Looks like all the flies are in. I'll get them sorted and shipped out by the weekend.
P.M. headed your way.
Another vote here for the Batson. Great blank , affordable and cast great.
So sad , the passing of a legend. My prayers go out to his family and I think we will all remember Al the next time we tie on an Elk Hair Caddis.
Flies received from Gigmaster. I know those wings are a pain in the rear but I think they will catch fish just fine. Just waiting for flies from branhap which are on the way and I will get them...
Thanks for checking in branhap , I think we all understand how things come up sometimes , no problem at all. Has anyone heard from bdesavage? I haven't seen him post on this thread since the start.
One more to add would be Terry Hellekson's , Fish Flies The Encyclopedia Of The Fly Tier's Art. More about fly pattern's than technique's it contain's 100's of pattern's. If you think the Benchside...
Flies received from Sjo. Very nice , traditional , perfect wings , great proportions...excellent!
Alright folks , we are well into August and I just wanted to check on everyone's progress. I have gotten most and a few others are on the way. How is everyone else doing out there?
Good price and a must have book if you really want to study many different tying techniques. I received one as a gift when I first started tying and it was a real eye opener. Well worth the price for...
I think your just being hard on yourself Gigmaster. You always tie great flies and I'm sure they are fine. None of us can be Don Bastian or Davie McPhail unless we keep trying and keep tying and then...
Put me down for a Flash Kebari , a Tenkara fly of my own design just to try something different.
For me one good tip was Davie McPhail's "measure and pinch" method of mounting the wing's. If you watch his video's on wet flies you know what I mean. I picked this theme because it was a challenge...
Every fly angler could learn something from the great Joan Wulff including the members of the Angling Club of New York.
Just received flies from Gmac209. Holy cow! , these are some beautiful married wing flies. You really outdid yourself on these Gmac and I thank you for such a great effort for this months swap. I...
Anyone have a recommendation on where to buy fiberglass fly rod blanks? I'm looking for something with a budget in mind and would prefer spigot ferrule's.
Flies received from Icemanxxxv. How's everyone else doing?
The only one I see is distance. If you want to make a long cast like over deep water you can't wade across or something but of course thats a given. I really don't see any other.
Well it seems a shame because I think the person who started this thread did so with good intentions. I really just wondered if the lines every made it back and if the feed back was helpful or not.
Just wondering if this testing was ever completed? Haven't heard anything on it in a while.
Welcome aboard rawfish. Nice to have one more in the group. Who's hosting for August?
Flies arrived today and look great.
Just coming from another "dog person" , my prayer's are with you. I can't imagine something happening to my "babies". I have three dog's , Chihuahua's by the way , that mean the world to me. I think...
Fishing really is more than just catching fish. Thanks for sharing the best fishing story I've heard in awhile.
