Here are some more pro tubes for inspiration Chris

A simple selection of rabbit strips, marabou, and hackle should suit you well. I reccomend picking up natural, vivid and subdued colors of each. Chris

Sweet fly...., I love the ribbing CHris

I am not sure were you are located but i know that tight lines in NJ has them as well as many fly shops on the west coast of the US. Although the product is pricey, because all the components are interchangeable you end up having to buy less materials. http://www.flymart.ca/default.aspx?ctl=ctl...category_id=170 http://www.tightlinesflyfishing.com/shopon...ing/protube.htm Chris Anyone else tie on pro-tubes?

Hello everyone, Here are some of my recent flies. Tied on pro-tubes they are really versatile allowing you to interchange all parts and make stream side adjustments. These are tied with a bullet weight in the middle and weightless sonic tubes which push water and create a larger profile. All of the bodies are the same but the differance in cone size really affects the end result. By melting back the slightest bit of tubing these cones can be swapped on and off. If anyone out there is tying on protubes im sure as well as me would be very interested in seeing your creations.

That will do well on the salmon. As a matter of fact all great lake tribs. Great job! Chris

Your Dry flies are simply the best!!! chris

I too have used both egg yarn and mcfly foam. i used to like mcfly foam because it is easier to but recently i have changed my views. I found that egg yarn sinks faster and is more vibrant in the water. It also has a more symmetrical look in the water(which probably inst important) As for tying method i tie it in as if it was a parachute. It lasts longer and does not impede the hook gap.

As of two weeks ago this is my collection of boxes. I now has one more full and a nymph box tags along as well. IMG_7029.bmp Busy bobbin, chris

Hey everyone, I have been away form the forum lately because i have been so darn busy but i have been popping in and out to see all the art. Great job every one. For the past month and a halve i have been busy with things right after another. Has anyone fished for GREENBACKS in colorado. I will be going out there in early july and i am looking to hook into a few of those beauties. If any one has or has any info please let me know. After that i will go down to the center the state and end in mesa Verde I am going out to meet my Norwegian uncle. thanks, chris

Wow, Thanks to every one who has offered their help and support. It would be great to receive some didymo from such diverse sources. I was thinking of shipping in a CLEANED medicine bottle or the sort. I will be PMing all of you generous folks. If posible direct collection i.e( without a transfer of containers) would be prefered but that is not at all necessary. Again, i would like to thank you all so much for your contribution. Thanks, chris

Hello every, I am doing a supervised project on Didymosphenia geminata. Students in my shchool are required to preform and entire lab on a subject of our choice. I Chose Didymo the invasive diatom which has the potential to destroy entire watersheds. Again this expereiment will be supervised and proper disposial of excess didymos will be certain. I am wonding if anyone would be able to send me a sample from your watershed so we can be sure that our results are not biased based on the individual populations prefered living conditions. I will pay for shipping of a small sample size. Thank you very much for your time, Christopher Warren

Hello everyone, Im not sure where to post it so i put it here. I tried to upload and image for my personal photo, it said my image was to large so i resized it on photoshop editor. It said that it was still too large. Can anyone help? Thanks- Chris warren

hey, leaches... eggsuckers, bunny flies, speys for swinging, intruders, buggers buggers buggers, egg patterns 16-10(contraversial but i would go ahead.) articulated flies such as sculpins(great lakes). You can do well with most attractor patterns. Considering the conditions are right you will never forget the thrill of these fish. I myself am begininer but still i hope this helps. Busted knuckles, Chris

Thank you very much. I just wrote Jeff an email so i will be waiting to hear back. Thanks again, Chris

Hey everyone, I was wondering if any of you know much about fly fishing Marthas vineyard. I will be going up on the 13th to see my aunt and i was wondering if anyone knows of a proven spot. This will be my first time fly fishing in salt water. I have an 8/9 wt and i was wondering if that has enough backbone. Being that i am only 14 i cant afford a charter but hopefully when i go up during the peak months i will have saved up enough. Any tipes or info on wade/ dry land fishing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris

Hello, I was wondering whats going on at the willow latley. I was wondering if the bwo's started yet of if i should stick to terrestrials. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have not been up to the willow in a few months. thanks, chris

hey, I will be going to drop my sister off at collage in plattsburgh. Does anybody know of good spots on the saranac, what to use? Also what is hatching up there right now. Help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris

Very nice photos. Looks like a dog was enjoying those veiws from the window too. Greatwork, Chris

[i have heard of people using very large streamer such as leaches and minnow imitations. Many of these patterns invole some type of articulation to further induce a strike. I have seen people using toned down versions of pike flies. Also remember that bull trout are threatened and in some places endangered. I am sure i dont have to tell you that you should treat them with the upmost respect. Good luck. You might also want to come up with a fly that imitates the young ct in your area. Hope this helps, Chris

hey, The main diffirence between the two products is that mcflyfoam has a spongy feeling. This seems to help in tying up eggs. I use both products. When i tie with regular egg yarn i use heavy thread and tie in material on the top and bottom of the hook shank. Hope this helps. Chris

Hey everyone, I am going to be staying at fern lake in the adorandacks next week. I was wondering if you guys have any suggested spots on the ausable or nearby. I'll be looking for some browns and brookies. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Also if you could suggest some killer flies for right now you could make my month. Thanks Tight lines and busy bobbins, Chris
