I have used prismacolor and sharpie markers and have let them dry for days.
In a recent issue of Fly Tyer, an article on poppers metions using clear nail polish on a popper body after marking it with markers. I am using the recommended markers and the polish makes the marks...
Anybody have any reports for the Riudoso area of New Mexico? Common hatches for this time of year?
Thanks.
I fish a little clear water creek for bluegill and they seem to like htis little wet fly. I call it a red lantern ( I don't know why). Chenille body, Soft hackle, and a little tail. Size 10.
I have some material I got from a kit called Poly Yarn. I use it as wings for spinners and as a substitute wing on various dry patterns like the Wulfs. It is real easy to handle and I find it...
As I was sitting around waiting for my Cowboys to get slammed by the Vikings, I had an idea for a streamer. I consider this my first true streamer and wanted to hear y'alls critiques.
Thanks for...
You are going to be at the Saints-Cards game, huh? Good luck. Y'alls defense will need to kick it up against that offense. My Cowboys (Wow, I can here the boos from back in Week 15) will have...
Couldn't agree with you more. If you don't want to use lead, drive a gas/diesal engine, or use a regular light bulb, then don't, if it makes you feel good. Leave the rest of us alone.
Ever hunt in Texas? Large majority of doves are shot over or near tanks and ponds. The same water we hunt ducks over. We also hunt ducks over farm fields, no water. The same fields we hunt dove...
Global warming is real...at least during the summer months.
I call it weather.
Is this a discussion on the effects of lead in the environment or certain areas banning lead? If its a private lease and they ban lead, fine, I don't have to fish there. If it is a public area and...
We are mostly interested in trout waters but not opposed to exploring some warm water areas.
Some friends and I would like to plan a fishing trip to New Mexico in the spring. We have already fished Ruidoso and would like to try somewhere else on a budget. We are exploring various leases...
That should say, NOW that you've started...
I got the same kit right after Thanksgiving. As soon as that foam beetle hit the water, I caught a 1/2 lb bass. I've since tied several variations of it.
Be prepared to buy more hooks, not that...
I found it there and on flytiers.com. Thanks.
I ordered a Crown Vise Kit from flyfishtools.com for 50 bucks. It came with both the clamp and the pedestal.
I just got an email form the website saying they no longer carry it. Anyone know...
In a lot of the reading I have been doing lately, I've read about using flank feathers for wings and hackle for tails on various dry flies.
Is it common to use flank feathers as as tails on dry...
Can neck hackle be used to wrap a body (i.e. caddis fly) properly? I tried it last night and it did not work so well. Don't know if it was more me and technique or if saddle hackle is the only/best...
I don't remember cutting the tail on the AP nymph, but if I did, it was probably because I felt the tail might be too long. What should I do in that situation? (Aside form the obvious, don't make...
Thank y'all for the compliments.
I have been running some line through the eye when I am done, just to clear out any cement or make sure I can get a line through. I need to focus more on not...
Here are some of my first flies. Constructive criticsm is welcomed.

I am tying some more flies this week and will post some pics soon.
Tied my first flies Saturday morning, a San Juan Worm and a foam beetle. Then went to a stream off of a small lake to try them out. As soon as my beetle hit the water, I had a largemouth on. Ended...
What are the differences between fly tying thread and the threads you buy at the sewing store?
