Re: Feted Green

Wow, that’s just crazy Norm, another masterpiece from your vise.

I’d love to see that fly tipped on its side to view the crimson tag…….

Re: Sanders' March Brown Soft Hackle (tyed by DOUGSDEN)

I once said that in my next life I wanted to come back as a bare hook in Carl's vise. That still stands, but it won't hurt my feelings one bit if I land at Doug's house. Outstanding work, Doug! ...Dana, these look a lot like the ties you sent up to me! Same swept back hackling... Good point Mike. T...

Flaws and defects

In the top drawer of my tying desk, I have an old Wapsi fly company head cement jar. Since I started tying seriously in 1986, any defective hooks found in packages would be stored here…. Saltwater to midges, every manufacturer and country are represented here.
Why? I have no idea.

About your advice on the tea: Is that Barry's Tea (Gold) in the red box or Barry's Tea (Irish Breakfast) in the green box you're recommending?

Thanks- Ken
Red box - really great stuff!

Re: Question - Looking for full Melanistic Pheasant skin

So Ray, I had a thought: Seeing as you really need a melanistic pheasant, and Mrs. Letumgo is in avid birder, why not procure a melanistic chick from one of the many hatcheries online offering them? It would be a huge win-win-win for the Tucker household. Mrs. Letumgo gets to add another feathered f...

Re: New flybox loaded from 12s to 18s for testing!

Very nice, Bill, per your usual. I am curious: do you guys have cornutas out in your neck of the woods? We have a highly prolific hatch specifically on the Lackawaxen river in Northeast Pennsylvania, and the “big” beaverkill between Roscoe and Cook Falls. On both rivers, these insects start hatching...

Re: Walmart Softhackles

Really nice flies, nice work. But I really love that neck you have in the photograph it has beautiful, ginger, spade hackles!

Where did you pick that one up? It’s a real beauty!
