Re: Clark's Spinning Block vs The Dubber

I love a good prototyping project. I look forward to hearing what you come up with.

As an aside,( http://www.jsflyfishing.com/fly-furnitu ... brush-tool ) it may have already been done. I thought I had shown this here before, but I couldn't find it.

Re: My Latest Junk.....

JUNK?!?!? Gads, man! You're talking trash on one of our favorite tyers! You better watch yourself, or we will send someone 'round to deal with you! :twisted: Beautiful flies, Doug.

Re: Aftershaft Partridge Egg (milky egg pattern)

:lol: Y'all funny.
I have the same issue with tying and fishing a Woolly Bugger. It just doesn't feel elegant enough. Kinda almost cheating.
Maybe that's just me....
As egg patterns go, that one's a beauty. You really ought to give it a drift anyways, in the interests of science, you know?

Re: Hartwick's Silent Assassin SBS

Every time I see a fly tied with Guinea, I remind myself that I need to get me some of that.

A wonderful pattern, and a beautiful tie. Thanks a bunch.

Re: Baillie's (Stewart's) Dun Spider

<snip> Same hackle/thread twisting process as your Baillie's black? Seems like I missed a step in there somewhere, lol. Not unusual for me. :? Could I bother either of you gents for a little more explanation? In any case, I like the fly. It looks like something my little panfish buddies might like ...

Re: Dell's John Deere Caddis

You could also leave a long tag and make a rope to wrap forward.
