Seems to me if you are going to be a fly tyer then you need to be able to tie a Catskill style dry. I'd start with a Wullf style hairwing. Kip is cheeper to screw up than wood duck. JMHO

Fine book. I bought it way back when it 1st came out. Haven't opened it in years.

nice fly

Yup been there once. Bit of a drive from here. Mail ordered a few times too.

Or you can buy the whole hackle farm. http://theriaultflies.com/chickenhackle.html

Gotta disagree. Get a rotary, learn to use it, and you will never go back to fixed. Makes many tasks much easier. JMHO UMMV

Beaver, whitetail, black bear, duck and partridge are what I have in stuff that was harvested by friends. Borax and salt will cure anything. Just be sure you are vermin free before you put with your other stuff. I whine and beg for wood duck to all my friends come the season. A prime male woody will make a tier smile for months.

Once again Mr. Roy has ties a winner from waaaay outside the box. Strong work sir. :headbang:

Before the problems with the hackers I could log into the Classics forum with my same password and username as I use here. Now I can't. Anyway to fix it so I can have my same username here and there? tia

Calf tail is also called kip. Same thing.
