Re: Desecrating the Sacred Soft Hackle
Some people have been known to use garden hackle…… I was fishing with a very good friend who was catching ten to my one. Couldn't figure it out. Watched him land a fish, release it, reach into the top pocket of his waders, dress his fly and make another cast. When it got too dark to see to fish any...

Re: Fly Tying Magazine recomendations
I'm going to give Fly Tyer another go. They got a bit wonky the last couple of years, and like Roadkill, I found very little to get enthused about. Dave Klausmeyer has vacated the Big chair, so maybe some fresh blood will perk it up. I read the Drake, but that isn't about tying. I tried Fly Fusion b...
