  1. Any one have any good Mountain white fish flys you like. If so also pleas add what hook size you are making the flys with. Thanks
  2. There are so many feathers in the fly shops called "Hackle". i have no clue what type to get for making dry flys like the adams dry fly. what are the feathers called? Thanks
  3. Anyone made a bamboo fly rod before. If so how do you make a tapering planing form. I have been reading up on how to make the rod but i don't have a planing form yet .Also anything more that will help me starting my own homemade Bamboo fly rod. Like what length and weight to make it, Two three or four piece. Things like that. Thanks.
  4. I am starting some small 18 and 20 flys and want to know what size of bead heads to use? And what color is better gold or copper? Thanks
  5. What is a good length of tippet to add to your line? I right know have about 9 feet and it seems good but im not sure if that is to long or to short. Also do you need to have leader and tippet or can you have just tippet? Thanks!
  6. i have tyed some yellow and orange yarn strike indicators. I want to know if these are two bright of colors and the fish will be able to see it to easily and scare them of. Thanks
  7. I am going after 3 fish. Trout, Pike and bass. I have 3 different size tippet for the different fish. I was wondering if i could make a loop at end of tippet and another loop at end of fly line and connect the two just using the loops. It would be much easier then tying the tippet onto the line each time i want to go for a different fish. Also i want to know if my line is a good size for the fish. for Pike I have 40lb mono line, I know it is big for but i chose it so the pike wont cut the line as easily. Bass i got some 10lb line and trout i have some 6lb. thanks
  8. Could someone pleas tell me how to add rabbit fur tails to my flys. Like how they should look and how long to make them. Thanks

  10. What are some good flys to tie for pike? Thanks
  11. Is 5 weight rod to small for pike and bass. I now it is getting a bit small for them but will it still work. I'm not going after monster 20lb pike or anything. Thanks
  12. What are some good flys to tie that will float super good.I want to use it as my strike indicator so it has to be a good floater. And it cant be big, the trout are only little guys. Thanks
  13. Does anyone have a good damsel fly patter. Don't need to show me your pattern but at least show me the finished fly. Thanks
  14. These trout are 8-12 inch fish.what are some good flys for small trout. And any tips for catching these little guys. Ive caught these fish with a bobber and worms, i couldn't keep them of my line. Thanks
  15. Nice chironomids and blood worms are easy to tie and work great.
  16. Does anyone know how to tie the hoppicator. It is a dry fly used for a strike indicator.
  17. I was wondering how one would go to set up a dry fly as your strike indicator. How to attach the nymph to the dry fly and how to easily change nymph depth. Thanks
  18. What hook size is a good size for a trout chironomid. Also How big will they get (hook size).
  19. I have a 5 weight fly line and i am wondering what the wait is in pounds?
  20. Must be a rotating vise. I have a griffin spider vise and it works great. It was only $100 and it works as good as a $400 vise. The jaws are a nice width and it is easy to adjust. It clamps onto a desk and has a cork clamp so it dosent scrape the table. The rotating mechanism works amazing. You can easily change the rotating grip. This is to me one of the best vises out there.For the price you should go out there and get one right now.
