Ariel, One of the nice features of our forum is that, by request, some of the members have in the past shown their patterns in both stages, dry and wet, and the transformation is astonishing! Have you ever carefully picked up line, leader, and fly and allowed the fly to settle on your hand or finger...

Ray, The first cat in the photo's, your parents cat, the more gray one, that's Ross, my cat! How in the world did he make it to your house? How did he know? He was gone for a couple of days recently and he has remained tight lipped about the whole affair. He had this really cool looking PMD stuck in...

I think flyfisher-peoples from around the world will deeply appreciate your web-site as we all do!
Thanks William for creating such a gem of a web-site!

Hans,
Very well done friend! There is something about the look of that Grip hook with your wonderful magic applied to it! In watching your patterns day by day, they just get better and better! Please keep us fed!

Ariel, I watched the whole thing and then realized that I have that DVD! I must have been snoozin' when I first watched my version! It is a fascinating clip and I am a real Davy Wotton fan. The man is an excellent tactician and incredible behind the vice! Thank you for sharing this with us. That was...

Good Morning Ray, I am really liking your Orange Wool Bodied Streamer esp. when you interject the photo of the Smallmouth into the mix! Would heavy gold wire be even more durable than the braided ribbing? I would like to add this pattern to the ever increasing list posted on my bulletin board in the...
