a relative term. To each his own what constitutes "better". We just break it down based on cost per unit benefit, so to speak. For some people, paying a lot...
Good question Bob. No, we did not include tailing material. If you read through the lengthy post there, it explains why. But in a nutshell, they all had relatively similar amounts and sizes of spade...
Just catching up with reading posts today. I nominate this for post of the year. Pert near spit soda out my nose...
Hehe, yeah, someday. ;)
So flashforward to 2013/2014....Youtube via Google Hangouts works well for this and we've been doing it now for a while on our Fly Fish Food channel/website...
That's actually a really good question. I'll chime in with a few points. As some of you know, my cohort Cheech and I bust out a tutorial video every now and again. If you watch our videos, we're...
Nicely done Scott. So for anyone who's fished a USD pattern, what makes it land hook-point up?
Not like that, but it's not a bad idea. Good looking bugs though...
That's actually really cool. I love the idea on the tail. I bet it could rustle up some fish. Speaking of the gut bomb, we actually tied and fished a damsel version of it. Never did a post or...
No, that wouldn't work. But this is a variation I spun up to use this spring on the Skwala waters.

Just curious how many people know this pattern and if anyone has had experiences (good or bad). FWIW, I did a short write-up of it with an SBS video for anyone interested. It's a good little pattern...
Here are a few we've done in the past while:

Hans, if you need some help or ideas and options on how to move and/or change hosting, let me know...
Scott, the tail and wing with that Woodchuck is gorgeous. Nicely done.
Nice fly, as usual, Hans. I really enjoy your tying style. I'm with you on the hook style choice. As an art form, tying allows us to choose the hook as part of the design as it comes into play just...
So I've heard rumors that snowshoe hare is getting difficult to source right now. Anyone else hear or see that? I have a good supply, so I haven't been too worried. But IMO, if you can get the real...
