Re: Pattern Specific Species

Very interesting to see how the different fish were 100% selective to a certain pattern. I wonder if that result would change if you reversed the positions of the flies?

Re: Blind dogs (Tups Wannabe)

Wayne,

Beautiful hackle and perfectly wrapped. No wonder that fish couldn't resist!

Re: New out of print book for me

I just bought a copy over on the Classic (Bamboo) Fly Rod Forum that appears to be unread. Rejoyce with me!

Re: Early Black Stonefly nymph

Does anyone have the list of materials for Oliver Edwards' version of the Little Black Stonefly or Early Black Stonefly? I believe it might have been featured in one of his videos.

Re: Governor

Re: Sylvester Nemes’ Mother’s Day Caddis

Very nicely done! Does anyone know why Nemes chose to wind the partridge feather around the hook and then pull all the fibers up on top instead of just tying it in on the top to start (like a rolled wet fly wing) or just leave them wound around the hook, like most other flies that have a partridge h...

Re: Crow Secondary Wing Feather

Ray, I thought the body would be darker since it uses a crow feather. When you look at the feather, it looks "black"; however, when you separate 3 fibers and wrap them around the hook, it's more of a "Gray Gnat". Perhaps that is why he lists the body material as black silk or 2-3...
