I am a trout Tailrace fisherman. So my most two usded flies are Comparaduns and a nymph I tie called the Copperhead. A close third is a fly I tie called the Loop Wing Dunn- a dynamite little dry emerger.

Is this one filled? Just saw it. Rod C

The body should be at least one size smaller than the Front hackle. I bet that is your problem. At least one size... try even smaller than that just to see.
-
Definetly trimming the bottom will work. Just wondering if you are using smaller hackle for the body than for the face of the fly?
-
Dang nice fish... Yep- you were the lucky one

It sure helps to be a writer... To be good enouhg writer to get published by National Mags. is a biggy.... Exposure---

I would love to do this. Not much of a writer- but hope I make time to do this..

Another idea might be: Guide's Favorites. That could be interesting.... if you can get guides to do it..

That Greg- kerusso flat caught some big fish. And had many others on. I had a ball watching him enjoy such an experience. I knew he would. Something good about you that day Greg, was you knew how to fight fish. And you are a fisherman. You know fish and that is so important. And the really neat thing was , you got a grasp of what you were in. It doesn't happen like that much. You were on a special river at special time of year. May Thursday and Friday be the same. Buzz me . There was a change in what Matt and client caught them on today.

Fly Mater- Stu, that is you ? I fished it two days each week, the last couple of weeks. It has been sweet !! Again, that is only my take on the Dai- Rikis. A lot has to do with subjective stuff- and what you have confidence in. Hey guys , I got 4,000 or more Dai- Rikis. If you want them, let me know. Will cut a very good eal on them.

A Dyna - King Barracuda and love it. Range is so large. It is a sweet tool.

You got to debarb TMC's . I sell both and fish both. Of course, that is a steal. But here is my take. The Dai- Rikis are no the quality hook of the TMC. I don't think they keep they edge as long. And they are not aas strong in most model. For instance the TMC 200 R vs. the Dai- Riki 270 . The 270 will break in your vise a lot. 200 R is a tank. My real problem with them is not staying sharp as long. But as Greg Quals from this board says -He doesn't keep nymphs around long enough for that to come into play. Good point. But if happen to catch 10 or more fish on a hook, and the big one strikes and you lose him because of the dulled point...... But Gregg's statement got me to go back and use the Dai- Riki 135's for nymphs and all is well so far. But if you debarb the TMC's , the problem is solved . Heck, that is the main reason to debarb a hook- so the fly will last. The Daiichi is a sharper hook and definetly keeps it's edge longet than the Dai- Riki's but debarbing them is essential there also.
