  1. No bobber or bait. It’s a clear bubble/bobber you can fill with water to get your desired depth.Half full it still floats and you fish a dry fly behind it...3/4 full and it sinks a little and fish wet flys behind it. Something like this you thread your 6-8 pound test line through the bobber tie on a swivel and then add some 2lb tippet and your fly.
  2. No apologizes necessary for freebies Thank you very much...much appreciated 👍
  3. I dont get the point of this thread I clicked the link and really dont get what he did to piss people off what so some asshole died,assholes die every day. As long as youre bringing up astrology you want to talk about life after death? I have proof there is life after death. It has nothing to do with God or the Bible Ijust know there is life after death.
  4. I started to fly fish(spinning rod & a bubble)and to tie flies between the summer of first grade and the second grade...so what 8-9? I am 60 now. Never too early
  5. Im 60 I still have a couple small pieces of polar bear hair that I got when I was around 12 years old one is from Dan Bailey who I used to tie fles for, another is a small patch from friend who actually shot a polar bear. Kinda off-topic but this brings back a memory. The guy that shot the polar bear was 6 ft 6 in I can remember seeing Polaroid pictures of him holding king crab up over the top of his head and the legs are laying on the ground and theres 2-3 feet of leg above his hands. Just one leg was a meal most men couldnt finish.
  6. Your going cry when you snap it off on the bottom. Nice work! 👍
  7. Got mine today. Thank you Norm
  8. Ive never bought from them too many negative comments. For the last few years Ive been buying my hooks from Allen. Very pleased with them for the money and excellent customer service and delivery times. His B200 is my favorite Bass fly hook regardless of price. They have deals and coupons all the time also
  9. Not bad but in my opinion you to go a lot sparser with the Marabou...a lot sparser.Less is more.
  10. Yes it has so let’s see some of your deer work I’ve missed so bad.
  11. Just playing around with something I saw posted the other day. More to come.
  12. Yep pretty much the same thing.I remember why I quit tying them now,they will eat up a saddle patch real quick. Working on a olive one tonight. Post it when I get it done
  13. Here is a real one..Black eye lash yarn for the body , 8 hackles hanging off the back with some black and gold Krystal flash. Tied on Owner straight 3/0 worm hook. 7.5 long...Sorry but I cant seem to get a good picture of the fly with my phone
