Very nice!

I just put a fiery brown cape in my cart. Gonna get some of that yarn too. You gave me an idea to try to tie a Dette Iso nymph. I don't have a recipe, but I have a pic to look at. I think that yarn might work, I'll just have to fake it.

Thanks for posting. I just put in an order. Wished more of the solid colors were available. Can't wait til I get them! I ordered 3 of the colored grizzley capes, (olive, yellow, and ginger) a coachman brown, a Metz furnace and a Hebert Miner medium ginger too. Wow, just got an email that my order ha...

I have wanted to get a copy of Mike Harding's book, "A Guide to North Country Flies and How to Tie Them" for a few years now. I finally bit the bullet and bought a copy. Glad to have it in my library. The price range has been a roller coaster over the past 4 years that I've been looking. W...

Thanks for posting this Bill. I have never thought of a double dubbing loop before. As Ray said, that opens up a lot of possibilities. My pea brain is already spinning. (No pun intended)

I use PowerPoint to capture photos of my fly patterns, then use the "Speaker Notes" feature to capture the detailed recipe for each pattern. I've been doing this for many years, so I've got several hundred patterns documented. A few years ago, I made up a photo book with all the photos. L...

Very good! You have to let us know how you like the Orvis fly/tippet box. Right now I am using a thin hard, card. I made slits in both ends and secure my droppers in both ends. No flies attached to the droppers yet, just the loops at one end. John I think I'm really gonna like the Orvis box. I thin...

Nice score! So, seeing how it's almost impossible to find, do you plan to use it or save it?

Dave,

Definitely gonna try it. I mainly fish the north branch, should do just as well there.
