Nice tie, but it's missing the JC eyes. ;)

Hi Mike,
Frank didn't use extra small diameter wire for his Killer bugs. You can probably use the Brassie size if you have it in red or copper brown.

This link provides a lot of info about that pattern. It includes the page explaining how he does the post too.

Hi Bruce,
Scroll about halfway down the page to see his dyed starling skins including olive. Many of his pages are not updated though, so whether he actually still has this in stock or not you'll...
Maybe this one?

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for posting this! I was wondering how Warren was doing since there hasn't been an update in a while. It must have been a blast to be back out in a stream again casting & catching...
Hi Greg,
Coffins creek furs is another option for buying a skin. I bought mine from them years ago. Here's a link.

He's been over at this forum for a long time now. He's a sponsor there as well.

Hi Scott,
I would just like to add that the late Dick Talleur wrote that the best wing feather quills for this pattern are from an american black duck. The secondaries are better than the...
Enoz brand now makes lavender scented para moth disc's that are encased in a paper pouch. They can be found at Walmart stores in a lavender colored box. They don't smell that bad at all compared to...
Hi Andy,
When you do get it all set up, take a couple of pic's and post them here. I always enjoy looking at nice tying areas and set ups.

Hi Schwert,
That stuff is so good it's collected by some folks now ;)

Great review with a lot of indepth comparisons. No surprise that Whiting comes out on top in the end. If Collins saddle was quite a bit different in color from the cape in the same pack, it was more...
Byron,
Are you asking where you can get this now? It's available at the Book Mailer. In bulk from some other source, that ship may have sailed. Synthetics are constantly upgrading and tweeking...
Hi Byron,
I've never seen that type either. All the folks that have complained about the hook spitting out and chipping the jaws would find it hard to do with that design ;).

Hi Scott,
Really nice job like usual. I was surprised to see this tied as a dry fly. I was in a fly swap years ago at the old VFS forum and a guy from New Zealand tied a Love's Lure that was a...
Hi Scott,
Really nice job on those nymphs! Atherton may not be a huge name these days, but he does have a lot of fans out there. Many of his patterns called for unique materials not commonly used...
I used a good part of a can on two of my garage gutters back when it first came out. On large cracks, I bent sheet metal flashing to help seal them up along with the Flex Seal. I sprayed them on a...
Hi Byron,
I did a quick search and found this currently on eBay. It's on the lower right. ...
I would just pluck them too. At least 7 or 8 years ago, I bought a drake woodie skin from a well known flyshop up in Maine. It still has so much oil that it's leached into several changes of paper...
Hi Joe,
He explains it pretty well in the video. He cut the clump of hair from the heel of the foot. He didn't want a lot of the finer fuzzy underfur that's right next to the bone, and he didn't...
Hi Donald,
It's great to know that you're OK, and even better that you're back posting again :smile:

Hans,
You can't really compare Renzetti or DynaKing as examples because they're still being manufactured. Just off the top of my head, Thomas, PH Young, Pamola Fly Lathe, Allcock's, and A.K. Best...
It looks like these will work really well if they're tied the right way. They may also work really well if you're not all that good at casting, or maybe just getting into fly fishing. All of these...
