Guys, Thank you for your responses. They are quite good! I had a great evening with my tender little 3 weight rod, a tin full of flymphs, and a "balanced" leader tied by yours truly. The lightness of the 3 weight sometimes magnifies leader balance problems but not tonight. Everything was g...

DEAR MIKEY, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THIS QUESTION AND I DON'T MIND ANSWERING IT! I TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT'S QUICKER FOR ME. YES, I ADMIT IT. I WAS TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL TO TYPE IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY. And I guess it does work out for the most part. I am not a particularly fast typist and I have just...

FELLOWS ONE AND ALL, THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. THAT ALL OF YOU GAVE. I HAVE COME UP WITH ANOTHER THOUGHT THAT OCCURED TO ME RECENTLY. I AM SURE THAT MANY IF NOT ALL OF THE TYERS/FISHERS ON THIS FORUM FEEL A BIT OF KINSHIP WITH THOSE WHO HAVE GONE ON BEFORE US WHEN IT COMES TO TYING AND FISHING CERTAIN...

MARK & RUARD, I TOO HAVE BEEN NOTICING THE "LEISENRING METHOD" IN YOUR POST BUT HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS METHOD OF MAKING A FLYMPH BODY. AND THANK YOU RUARD FOR ASKING TOO! I HAVE A COPY OF DAVE HUGHES BOOK "WET FLIES". HE DOES A GREAT JOB IN TAKING THE READER THRU TH...

MIKE,

PLEASE POST THEM IF THERE IS!

IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE BOTTLE OF EACH, WATER BASED VS. LACQUER BASED, LYING IN WAIT ON THE TYING BENCH. THE WATER BASED PRODUCTS ARE NICE BUT I'VE NOTICED THAT AFTER A SHORT DRYING TIME, THEY DRY A LITTLE "HAZY". THE STD. "SMELLY" ONES (I LIKE THAT DESCRIPTION) ...

DEAR GENTLEMEN, I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD OF FLYTYING HAS EVER HAD THE PROBLEM OF STORING FLYTYING MATERIALS OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME? TWO FACTORS COME TO MIND. THE FIRST IS INSECTS. PANTRY MOTHS, FEATHER LICE, ETC. THE SECOND IS SIMPLY LONGEVITY. FEATHERS ESPECIALLY SEEM TO...

RAY,
THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE DAIICHI #1510'S.....AND THE PATTERN IS QUITE NICE TOO! LIKE SO MANY OTHERS ON THIS FORUM, THIS PATTERN IS VERY "SUGGESTIVE" OF ALOT OF INSECTS IN THAT BREW OF LIFE WE CALL WATER! LOVE YOUR STYLE RAY!
KEEP'M COMING,
