Very elegant, Ray! I used basically the same attachment method with the version I posted -- i made sure the plastic tubing (which I had on hand for tube flies as well) fit tight in the drilled hole, and used light tippet looped around the hook, down through the tube, and caught between the tube and ...

Nicely done, and thanks. I was wondering about this, and couldn't quite grok the text version.

Riker's boxes... *that's* what those are called! I think I should be able to work something around that idea. Many thanks for all the replies. I've seen the ones made from the multimeter clip thingies -- those are nice for quick changes (and they work well as hackle pliers). They're available *very*...

Clearly something worth trying, then!

Many thanks for all the replies.

In preparation for his sight fishing, he degreases the leader with a Fuller's earth concoction, which made me won...

Ray, Tim, and others who also swing flies for steelhead: This question was inspired by the mending post, but I didn't want to hijack that thread. Something I've been wondering about is how does the wet fly swing compares to the steelhead swing? I do both, but am equally inexperienced at both techniq...

I'm probably missing the obvious here, but how does one access the articles? I've clicked on the website link, which doesn't seem to work.
