flytire

Initially i thought the body was blue tinsel but when I unwrapped the fly the body is silver tinsel wrapped with blue plastic would there be that much of a difference if the body WAS blue tinsel and then wrapped with clear plastic? tie a couple of flies and fish them. try a blue mylar balloon and clear zip lock baggie be creative. experiment

my worst flies are in a tree somewhere on the south platte river in colorado and were placed there by some of the most erratic casting by a newbie to fly fishing. sorry but i'm not going back to find them!

The Spinning Attachment is an accessory that allows the tyer to rotate the vise with the palm of his/her hands. i have never seen it until now. @ $35 i dont think i'd buy it for my style of tying. i dont need to speed tie

thats different the closer i get, more mistakes are revealed

eating like a pig then taking a nap after/while watching the same football team play over and over year after year. yawn!

Add I get mine at books a million but borders or Barnes and nobles should have carry it

swapmeister are any fly patterns from the fly tyer website acceptable (for tyers with no access to the magazine)? http://www.flytyer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=60

im in ill find a copy at the newsstand

did the editor of California Fly Fisher offer any advise on what type of articles might be acceptable? how about a favorite river you like to fish (don't give out them honey holes) a favorite fly pattern and its history an article about fishing with a parent float tubing your favorite pond/lake a fly fishing trip yada yada yada

"How many of you guys would be interested in an app where you select the materials you currently own from perhaps an assortment of expandable charts and then you could see what flies you were able to tie?" if you take for example one material such as peacock herl, wouldn't your app have to contain a massive amount of flies containing peacock herl? just doing a GOOGLE search for "flies using peacock herl" come up with a massive amount of flies. viewing an app on a smartphone is just way too small for me. I would rather GOOGLE fly patterns and view them on a 22 inch monitor rather than a smartphone screen

variants indeed

the recreation department where i used to work in the early 1980's was offering free fly tying and fly fishing classes. i have been doing both since then. thats my story and i'm sticking to it!
