Not a huge fan, it has a tendency to catalyze (set up) a little to quick for my taste and not give me the time I want to work over the bubbles and such. If I really want a classic look to wraps I...

Plano boxes for overflow (after the boxes I fish out of are full) I have about 20 fly boxes in different sizes and configurations, and somewhere around 10 large plano boxes for overflow.

A konic is an awesome reel, I have a magnitude that I absolutely love to death for carpin' also fish with a pfleuger president that i like a lot but cannot find extra spools for it. I am also looking...
Exactly..... I pay my excise taxes on rods that I build for people and I report all of those expenses (including my fly tying expenses) but most of them I do not claim as a loss for a business, I...
Unfortunately I do not have that luxury.... wish I did but I don't. I have to admit it would be awesome though.

Up north of you there Quivira I really like to use a snail flyof some sort.... spun deer hair or cheneile ith plenty of lead to get them down deep. Nymphs work well also but I have had my best luck...
AWESOME!!! I wish it would soften up around here so I could get a fly in the water but as of yet it's a bit frozen.... time will heal all though.

What Dave said is great.... I tie what I call semi-production or semi-commercial. I tie for 7 or 8 different shops and I tie all sorts of different things from dries to streamers to softies to bass...
Like Bass bug said this is suited to those of us who need a place for everything and everything in it's place!!! As a production tier of sorts I use hundreds of dry hooks from size 22-10 so I have...
Only because I tie hundreds of small dries and standard nymphs/soft hackle throughout the year. I have about 4 of those full of my most commonly used hooks, great idea and they do work well, the ones...
LOL, boo is tough I don't care what anyone tells you, it will take a lickin' and keep on castin'. People think it's namby pamby because they only think of boo as short light delicate dry fly rods.......
I tie something almost identical to that for ice fishing and actually seel a good handfull of them every year, speaking of wich I should probably get a handful tied for the season as the ice is...
Look for a fly called "The Jiggy", I've had some decent success with it catching a couple eyes on accident but it tends to fith the bill for a deep running slim bodied fly. Here is a link to a bit of...
QUAD BABY QQQUUUAAADDD go with a PMQ and have a little fun, no it's not the famous hex rod and it doesn't fish the same or feel just the same but it is cheap as dirt compared to building hex rods. If...
I personally have a made a couple of decent to fair quads with cane grow in my uncles back yard in Austin TX. By far it is not the best for a cane rod application but it is ok for beginning and...
Marshmallows... look for foam marshmallows at Joann's, Micheal's, and or Hobby Lobby. They are really big round white foam blocks, easily change the colors with sharpies and or fingernail polish....
Heck with that much hook, you might as well just run the whole rooster on it like a worm!!! You know it would be cool if someone did buy one and tie a fly with it just for giggles... can anyone say...
2, 3 or 4 wt. in a length that will be best suited to what I am trying to do (short rods for tight brushy farm ponds long rods for more open areas). Furled leaders, 4x or 5x tippet and fly selection...
I'm still here and the flies are on the way, You should have them in a day or two at the most.

All in all very good info. I might add that a case in point would be the crackle back (a woolly worm without a tail) and with a thread, floss, or other thin sparse material for the body. Fished with...
Dave is a hell of a nice guy and always willing to help when he can. Give him a ring I am sure he will get you all squared away.

Flies got here today, great ties everyone. I also forgot to put my fishing notes on the tag, the best way I have found to fish it would be to bounce it through the rip-rap and pick off the gills an...
I'll head over to the sign shop tomorrow, thanks for the info.
Steve
ok so where do you get the urethane foam??? They are really awesome by the way.
Steve
Struble no question, and I too would go with a down locking just exactly as referred to above.
