  1. I posted this one below as well and really like the 1/2 portion of the piping body and the wolly bugger style head for the remaining front half. Like these in olive or black but after seeing more of the previous posts will be trying some new colors. One thing I did leave out is a little crystal flash in the tail.... doooh.. Hans
  2. I tie up the traditional standard but have moved on to more of a pattern like in the test pic. Nice quick tie and fun to fish. Love the previous pics and ties. Cheers - Hans
  3. Thanks for the replys... Going to have to look at the SW that came w/the camera and see what happens. Cheers, Hans
  4. Need some assistance in getting the ability to post some pictures. I have the digital camera but need some help in resizing them to the minimum needed to post. Is there as program I can download to assist in getting them to the correct size. Thanks. Hans Also - camera is a 4 megapixel Kodak.
  5. Books I have --- 1. Spey Flies & Dee Flies -- John Shewey 2. How to Dress Salmon Flies -- Price Tannat 3. Trout -- Hughes 4. Classic Salmon Flies -- Frodin 5. Salmon Flies -- Poul Jorgenson 6. Fishing Atlantic Salmon -- Bates All good books and from the previous posts plenty of to choose from and everyone has their tastes. Cheers - Hansen
  6. I use the brassie hair packer. Works well for me. But the dowel idea certainly sounds intreging and will make one up and give it a try.

    Bobbins

    I use the ruby tipped Renzetti bobbins. Really like them and are priced around 17 - 20 bucks depending on where purchase. Cheers -- Hansen
  8. Very nice job. Certainly beats the white drafting table and tupperware tins that I have been using. Just have 2 large bins - one feathers & one fur... Really like the brass rod very good touch. - Hansen
  9. I'd be in for a grade A. PM me with the details. Cheers - Hansen
  10. For me... I'd have to say those midge patterns. I typically don't tie anything smaller than a 16. Those smaller like 18 - 22's are just out there. Bad enough to tie but attaching to a tippet yikes... Cheers, Hansen
  11. Just found this forum about a week ago. Really like what I see so far, certainly a good amount of tiers here. Been tying for about 7 years but as of late haven't tied much since have children 4 & 2. But have had them out for a little fly casting so things are progressing else where. Looking to get back to the bench in the next month or so when the holidays are over and the cold weather sets in. I tie mainly Steelhead & Salmon patterns and a few trout mixed in there as well. Also try to do a little duck hunting to augment the feather supply. Cheers -- Hansen / dbl_shot
  12. Been tying for about 7 years now off and on... Started out with a Renzetti traveler and then moved to a Regal. Use the regal mainly now as the go to vice. Love the holding power but w/small hooks beyond 16-20's have lost a few across the room. Cheers - Hansen
