Re: The Guileless Trout
Never heard of it before now. Let me know how it is. Some of the books I've ordered from England arrive faster than those ordered in the US, but with a heavy postage tab.

Just ordered two of his books. I can always use something new to read.

Re: Lisenring's March brown
If I somehow gave the impression I don't think lisenring's knew what he was doing that is not at all the case. His patterns are fantastic proven fish catchers and he was the master of profile. Just never really thought this was the best way to achieve the same look. T12, my comment was tongue in ch...

Re: Lisenring's March brown
Yeah, sometimes old guys who've put in a lot of time studying things can come up with a good idea once in a while. Nicely dressed fly. Should catch really well.

Re: Woodcock and Orange
Lovely wee fly, Bill. I've never coated the silk with head cement before. Interesting look. I'll have to try it. Love the woodcock. That and English Red Grouse are two of my favorite hackles.

Very nice SBS, Ray. You do set the bar high. I like using the working thread for the rib. Method to the madness.

Re: AP emergers
Actually, there's a swap that just opened up in the Fishing Cabin section of this forum. I decided to host one after reading this thread.

Re: AP emergers
Great looking flies. I know a rise won't always allow but I much prefer flies like this that just look like a nice tasty bug rather than anything too specific. Is there info anywhere I can read on the swap? I'd love to get involved! T12, swaps are usually announced in the Fishing Cabin section. Not...

Re: New Book / "Trout Spey & The Art of the Swing" by Steve Bird
Holy Cow. You must have some pull, Steve. My copy arrived in yesterday's mail. I agree with Ray. This is a beautifully photographed book and very informative. I can definitely see the influence of flymph tyers, as you mentioned. Well done, my friend.
