Yeah. They were a bit leery about working with foam, but they have nailed all the foam bugs that they are tying for us.

Nice work Scott.

It was originally designed for Bream but it has taken many a trout too. It's now one of our submissions to Fulling Mill. (Formerly the Foam Dragon)

We have been playing with the Transformer for a while and it's a nice vise. Just a note, and not to nit pick, but the correct spelling is Stonfo (no L).

Thanks for posting that Bruce. That pic is of the original fly with rabbit wings. The fibers that the new fly are tied out of are EP trigger point international fibers that are designed...

This bug is awesome on so many levels.

FWIW, the 5 second fix looks exactly the same as Bondic. It stays tacky, and is by far the most expensive resin per ounce.

I'd get the Apex before the Atlas. You will have a hard time seating large hooks properly in the Atlas.

It's the one in the Orvis link. Sure it will work well on Smallies, but there are a ton of others that will work just as well. Maybe try a rusty brown wooly bugger with yellow or orange hackle too.

Here is a Perch flavored Low Fat Minnow... It's a killer.

A couple of things to consider... Hackle has come so far in the past 15 to 20 years that most of the literature about it doesn't apply as much unless you are still using old hackle. In regards to...

I have tied a lot of parachute flies on curved shank hooks and they work just fine. It's not to say that I don't like the Daiichi 1160 and 1167, but you have to remember that we are chasing...

This is spot on. The Partridge hooks seem way too big. Two other curved shank hooks that make excellent dry fly hooks are the Daiichi 1130 and the Gamakatsu C12. I use those quite a bit for...

Yeah... I think he uses too much. we use resin on chironomids because it helps them cut through the water etc. I'd probably have issue with putting that much super glue on a post too. When I use...

You should check out the Daiichi 3111. It's super mean.

I bought some of the Bondic resin to try and it's pretty expensive compared to some of the brands that are readily available. For .14 oz it is $12. That being said, the little light is pretty...

Nice!! I can see that in my box someday.

I see... In that case, dog slicker brushes are your friend;)

I had about every comb in the book until I got a carding block. You can do that much dub really quickly.

Yep;) Hareline just addressed it so the common guy can get a quality system to blend dubbings. http://store.flyfishfood.com/Blend-your-own-custom-dubbing-kit-p/byo.htm

We use something similar...

A coffee grinder works as long as you don't have long fibers or flash. Long fibers will bind in the blade, and flash can get chopped up pretty bad (depending on the type of flash.) Canned air works...

two thumbs and two big toes up.

very well done!

The Magnavise is made in Utah. The guy who came up with the design is named Matt Plott.

Love that hackle color. Great job as always Scott.

The deer is almost so sparse that you can't tell that it's there. Is it necessary on this pattern?
