I am looking for a Full Rotating Regal vise, not a "knock off". Must be in excellent condition.
Does anyone know the difference between dry fly hook lengths when marked standard, 1x, 2x and so on? Is there a resource (chart) out there?
Thanks, John
I was able to post in the album area, entitled "CDC Information"
Thanks John and Scott you both were "right on". I have what I wanted. Created a reference document for myself but it is to large to attach here.
Wish there was a way of sharing, but I don't know it....
Does anyone know where the CDC feather chart by Hans Weilenmann can be viewed on line? The article "KORN'S CDC - SPENT-WING CADDIS SBS Doug Korn" references it but all my searches are coming up...

Byron,
Good looking fly. I tie basically same (no tail, diff. colors) for a caddis. It works very well for me, seems to float a little better than the traditional elk and deer hair caddis.

That is exactly what I use. Strand mono for drys and Vanish fluro streamers, it works great for me. All my attempts with thread were unsatisfactory to me. They all sank and pulled the dry under.

Back to original question. Can I make a thread furled leader that floats as well as mono?
Better Luck floating, threads used all sink, even when treated with floatent.
I have had much better luck with mono than any threads for floating (dry fly) leaders. Is that typical?
Just noticed on J Stockard's site that the recommended guide sizes go up by one size when using single foot vs traditional snakes. Interesting, is this a common practice? Have very little experience...
When buying bamboo is a "flamed blank" worth the extra $s? How does flaming improve performance?
Thanks, John
Will trade furled leaders or something for realistic May Fly wing burners. Want size 10 or 12 and size 14 or 16. Need real looking wings for extended body March Browns and Various Drakes
