Some people have been known to use garden hackle…… I was fishing with a very good friend who was catching ten to my one. Couldn't figure it out. Watched him land a fish, release it, reach into the top pocket of his waders, dress his fly and make another cast. When it got too dark to see to fish any...

Well, I subscribed to Fly Fishing and Fly Tying out of the UK. Turns out to be about $7.50 an issue. I thought the subscription was for 3 issues, turns out it's for 12. The April issue has an article on spiders. Looking forward to getting my first issue. I forgot all about that magazine. It's been ...

I keep looking for something that desecrates the soft hackle and can't find anything, unless you mean beads. If that's the case I've been a desecrator for years. Looking good, Wayne.

There was a flymph tying contest on Farcebook that is being judged by none other than our very own Old Hat. Thought I'd tie up my favorite PMD and submit it. You lucky folks get to see it too.

Very nice to see the great Northwoods contingent of the FLymph Forum is alive and well! We are alive and well. Fly boxes are full (at least mine), but the rivers are near flood stage due to snow melt and three days of torrential rain and the lakes still have a sheet of ice on them. Open water fishi...

Here is the Rainbow Trilobal Nylon I blended with the beaver in about equal proportions. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53615316978_fde048c1b3.jpg RIMG3720 by William Lovelace , on Flickr You can see the glint of the nylon all over the body... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53614241477_bb...

Ron, Just Google Firestar Trilobal Nylon fibers, many fiber arts shops have it. 8-) I bought from 2 different ones. ;) This has come a long way from starting with LaFontaine and Dazzleaire from a craft shop decades ago. :D Bill I still have a bunch of Aunt Lydia's Sparkle Yarn from those days.
