Can anyone recommend a vendor(s) for jigoff tungsten beads? Having difficulty finding. Thank you.
Does anyone own this fly tying vise? How do you rate it to comparable vises? It appears to be designed and assembled with both outsourced and domestic parts in Utah ...
I recently saw a YOUTUBE where a tier soaks his quills in vegetable/mineral oil instead of water and keeps them in a plastic bag. Seems like a good idea as long as the quills don't remain unused too...

Simple gallows showing set up for rotary and non-rotary vises. Use small rubber bands looped together for proper tensioning. Hook on wooden base has a recessed magnetic base but may purchase...
I know there are many tiers out there who like to show off their stuff and be helpful to the community of tiers. For a long time now my dry fly ties are now limited to parachutes and hackle stackers...
Sad news. Liked their products at great prices and fast service. Wish him the best!
Thanks for the tips. I have found magnets to be invaluable especially when placing the unused portion of tying materials that will be used on the next fly being tied. I don't know how many times I've...
The usefulness of magnets are indescribable in almost any hobby or craft. I use them to secure unused hackle after stripping off what I am using. Small cylindrical magnets also are great for hanging...
Great contributor and dedicated flyfisherman to the sport. He will be sorely missed.
These definitely will work on both prescribed eye glasses and sunglasses. The comments seem to be all over the place however. In my case, this wouldn't be applicable because I already have flip-up...
Double sided tape is pretty sticky stuff but removable. As a woodworker, I use the stuff often when template cutting duplicate shapes. I placed the tape on the leg clip on the underside of my brim to...
If you're like me and now must resort to those flimsily made magnifiers that never stay on your hat brim so you end up losing them to the fishes, try double sided tape. I managed to retain mine for a...
File will not upload......sorry
I'm a drop shot fan of nymphing and I recently read about a fisherman who ties a 6-8" length of 6X/7X material onto the split shot end as a means to lessen re-rigging an entire section of leader when...
Absolutely true! Too much investment to lose to bugs. I've read to microwave the buggers to kill their larva. I prefer to use mothballs...........
Anyone have experience using fluorocarbon instead of "regular" mono leader material for dries? If fluoro is designed to sink fast because if its greater density than the obvious answer is to use mono...
Yes, thumbs up for Wholesale Fly Co. I've seen good prices at AvidMax too.
tightlines...........
AMEN! Our history, both good and bad, molds us as freedom loving Americans and guards us against those who seek to destroy our way of life
Received 10 messages about a program for "captcha solving". Beware.................
Has anyone experienced "thin" resin that is slightly too thick, maybe because of shelf life? What would one use as a thinner? Thanks
I finally figured out the application of the rebates. Each rebate on the end of the stacker is for stacking a different thickness material. So if I’m stacking deer hair, I would use the deeper...
