  1. Tungsten 1.5mm through 3mm shipped in the United States for $14 per hundred. 4.0mm and 4.6mm $18 per hundred. gold, copper, black, black nickel, silver silver nickel are the colors.
  2. If it is Tungsten I will beat them all on price. They are 1.5mm through 3.0mm $15 per hundred and 4mm and 4.6mm $20 per hundred, shipping included.
  3. Find you some jig heads to tie them on and it will make the process a lot easier and work just as well.
  4. those flies are tied on jig heads that I painted with powder paint. I use 1/80 and 1/100 most of time.
  5. I will probably get a chance to use them the later part of this month in Loveland, Co. If it wasnt for this site and you guys I wouldnt have known anything about Reel Recovery and now I was excepted to the Loveland trip and will get to spend 3 days with guys that share the same troubles and problems that I do and I will also get to spend 2 days fishing in Co. Thanks. Charlie Bonner
  6. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g22/parr...rb/000_0004.jpg Heres a photo of my favorite bream fly but I cant figure out how to post as a picture just the link.
  7. I use a float and a superlong leader and watch for a very subtle strikes. I have used up to 30 feet worth tippet and everything before most of the times the hits are on the fall.
  8. Pro Tech powder paint and a lighter, just head for about 6 seconds and swipe through the powder paint and its done.
  9. I will get some photos of those flies and post them on here. I dont have any photos of them right now.
  10. 1/80 jig head painted pink charltruese legs, four in rear black ice chenille body and then two more rubber legs on each side next to head. ITs also a killer bream and bluegill fly fished under a strike indicator.
  11. wheres the best place to find those hooks?
  12. I stock 4.6mm, they weight .8871 grams a 5.5mm weighs 1.5341 grams.
  13. It is mucillin that I have heard most folks use when greasing leaders.
  14. Covering the last few feet of tippet to make it ride high in the film.
  15. Skiperie I think the tail on that picture is much more important that the ones on your flies. MARK!!! Geez, I thought you fell off the planet. You stay in Arkansas much? Are we going to see you at sowbug? Charlie
  16. Good looking fly, I dont know what it is about yellow and black but the bream and redear around here love that color combo.
  17. That would be an excellent bluegill fly as well espcially tied in yellow and black. That combo seems to work the best for me here in Arkansas.
  18. I am suprised that no one listed quail. I use bobwhite for most of my soft hackles because I have a local supplier. It makes excellent soft hackles and the bird also has some small feathers on it.
  19. I take it your a fellow Razorback fan? I live in Ozark, Arkansas. I have tons of zebras, I'll put a few of them in the box.
  20. I have some family friends that are celebrating 50 years of marriage next week. MY family is doing a big basket of goodies for them and I have been assigned flies. They will be spending the summer in the Jackson Hole Area and I am wanting some basic nyphm patters to tie up for them, they already have dries. If you have to carry say 3 or 4 dozen nymphs what would they be. Thanks.
  21. I have a good supply of empty danville spools. How many do you want?
  22. If I can one suggestion that is helped me out it would be this... when you think you have the right amount of dubbing to complete a fly cut that amount in half and then sometimes cut it by 3/4 and then dub. A lot of porportion problems stem from to much materials.
