I feel like I'm being sucked into Theroe's hook addiction; can someone tell me what those hooks are? The flies are absolutely gorgeous and now I'm starting to get this ...weird, hook urge.
...thanks Dana.

Re: Wisconsin grouse
I believe that would be the "ruffed" type of grouse -- the same bird that Downeasters call "partridge". As a Maine native I'm curious as to what the outside world considers a 'Downeaster'. ...and the proper pronunciation is "Pah-tridge". I apologize for the generalizat...

Re: Split-thread spring caddis
Mike62, My wife and I just moved to central Maine (Carmel, near Bangor). Since moving in 10 days ago we've had our back yard torn up by about a dozen turkeys, and there's a pair of Grouse roosting in an Ash tree at the edge of the wood line. We've lived in Washington State for the last 20+ years, f...

Re: Split-thread spring caddis
I'm really enjoying this thread. I live in far off northern Maine, above Caribou. We have a very healthy Grouse population up here. I don't know that I've ever really seen a 'red' phase Grouse. I always think they look much rustier in the summer and 'gray up' as the season progresses into the monot...

Re: Yellow Spiders
Thanks for the additional instruction! Living where I do I have an over abundance of grouse (I limited out before noon yesterday) and I have a 48' greenhouse full of vegetables that I'd love to re-purpose; using natural ingredients to dye materials sounds like a wonderful fall/winter activity. Mike...

Re: Yellow Spiders
Beautiful color. I, too, would like the details of the dye bath; I love the idea of dyeing with vegetable matter. How much turmeric was required and did you have to keep revisiting the bath to achieve the end color?
