Mr. Hise,


I have been tying flies for about 2 years and tie flies for four gentlemen that can not tie for themselves. I came upon a fly ?Adams? that I needed to tie for a trip to North Port MI. and was totally frustrated tying this fly. I read and re-read the recipe and tried and tried and oddly was still having fun with my new hobby.

Then started to watch the 3 videos I had and then went to the library and looked and found some more to watch. None of the videos had the ?Adams? but I watched and enjoyed the demonstrations. I found that after watching for a while I wanted to try again and POOF there was an ?Adams?.


Respectfully,
Sean

Jack, I unfortunately cannot loose something I never had.

Jack,

Lately you have been giving most of your time and concentration to putting those tiny tippet rings on your furled leaders and I am concerned that you may be trying to put a tippet ring on your flies! If, so, that may be your problem!

Warren, I recently read an article on-line from the UK in which they were tying those rings into their flies to attach droppers. I have actually been thinking about trying it out. I am afraid that I tend to do things rather more simply, such as leaving a generous length of tippet material after tying on the first fly and then doing a triple surgeons loop to attach a piece of lighter tippet and knotting my dropper to the end of that. But I can see advantages of the other method.

Ed,
Have you ever tried attaching a section of tippet to the bend of the first fly and then attaching a second fly to the added tippet?? It works good!

Nah. That's just too normal. Everybody does it that way.

Ed,
Your Correct! I forgot you were a very complex person who enjoys complicated things and for sure I'm not being very respectful of the fish's intelligence.
Sorry,
Doug
