Re: Bloody William
Awhile back, I posted this pic (and the dressing from the sourced book) and I still think that the name "Bloody William's Other Mate" is one of the weirdest named fly dressings. I'd love to learn why / how it got named!

Red Hot Spot black Magic Spider
I didn't get to do much trout fishing last season (to be honest, only twice), but on both occasions, I started the first day using the old and successful Black Magic Spiders. In going through some of my fly tying materials, I noticed a few strands of UV-dyed peacock herls a friend sent me several ye...

Re: A Small Wheatley Box
Depending on the Wheatley box, you can cram in lots of flies in one box. Ever more if you carry 6 or 8 of them streamside!

Re: Crow Secondary Wing Feather

But it’s a no-no for most hunters. “ The possession of feathers and other parts of native North American birds without a permi...

That being said, I'm hoping to get a dozen or two of Pritt's #13 March Browns tied, if I can find enough of the right-sized Wookcock hackles (always a re...

Re: Fox Ear Dubbing
Just started tying 3 or 4 this evening. Between my fingers and bad back, I can’t tie very many at one sitting!
