Got mine and the Orvis catalog last week.
Unk Jesse, you're not a thread killer, you just give the killer response.

Got mine and the Orvis catalog last week.

Well, I don't think I am qualified to give anyone help when on the river/lake/creek/pond. But if any of you happen to come across a water thrasher that looks like he really wants to do this fly...
Plus 1. Fully agree Denny. Asked about this a month or so ago. FOTW seem to be more FOTMonth since I have been on FAOL.
Thanks for posting the link. This is great, probably the best instruction I, as a new comer, have seen on fishing for trout. I have watched the Orvis series with Tom Rosenbauer and others, and I...
Received the March Streamers today. Good looking bunch of flies everyone.
Foam beetle coming for April terrestrial.
Ummm, 3 flies per hour! Think I can make a profit??
Well said Unc. Like you, I have been pulling in a wage since I was 10, and getting cash for bottle deposits since I was 7, .02 for pop and .10 for 1/2 gallon milk and .25 for 1 gallon milk. Not quite...
Spell check doesn't like tyers, reason I asked. And tiers is, well, a row, rank or layer of articles according to Webster. So, maybe we are tiers, we put layer after layer of stuff on a hook in the...
Thanks Paddy, I'll look into the extensions.
Streamers will be in the mail next week.

I am far from qualified to be reviewing vises. After all, I have only been tying flies for about 6 months now. But I haven't seen a review on my new vise, the Danica DanVise, and I thought other new...
Received the Dries today, great looking bunch of flies. 3 weeks til season opens here and can't wait to use some of the flies I have tied and received.
The vise should be here tomorrow, at least it has gone through the USPS Seattle sort center.
Thanks all for the alerts on the jaw adjustment. Watched the instruction video on You Tube and it was...
Sorry Ray, I'm and older guy too, got 50+ New Years on TomS, and I had to ask myself. SBS = Step By Step
I have been tying for about 6 months now with the vise from an old Hank Roberts beginners fly tying kit my wife and son found in a garage sale, vintage '50's or '60's since this is the same kit I...
Tom, thanks for the support. I have seen some of your SBS, and they are awesome! The thing about the Fly of The Week is that it is all in one place. Parnelli, Swapmiester for us beginners, downloaded...
As a noob to fishing and tying, thanks for all the great fly's to imitate and aspire to. And, since there are anywhere from one to 5 SBS on any given day, think one a week could be done up for the...
Hap, don't know what ESL is, but there is a pattern by Al Campbell in the FOTW patterns for a Clouser Minnow with eyes here http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/090301fotw.php. Being a noob...
I an participating in the Beginners Fly Swap, and our fly for February is a Streamer. I am thinking of doing something with eyes, like a Clouser Minnow, but have little clue as to the size to use for...
Hi Dave,
I don't know about the fishing, but my wife and I stayed at Travelers Rest in East Glacier. Separate cabins at a reasonable rate, we were there in late August, and some decent restaurants...
It was s different world when you and I were growing up (same age based on my calculation). Simpler, more neighborly, less violence on the tube (remember Red Skelton, Lucy & Desi, My Three Sons,...
Man Jerry, I should have read this before. What a bummer. Don't worry about getting the hooks out to me until you get your place back in shape, I know you're good for 'em.
Sat down Tuesday night and dubbed and re-dubbed a #14 until I was getting a nice taper. Went the other way, took my usual amount, cut it in half, then cut in half again. Seems like so little, yet...
Working on the February fly, Adams. Have had trouble getting the dry fly hackle, finally got some Whiting 100 #14 for the grizzly, but still haven't found the brown, and the neck hackle I have just...
My November and January Flies are in the mail. Still thinking about what to do for the Feb Swap.
Finally found some tinsel today. Found it at Dollar Tree in Auburn.:D They had Red, Silver and...
