I think that one is an old 94842 up-eye dry hook.

Thanks to some hunters I know I have some spare woodduck flank feathers I could share with flutterfly.

I'd be curious to see what these look like wet and how they match up to actual nymph coloration. One thing I'm guilty of is not checking my nymphal patterns against live nymphs. Mine work but in my mind they could do better. The benchmark I use them against is my first trip to Chopaka in 1977 and ho...

Found them on Jim's website and called and talked to Ron. He is shipping me a small Wasatch bobbin holder. I'm running out of excuses, I'm going to have to start tying before long. Thanks for the recommendations. When the first 4 agree, that would be the way to go! Kirk Ron is the person who steere...

I think I saw seal at feathersmc.com.
