They look beautiful! I’d venture to guess, however, that there aren’t too many of us that are so “crafty” as you that could make those dubbing picks, or certainly not as nice looking as...

There are a lot of places to fish around State College, including Spring Creek, Big Fishing Creek near Lamar, Penns Creek, The Little Juniata, and others. I?ve never heard of any Landlocked Salmon...

Jim - I don’t need any mink since I, like you, have more than a lifetime supply left over from an old mink coat that belonged to my wife’s mother or grandmother. However, I would like to add a...

PM sent on the buck tails.

I am intrigued at the idea of using a synthetic dubbing like this sow scud rainbow dubbing in a dubbing loop to form a thorax, or even an entire fly body. I have a caddis emerger pattern tied that...

Kelly Galloup sells this fly at the Slide Inn with pieces of krystal flash tied on each side of the deer hair.

Email sent on partridge.

What color and brand is your super saddle? I also think I see a Hebert saddle in your picture. Is that one black?

Not sure I’m allowed to say this on a fly fishing site, but I’m waiting with “baited breath” to see ‘em.

Dave - Didn’t you post this line before for sale here a short time ago, and when I contacted you about it you told me you decided to keep it for yourself and not sell it. If so, what’s up now?

Greg - Bob Marriott sells 1# spools of lead wire in a number of different diameters, including .015 diameter. John

I tie a much smaller version of this fly using woodchuck guard hair for both the wing and tail, and peacock for the body and head. It is a killing pattern for me in the early season when Caddis are...

Jim - I don’t think he was from PA, but he came to some of our meetings and events. Not sure how long of a drive he had to get here. John

Sam Slaymaker was a member of our Donegal (PA) Chapter of TU back in the 1970’s. A small group of us used to meet monthly back then, mostly in Ken Depoe’s basement in Mount Joy, PA. However, I...

Thanks, Neil. I enjoyed reading your article and intend to keep and treasure it and that magazine for as long as I’m able.

It was interesting to me to read your discussion about the increased...

In 1971, a couple years after I had graduated from college and I was just starting in my career, I purchased a large cherry slant top desk that I used to tie flies at and store much of my fly tying...

Just sent you an email with a question or 2 on your fly line.

I wouldn’t feel bad about your local fly shop not stocking dry fly hackle. I bought about 50 capes and saddles this past year, and I don’t think I got more than a couple from my local fly shop in SE...

It’s been said that there are 3 stages of a fisherman’s life. In the first stage, you want to be able to catch the most fish. In the second stage you want to catch the biggest fish, and in the...

I have to tell you that I think these are among the prettiest flies that you?ve tied and shown here.

However, having known Sam Slaymaker from years back, maybe I just looked at these...

Very nice looking fly.

I think the video demonstrates quit well the skill required operate this daVincdi robotic machine. Select your Urologist well if your ever need to have your prostrate removed, lest a “snip” be made...

Over the years I’ve caught a lot of trout on a simple black fur body ant pattern fished under the water. I often weight my line to get the ant down deep.

I generally tie them on a size #16 hook,...
