Re: Golden Brown

Great flies, as usual, Wayne. That is a nice color mask. I don't remember seeing that one before either. Maybe I should stat looking. Just what I need, more stuff.

Re: Generic March Brown

That looks excellent. The hook is really nice. Do you know if it's available in the US? Hope you don't mind if I steal this one.

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

Well, I subscribed to Fly Fishing and Fly Tying out of the UK. Turns out to be about $7.50 an issue. I thought the subscription was for 3 issues, turns out it's for 12. The April issue has an article on spiders. Looking forward to getting my first issue. I forgot all about that magazine. It's been ...

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.

PMD Flymph

There was a flymph tying contest on Farcebook that is being judged by none other than our very own Old Hat. Thought I'd tie up my favorite PMD and submit it. You lucky folks get to see it too. The hook is a Mustad 94842 size 14, working silk is Kimono 11 in Castle Grey (379), the tail is Wood Duck, ...

Re: Fly Tying Magazine recomendations

I used to read several, then found the internet. I subscribed to Fly Tyer last year and won't be renewing my subscription. I found very little that caught my interest. In the entire year I saw one fly that I thought about adding to the box. If you find something that may interest an old wet fly/flym...

Re: Rainbow Beaver Flymph

Very nice to see the great Northwoods contingent of the FLymph Forum is alive and well! We are alive and well. Fly boxes are full (at least mine), but the rivers are near flood stage due to snow melt and three days of torrential rain and the lakes still have a sheet of ice on them. Open water fishi...
