Puting the fiber into the loop Positioning the fibers prior to spining, note aprox 2/3 of fiber is on one side of loop, this allows the loop to be more of a hackel After spinning the loop i take a brush and brush the longer fibers on one side of the loop wound on hook Brett, is this series of pic what your trying to do? I hope this was some help.

It seems to me that all emminent domaine is being used for anymore is have the gov (of bought politicans) forceing you to sell your poperty to their friends at a price that they feel like paying, and not a price set by the owner of the property. Its one thing to use the property for a true public work( a road), but prostituting the law for corporate benifit is just wrong. But as long as the business can bribe the politicans,and call it a campain contribution, i see no hope for the little man. Thats my rant and im stickin to it.

Damian, i got your flies today. You do nice work. I'll post a pic soon.

I got my flies today and they were worth the wait. Hillbilly, thanks for hosting this one. To the swappers, the flies looked great.ev3eryone did an excelent job on the flies.

I got em mailed today. They should be there soon.

when i quit, i went thru a mountain of bubble gum and tootsie pops.

Yea, now that im getting older , i found i have to limit my drukenbinge/orgies to just three out of four weekends. Guess what weekend the last one was. Its hell getting old. soon im gonna need

You mean any fly, for any species(trout,bass,carp,etc), any size(28-5/0) , salt or freshwater?????Just something i think i tie as good as i can. Oh my god , im never gonna be able to pick a fly Of course, im in

Mozes Flies are done.Please pm the address. Thanks

Stick it out skunked, its gonna be tough. I know , ive been smoke free for nine yrs now,and i still get cravings. I used a simple two step process to quit. Step one- Quit buying them Step two comes when your friends stop letting you smoke theirs. Good luck quiting

Here is a clouser crippled minnow using spun deer hais as the head i tied for smallie hunters swap

The flies came today, they were waiting in the mail. Mcfly, thank you for hosting this swap. To all the tyers, you guys did a great job on the flies,with these babies in my box , those trout dont stand a chance.

Thanks for the help, im gonna try em both , anything is better than haveng to untie a wetzonkerstrip midstream.

When fishing large zonkers, where i have left the rabbit strip long, it seen as if the strip always half hitches itself arround the bend of the hook. It seems like i spend more time unfouling the fly that fishing it. Is there something i can use when tying the fly to minimize this, that will not ruin the action of the zonker strip or the fly?

The flies came today. Tube, i want to thank you for hosting this swap. I opened the package and The flies look great This swap has proved to me that there are some awsome flytiers out there,and i got a ways to go to get there. Thanks to everyone. Joe

Heres what im tying . Now if i can just keep from cuting my fingers off with the razor blade.

Do you think i got a chance? After all , it is a dry fly.

Will Fly patterns are constantly evolving. New materials are being used , replacing old ones. In effect, there is no wrong way to tie a pattern. Even among the diffrent pattern books i have there are variations . Some were designed for english chalk streams, some for the rockies, and some for the east coast. Not to hention the loacl killer patterns. In a recent article written by A K Best, he estimates that there are over 4000 ways to tie an adams dry fly. All i can suggest is tie it how you want to and hope the pattern police dont jump out of the shrubbery to arrest you when you use it.

Cool, im gonna try some Dahalberg Divers. It will probably end up looking like Salvador Dali - berg diver.

I got em mailed out today, should be there soon.

How do you tie on the quarter? and Do the carp give change? The made me do it.

Would spun deer hair be ok? I can use a beard trimmer if you insist that power tools be involved.

My favorite hatch would have to be the sulpher hatch , on Oil creek in nw pa, for two reasons. 1st its a very heavy hatch that lasts for about 3weeks, and 2ed it occurs at tha magical time of the year that the trout seem to be active and feeding from sunup to sundown. Even thougt the emergence and spinner fall occure in the evening, you can catch em with the same fly all day. I think on oil creek there are two diffrent bugs that hatch , one larger than the other, but since they happen back to back , the hatch gets merged into one big sulpher hatch. its just later in the month smaller flies seem to work better.

I recently bought a fujifilm s3100 at walmart for 250. it has a macro mode and a 6x optical zoom, and fairly idiot proof because i aint broke it yet. But it isnt waterproof and it is a little on the big side,im happy with it but i aint no pro either. It has a 3x ditial zoom too.
