Tried it out last night, it was sweet. Very easy to tie and the little extra stiffness seems to lay out the dry flies a bit better? I don't have to tie it to mono so that isn't an issue.. look...
What do you recomend for the tippet to line connection and the tippet to fly connection? I am asking becuase I usually use an improved clinch for the fly, but hear it is not good when using...
and I think that is the important thing,,but you do have me thinking about grabbing a spool and giving it a shot...I might have to try an experiment, my buddy and I are fishing weds after work,, so...
I Think we are using the same philosophy Joni! I was thinking about using Flourocarbon for next Steelhead season since that is all subsurface fishing...But for the small streams around here for the...
This may be a dumb question, but!!! I bought some 2 lb mono to tie some furled leaders and thought why not use if for tippet as well? It has the exact diameter as Maxima at .005 and is at least...
I have some olive hares ears I think will be deadly??? Looking forward to trying a new experience,,,why limit yourself to just fishing at dusk? I am heading over mid morning, and hanging out untill...
This weekend is what I was planning (actually it was a last minute thing) I heard that the hatch on the Lake is pretty good midday??? May have to load up the cooler and try both eh??? Either way it...
Just wondering if anyone has done this? I was thinking if giving it a go this weekend, any tips would be greatly appreciated...
I thought the super glue would be fine, but after about 1/2 an hour on the water it is gone! and the shorb loop is very tough, I may just need some practice at it,, but I would like to know more...
And I was wondering if anyone had agood one that shows the stages of Mayflies, Caddis, and Stoneflies??? Thanks in advance. Murph.
The Transparent Nylon thread? How does it float? I assume pretty well and better than Uni-thread? I am also thinking it may be a bit less visable in the water too??? This has been a fun project and...
I got some transparent nylon thread and it is awesome!! It is very much like 1lb mono but better...When finished it looks like a Maxima chemelion tapered leader, only furled!....I can't wait to try...
Has anyone ever used it for a Furled leader? I like it becuase it comes in Green and Brown and with a normal three peg tapper you would end up with about a 6lb tip on the small end..I tried some...
Just a thought,,,,,what do you think???
I finally got it down, practice makes perfect eh? The super glue sure did help, as did using the bodkin, so thanks for all the great tips.Now my question is about materials! I made a couple out of...

I got the jig board made,, and out of 10 attempts I have two decent leaders,, I am making two seperate ones and then furling them together, my main issue is the loops on the small end! I am having a...
He did do it in sections,, which I think would work fine for monofilament, but not so much for Uni-thread...I have my directions I'll be working on a good old peg board this weekend,, seems like the...
Are there any ways to do a furled leader with Uni-thread without using a board? I saw one guy who did them by hand, but made them out of mono. I am thinking the board will be easy once I have done a...
Just an update on the Hare Hackle,,, I tried it out yesterday and caught about 10 trout on my first 15 casts,, when I went to the car to get my rain jacket, I met the mailman, he said that the...
Sounds like a nice night!...I would love to see a picture of your version of this deadly fly which I think we should name the Hare Hackle???? what do you think? I was also thinking of tying one up...

I'll be up that way on the Weds, was thinking of giving it a go. try to nail one of those football Browns on a fly rod. I have very little idea what to use other than big old streamers??? Sinking...
