This is the one I'm planning to try out this summer. Pretty easy to tie.

The propane smokers do work great. It easy to to maintain a constant temperature for a long period of time. At some point my gas smoker rusted out and I never replaced it. Now, I just smoke...

Toluene is aslo known as toluol is some parts of the world. Xylene is also called xylols. I'm not sure that they are carcinogens, but they can be rough on the respiratory and central nervous...

I agree that that Arkansas River in Colorado is a good choice. I'd be surprised if you caught anything but brown trout there. I prefer the section between Leadville and Twin Lake. Its a quite a...

It seem to me that the tubing frays less if you lightly hold the end together with the fingers of your left hand as you push the tubing on with your right hand. I push the tubing past the thread a...

I use Dr. Slick Arrows

I'm interested in the brand at Hobby Lobby also. I looked at the one by my house. Lot of emroidery thread but I don't remember any punch yarn. I finally found some in a small needle point craft...

I'm trying to plot a trip up to Mountain Fork in a couple of weeks. To me, Zone 2 is the best fly fishing and the least crowded. Griffiths Gnats, red or black zebra midges, damsel nymphs and small...

I don't think I've ever tied one smaller than a ten. A couple of things I've done to make them float better is using yarn for the tail. I also don't dub the body. After I tie the foam in, I palmer...

I know that the Malibu kayaks are pretty popular down on the gulf coast. They are on my short list whenever I get around to buying a kayak. The mini looks like a nice size for throwing into the...

I bought one of the pre-IPC Avids last spring on close-out. I have a 4-piece 6wt. It was a great rod for the price. I'm the limiting factor on how far I cast it. I guess it depends on what you...

For me, the dry fly hackles are too stiff to use on buggers. It doesn't seem to undulate in the water very much. I prefer softer and cheaper options for the small buggers like cheap chinese capes.

I also use bicycle grease mostly because I had some laying around. The brand is Finish Line teflon grease. Seems to live up to its claim of being waterproof.

I agree that wetting the marabou helps. I also like this tip from the archives:

I think it's much easier to leave the marbou on the stem...

Just out of curiousity, since the fly is tied clouser style, does the lip point up in the water?

Wooly bugger - #12 with a peack body and black rabbit fur tail.


The Alien is my favorite top water now. I prefer a chartruese body with yellow legs and foam.

I originally hurt my shoulder when I was around 20 - partial separation. It gets a little worse each year. I turned 40 this year and have quit playing softball becuase of the pain. The smaller...

One of my favorites is a Buzz Hackle #8, but I tie it in the Renegade style with the grizzly hackle in front. Toss it out and let it sit for a while then strip it a couple of times like a popper. ...

I just wanted to quickly introduce myself to the board. I've been coming here for a while for fly patterns, knots, etc. and finally decided to join. There's a ton of useful information and I really...
