Just got my signed copy last week. I haven't watched any of the videos yet, but I'm half way thru the book. Can't wait to get on the stream and try out some of the techniques. I really haven't done much nymph fishing, and only 3 years experience with spiders, but I'm hooked. Very interesting and ext...

Just got my order from Bob. That was fast. I ordered them Monday and got them today, Friday. I am a customer for as long as he sells them! $7 a 100, and free shipping! Wow, incredible!! I just bought 400, 12-18, to check them out. I will definitely be buying more. Again, thanks for the tip. This is ...

And here is another pair of original Yorkshire spiders. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7bO-a6oA1IQ/VIEXlk6WRVI/AAAAAAAAM6E/2vzC7bRjrdo/s800/_DSC4156.jpg John - What can you tell us about these two spiders? What is the red strand hanging off the top fly? Is this silk floss, that has been broken ...

PhilA - Thanks for the pics of Datus Proper's traveling fly tying kit. Amazing! I need to get his book out and read it again this winter. So many books, so little time. I'm finding since I got hooked on soft hackles that I have been accumulating quite a bit of materials in the past 4 years. Not even...

Beautiful Ray, and excellent photos too!

Thanks for the tip. I've been getting my hooks from Hook and Hackle for the past several years, but they aren't selling them anymore. This is a much better price too. Definitely gonna start buying some of these when my stash starts going down.

Thanks for posting the PDF! Yep, I downloaded it too. That is a good find, thank you. It is also available in a new edition by this editors son, Tom Cross, namely Martin Cross. This edition includes pictures in colour. https://www.anglebooks.com/jim-wynn-s-recommended-flies-for-the-river-wharfe.html...

I'll just simply go to the Project Gutenburd site (or other sites) and download the old, original book in either pdf or text version. Bob Thanks Bob. I have been using Google Books and archive.org for years. Never heard of Gutenberg.org. I will start searching here for books I haven't been able to ...

Awesome tie Ray! I just went to Joann's and picked 2 of the colors, Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool #098 and the Patons bright red. The lady at Joann's said she has never seen any of the Lion Brand Red #114 in stock. They didn't have any of the Felt Works Cheddar either, so I ordered some on Amazon. Can...

Just came across this thread yesterday. This has been one of the most informative threads I've read in a little while. BTW, I bought "The History of Fly Fishing," which came out November of 2019, as a Christmas gift to myself. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Looking to get Volume 2 in the...
