  1. I tried to post some new things on my blog and i keep getting errors popping up. Media won't up load, can't get the main page to load(Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/hatches/public_html/blogs/wp-config.php on line 134) this is the latest error to come up but have no idea what it means any help would be great.
  2. Hi Ridleyffo The water boatman works great on a lot of the lake's around here,I fish them on either a sink tip line or a full sink.The legs on the boatman are green stretch floss,when you rap the body material from front to back and then back to the hook eye, tie off the shell back and finish the fly.Then all you have to do is thread the floss through the body using a needle it works great and is fast to tie.The body material on the cased caddis are body feathers from a hen pheasant, they are tied in by the tips and wound forward. It took about three to four feathers to do the body,once you get the lenght of the body you wont just trim to shape.
  3. This week I have been tying a few different things Water boatman,cased caddis pupa,red back pheasant.
  4. I just sent my flys out today(air mail ), so they should be there in a few days hopefully.
  5. I just got these a little while a go and they seem to hold a lot of flys with out crushing them all.they are made by springbrook and sell for around 20 bucks here in Canada but you could probably find them cheaper on the web.Here are some pic's

  9. WOW rocky those fly's are awesome,were do you get your hooks from I would love to try some of those patterns.
  10. Thanks for the compliments E.Oregon Midge and that is one awesome tie,what's the name of the fly.And Brian that Guinea Queen looks so cool.
  11. I've been working on quill nymph patterns the last few days and here they are.
  12. Most of the time I fish nymphs and wooly buggers but there is nothing like taking a trout on a dry fly.
  13. Very cool looking fly, I'm going to make some of those for my box thanks for the post.
  14. I don't use epoxy for my scuds i use a product called thin skin, it looks just like epoxy but has none of the fumes and doesn't dry out as fast.The way I do it is to tie a scud just like normal,rap the dubbing on the hook and then rib it with wire or mono which ever you like. Then coat the back of the scud with the thin skin or epoxy and turn it upside down to dry so that the epoxy does not run into the dubbed fibers that form the legs of the scud.You my have to do two coats of the epoxy to get the desired look depending on how much of the epoxy soaks into the dubbing.Most of the time I will tie up a big batch of scuds and then put the epoxy on, it saves a lot of time doing it in one batch an you waste less epoxy.One little tip is that when i use the thin skin it shrinks a little so i put a bit more on the first time it might look funny but it dry's out perfect but i don't know about the epoxy.
  15. Up here my family and I have a lake we fish for perch every year, most of the time we end up use the same fly all the time it's a bead head black sparkle leech.The last time we were there we caught 140 perch between the three of us and no we didn't keep them all.
