I've been told that the only CDC that works in the tool is the stuff sold by the guy who makes it and his stuff is from geese.So I reckon if you can get goose CDC you should be OK. Ashley

Happy birthday Gregor. Whens the season start?I cannt wait to get over in June. Ashley

I use mink on two of my best dries,1 of which is deadly for Grayling in late fall/winter I think they take for midges.The other is good in March/April. I've also got a mink strip streamer which I'm taking to Slovenia in June. Ashley

For most of my tying I use UTC 140 cos I cant break it,Uni thread and mono come pretty close togeather.

Welcome Mayfly, Where in Ireland are you?I'm going to fish the Corrib at the end of April. Ashley

Congrats Greyson,I only been on TV once......the day I took off sick and the boss saw me fishing

I don't get mine for another 3 weeks BOOOOO. I always look forward to it.

Glad you liked the fly.The hook is a TMC 200, the bead is one I got from a craft store. Ashley

welcome,I'm sure I've seen under a different name.

The egg needs to be more round as in needs an underneath.I use them for grayling but just recently I've gone over to hot glue eggs.

Mine is chalkstream chronicle by Neil Patterson and striper flies by Jack Gartside

Will, My boy likes to sit and tie flies with me like that,just last week he made me tie a fly with him out of my scraps.It looked good to and yes I still got it. My daughter now wants me to build her a rod(in Barbie pink ????)

I would go to the Bahamas bone fishing or Florida for the Tarpon.Actually if I hadn't left it to late for research and getting a cheap flight I'd be going this year! Where's troutbum live again?

The first goal is to fish more than I did last year. 2.Not to break a rod on a bluefish or anything else. 3.Fish streamers in trout streams more.

I'm no were near stocked up.Been mostly doing swap flies and trying new stuff.I'm waaaay behind and the season starts 3rd march.

I use JC for my salmon flies the last cape I bought was 3 months ago and was about $70(I think,rough guess).

I did it last year and I'll do it again.2 doz griffiths gnats(16). How soon? Ashley

QUOTE (Shoe @ Feb 5 2004, 01:37 PM) Next thing, they'll have you fishing off a bridge at a trout pond next to a fly shop...lol This is nothing,I once worked on a trout farm and the boss caught trying a new fly in the stew pond right behind his house.

Hope he can shoot straight after all that beer.With that lot he must have to wait a looong time.

QUOTE (DFix @ Jan 30 2004, 04:17 PM) can be construed as material requiring duty be paid upon entry into the foreign country. This all depends on how much the items is worth,generally I get swaps back with $0 to $10 written on the declarention form which means a duty is not due.Anything over $30 (I think) is charged a duty or tax at a standrd rate.Some packets do get through above the rate and I don't pay anything!

Congrats to all the winners,it was very hard to choose cos all the flies were excellent. Thanks to SM and BDH for putting this togeather. Back to the drawing board for me.

When I'm travelling I use a cheap regal copy simply because I've been know to leave a vice still clamped to the table in the hotel. At home I use a regal original and dyna king barracuda.

I'm in.With a hares ears nymph,don't know which colour I'll do.

Nice box,after all the woolly buggers I've been tying I could do with one.Do you carry it or does it have wheels?

Philly, your agood sport,the flies are great.
