hello bear-Kodiak,
If I am not mistaken or not remembering correctly, I believe that AK customized his wiss scissors himself by adding a thick upholstery needle to the scissors.
I believe that...

Hi LC,
I am wondering if what you are seeking is actually the Clouser arm to which either a standard or saltwater set of jaws attaches. I own two travelers and have found that the standard jaws...
Hey Ralph,
Love this fly! It is am easy quick tie and can't wait to give it a try. Weather here is still crappy but going to the mountains next week and hoping for warmer days.
I have no experience with trying to net a fish dangling and wiggling on an 11ft rod but I would think that it might be easier or more efficiently accomplished to utilize a guide or boat net that...
Hi,
Inexpensive cauterizers are available through US outfitters ie: Cabela's and I am pretty sure they will ship internationally but the suggestion of inquiries to obtaining one through a British...
Hi,
I am no expert on repairs to sliding rings but I am wondering if you were to trace the shape of the reel foot onto a piece of craft foam (such as we use for tying purposes) and then trimmed the...
Hi,
Just so you know, Cabela's is offering a stripping basket very similar to the Orvis basket ($80.00+) which was originally offered by LLBean. The Cabela's basket is approximately half price of...
Hey Byron,
If you are going to make yourself a custom vise and you don't want to keep that "awful ole pettijean vise" cluttering up your tying bench, I would certainly accept your "gifting" the...
Hey Chuck, not to high jack this thread but you are sounding as though Chris Helm has passed away. I know he sold his White Tail flytying supplies biz but I am not/was not aware of anything like his...
Hi
I am not any expert either but I have always thought that most species have their markings/colors influenced by their surroundings, substances present in the water and diet. As a kid, we fished...
jack, glad you ae home and doing well but you have to do as you Docs advise you particularly as regards drivng a car. If anything should happen while driving your car and the Doc has advised you not...
I clearly remember my first fly rod fish but it wasn't a trout. It was a bluegill along the Maryland portion of the C&O canal. I still have the rod ... a 2piece metal thing about 9 ft long marked...
Hi Folks,
pardon my belated weighing in on this thread but I have to say that a lot of the old timers I have met and spoken with very strongly advocate that the best flies to use when fishing for...
Hi Allen,
I am also in the market for a starter kit such as you described with a pen light but am having difficulty finding a source near me who can explain the differences between the various...
I would like to hear more about Tilapia. They are one of our fav fishes for consumption. I have always thought of them as a freshwater species but aren't the canals in Fla saltwater? Back in the...
porquepine quills and what are they like to tie bodies with? Are they tubular? Average Length? Are they sold in large quantities or can you purchase small amounts?
Beautiful Photos Byron! Thanks for sharing. Would love to catch a fish like that just once.
If all you are teaching is casting techniques, it is not necessary to even put a fly on the line. I piece of brightly colored yarn will suffice. The best program for teaching kids about and "how-to"...
I am going to tie a dragonfly pattern that will be used for bass but I would also like to test it on trout as well maybe in a smaller version. I am asking for suggestions on brand, type and size....
My son who lives in the ST. Pete area of Fla sent me a photo of a dragon fly he saw while out walking his dog. The insect is the pinkest I have ever seen. I had no idea that they existed in a pink...
Hi Dave,
We have not tried the attachment method you speak of, however we do have 2 different types of portable transducer holders that attach to our canoe (and also on rental row boats) by means...
I really like this new method and I am wondering what the bonding agent is and what brand the curing light might be. Is it sold as a set? I have never seen such a compact unit in any of the catalogs...
