I'm also curious as the Moisie River has now been added to the bucket list

Looks good now, that’s a great looking weed guard

Thx George, few dozen more I’ll and I’ll get the proportions dialled in. Gotta say, taking a razor to the ones I’m not happy with is satisfying in its own right.

Thx George, Dave posted some tying instruction on the Classic Salmon fly facebook page.

Sent you a PM

Working a Dave Carne’s tying course, it’s quite the resource he has made available.

Very neat, I took my 5yo to watch the eclipse and she has been pretty space focused since then. My telescope will be headed to her room once her little sister stops destroying her stuff just for fun.

Nice tie, it's a fun one

Well done Vic. Tim, enjoy your cement well and may your bench be forever spill free.

I may be wrong but I think they are speaking about adding enough thread to effectively close the gap where the wire of the eye comes around to meet the shank on an older(and some newer) hooks. There can be a small gap at that point the tippet can fall out of and even a rough edge that the tippet can get cut on. New hooks are better and this gap is almost negligible but if you are using 30D nano silk or other fine thread it might even slip into the eye when finishing the head.

Clown Shoe Caddis hook: TMC 2457 #12 thread: semperfli 30d olive body: small clear d-rib* wing: Elk** sighter: orange mcfly foam Hackle: grizzly thorax: black superfine * subbed larva lace tubing for d-rib, my d-rib has gotten kinda brittle ** time for new elk, i was getting busted tips like poopdeck had issues with next up is Charlie Craven’s Lucky B

I’ll spin up a clown shoe caddis at lunch. Looks like I have the stuff.

Some awesome flies coming off the vise this month. Bruce, is the spinning hair you have dyed over white or bleached then dyed?

Thx Norm, so far the sellers won’t ship it my side of the border. I’ve got a trip to Texas soon, worst case I’ll have it shipped to the hotel.
