Just a reminder that the East Idaho Fly Tying Expo will occur this coming Friday and Saturday April 22, 23. One of, if not the best fly tying expo in the west. So many talented fly tiers will be in...
Happy, Happy Birthday to a very classy lady. Know you are loved!
All of them are fishable with the Ogden and Weber Rivers running clear by then. Also Pine View Reservoir up Ogden Canyon holds quite a variety of fish species with the Tiger Muskie at the top of the...
One of my favorite publications.
Thanks guys!
Len, alles gute zum Geburtstag!
I tie them both ways and the fish seem to like them so I always let the fish be the judge.

Happy Birthday brother!! Have a great one.
Its normal if you upload full resolution photos. I have a Photobucket file that I store photos I upload to the site after I have shrunk them. A full resolution photo takes a long time to upload...
Hey all, I'll be in the Seattle area giving a Spring Creeks PowerPoint presentation tomorrow evening 17 Feb. for the Washington Fly Fishing Club. If any of you are in the area drop on by and check...
I just purchased the new Zealand kit and so far have been pleased with the results.
I have used Thingamabobbers for years and leader kink has never been an issue as it does no damage to the...

Thanks all!
Best wishes and rapid healing Deanna! Having gone through this myself a few years ago I literally feel your pain. Healing should be fairly quick, just make sure to get on it ASAP as the doc orders....
Alan, those are spectacular. I will have to tie some of those.
I use a lot of nymphs but my go-to is a custom PT nymph I tie:

Scott, an outstanding tie as usual. You truly have skills! That fly would do extremely well right now on the Henry's Fork:

Midge. Those two things that look like antennae out the front are actually legs. The furry or fuzzy 'legs' sticking forward also are the antennae.
Just to clarify, the fly pictured was not an attempt to trim the hackle to fit the hook. This is a pattern called a thorax-style dry fly. Trimming the hackle allows the fly to ride low in the film...
Most of the time I use dubbing as the shuck - the fibers of most dubbing now are a multitude of colors with one predominant color. I also trim them at an angle rather than square, since bugs don't...
