I forgot to mention great looking flies also. I wish I had a way to photograph some of my flies but I don't at the moment. Hope to before too long.

Thanks for posting this thread. Good information.

Thanks again for the help. I guess I have to invest in a cheap coffee grinder. lol

I have a question about tying with wool dubbing. How do you all normally make bodies with it as dubbing? It's longer fiber than natural furs I have used. Do you chop it up? Mix it with other dubbing? Spin it in a thread loop like Liesenring bodies? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Thanks for showing the Stonefly pattern. I want to tie some. lol I was thinking of that pattern or something similar for Perla stoneflies in the Eastern U.S. I Don't know for sure if they're still called Perla. They change names now and then. Beautifully done.

Beautiful! Wondering what is the fly at the bottom right?

I agree with you totally there's nothing that has the feel of a good bamboo rod. I wanted a bamboo rod not long after I first got into fly fishing and that was it. All I've ever wanted to fish with. I worked for H.L. Leonard Rod in the mid 70's. Some of my time there I mounted Duracanes. Those blank...

So Dead Heads are into soft hackles now. Cool! Love it.

Thanks for posting this. Love it! Interesting to me even way back then they realized how much the fish fed near and just below the surface instead of eating floating flies on the surface.

Liking this thread. I think that Clyde style Greenwells is a beauty!
