Re: Golden Brown

Wayne, That is a great color! Is the hare's mask from Charlie's Fly Box? Thanks- Ken Ken, how did you know I got it at Charlies? That is awesome. Anyhow, I got to his shop and they were putting the Golden Brown and the Golden on display for sale. My eyes could not tell the difference between the tw...

Golden Brown

I found a new to me Hares mask color. It is called Golden Brown. I tied a couple up with Brown Partridge, and a Couple with Brown Pine Squirrel as collars. With a little luck I will be able to try them out next week. The caddis bite isn't really going on, but the trout are taking a few swung soft ha...

Re: Frank Sawyer's Nymphs

No Ray, its the fluff at the bottom of any Dun, Brown, or natural Brahma hackle. Rooster or hen. I apply it in a split thread. Wow, zero waste! I like that!

Re: Desecrating the Sacred Soft Hackle

I keep looking for something that desecrates the soft hackle and can't find anything, unless you mean beads. If that's the case I've been a desecrator for years. Looking good, Wayne. Ron, psssst.

Desecrating the Sacred Soft Hackle

When I return from work in 16 days, the first Caddis Hatches should be in swing. I will be nymphing with an indicator, Mono-Rig, swinging for the trout with these patterns.

Re: Stone Nymps

In the end, my brain power amounts to a wilted cabbage. There are better tyers to consult other than me. I cant even get the spelling correct on a subject line.
