Pleasure. I agree it is cool stuff.

Haven't seen anything tied w/ peccary in a while. Very nice tie @niveker. Plus 2 for the moose hair tails. I'll take that shaggy wire caddis

👍 (except when I post something I've tied 😉)

Sometimes clarity is better than creativity.

Welcome from Colorado. Let's see some of the flies you twisted up. Hope you enjoy the comment here. It's s great crew.

Ditto!

I go where I hope the fish will bite. Hahaha. I'm interested. What's the scoop with the tie-along? I'm hoping you mean Minturn Anglers over by Park Meadows. You ever fish the South Platte between Waterton and Chatfield?

Thank you flyflinger. Charlie's and Anglers All are my go to shops for "stuff". AvidMax every once in a while. Blue Quill is cool, but too far from me for regular visits. Good catch with the DWR site. My buddy and I use that as one of our most important tools for where to go.

Mostly river, like 98%. How about you? I'm in the Denver area. Thinking about coming to one of your FFI meetings.

Welcome fellow Coloradan.

Welcome Harry3, post 'em up

Welcome. Nice start to the journey. "I'm on here to soak in information, get some questions answered if any pop up, and hopefully help some others out along the way!" This would be that place.

looks good to me.

Looks like a beauty set up Steve.

Can't remember from who one box was. I will say they were really nice. Got a bunch from Norm and they were superb. Thanks to everyone especially Nick for ramrodding this swap

Thanks

Very nice tie. I know it's a bit of a pain but it's an incredibly effective pattern and worth the effort

"i do not tie inside an igloo", Mark does

That picture was with standard jaws. Midge jaws will give you more clearance. Here's a 22, I believe, in midge jaws. Granted the hook is shoved back in the jaws for the picture. When I tie the hook bend would be flush with the front edge of the jaws.

I tire 24s and smaller on my dyna king pro. I think this one is a 24. Maybe a 22 but I think 24.

Since you tie in hand in thought you were going to show us some blingy nails. (All in good fun) the vise looks cool, nice job!

Love my Nautilus XM for the 4 and 5 wt. and my Galvan rush for a dedicated 4 wt. Large arbors with an excellent drag on both of them

As long as the water isn't hard and the temps won't have my guides freezing up every other cast, I'll go
