I recently received an email from a Lt. stationed in Kuwait; one part, in one particular letter, really touched me in a very profound way. A brief comment, that she made, touched me in such a way...

Along with the links posted above; Al Beatty did an excellent pictorial tutorial for a Muddler Dry Fly version, with a focus on proportions, at...

As Jim Cramar mentioned: try soaking it in warm water. You can also soak it by filling a cup with hot water, from your kitchen sink, but only let it soak for 20-30 seconds. That is all the time that...

Great article! I have never noticed the old fly archive before and would like to share, with you, that I discovered it to be priceless. It truly is another wonderful resource that aids in preserving...

alaskanfishguides,

I know what you are saying and agree, the interesting part is the fact that the blue is made up of red in the color spectrum. I pasted this for you: "Water owes its intrinsic...

Billknepp,

In response to your questions, I discovered, from scientific research, that each color breaks down through the total wave length of that particular colors spectrum. Red has the longest...

I posted this on the FFF forum a while back under Education. I took the liberty of pasting it here as it falls directly into the quetion of colour and trout vision. I agree with the qualifier, as...

Those fly's just keeplooking better and better. Great job ZZ and I know those trout are going to love them....

I can't stand to sit at the tying bench for very long, especially when it comes to tying the sam pattern over and over. So, I'll put on some classic Celtic music and as my mind ponders back to the...

I agree with Benjo. The smaller hooks will very easily rip through the trouts lips if you are using a stiff rod. When ever you go to smaller flies you most often also go to smaller tippets. The...

Nope and never...

Go to a wig store and purchase one of those heads that they use to store and brush the wigs on. I too have a very large head, big brain http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif, and find it very...

Looks like the Apache or Golden take it http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif Trout is the question and trout the answer should be http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif...

With all due respect to you and for substance measure of accuracy only, it is important to note that I never stated; ?Red Light (with its longer wavelength) travels farther in water.? You have...

The operative word here is trigger. I too do not believe that color alone is a trigger as much as it is something that captures their attention first. Upon this they can then rely on their binocular...

I agree with you 100% JC. If one knows how to ty, they should ty their flys so that they best simulate the natural. This includes the life stage of that natural and the required weight should be...

adso4;

The goose-like ?biot segmentation was achieved by actually using goose biot. I will also add other materials on some to simulate other types of may flies and stone flies.

Depends on the type water and fish that one most commonly subscribes too. On technical rivers with very spooky trout: The many different types of casts and their accuracy are not important; "they and...

Also, as side note: You don't need to purchase the tool. This technique has been around from the early 1990's. All you need is a quilting needle, that you can get from any sewing store. Purchase the...

Vinyl glues work the best as they help keep the elasticity of the hollow body. This will alow you to use other materials not yet commonly used. The picture(link since I don't know how to post a pic...

Color is very important in tying the flys as it is equally important from the the stand point of just how keen the trouts vision is. I did some very heavy research in this topic as it is one of the...

By spacing out the shots you allow for several things. You can better maintain the integrity of the loop which inturn alows for better line control, accuracy and proper roll over of the fly. It also...

Neddle Knot or Nail/Tube Knot; they are all tension knots and work great, been using them for about 17 years. Needle Knot is a great one as well but it is the second half of the knot(which happens to...

That is a very good deed and one well worth celebrating! It is always good to hear about a selfishless project...

One of the oldest documented flies is the Red Tag. Many beleive that its passage can be traced back to the 13th century and beyond. Interestingly enough, this fly is built of red wool, peacock hurl...
