flytire

Its in the May 2005 issue of Fly Fisherman magazine, page 77. Heres the recipe Cathys Super Bugger ( thats the name given in the magazine ) hook: #6-8 tiemco 3761 thread: tan, black or olive 3/0 tail: marabou tied over 6 strands of krystal flash body: black soft hackle legs: 3 sililegs per side collar: orange saddle hackle eyes: yellow and black hourglass eyes head: tan, olive or black spikey dubbing wrapped around the eyes for small fotos see: http://www.barryandcathybeck.com/allmerch.html scroll down to the flies section Do a GOOGLE search for additional info

Not so sure a recipe is needed, but here is some fotos for ya: http://www.feather-craft.com/2005MAster/fcpage.asp?page=49 Scroll to almost the bottom of the page. Heres another: http://ozarkanglers.com/hot_flies.php Scroll down about 1/4 of the way down. This is a killer for them bluegills. Spelling is also important in finding things on the www. Its Mackie Bug, not Mackey.

How do you hold up a calf tail wing post? Or a turkey flat feather wing post? etc

If you are prone to nicking and breaking thread on the hook point then bury the point out of the way. If not then it doesnt really matter one way or the other.

Its easy when you GOOGLE http://www.westfly.com/patterns/dry/sproutmidge.shtml

Andy, The flies that you mention above, in what sizes do you tie them? What "simple" or "easy" flies do you recommend for a newie to tie?

1) Always 2) No 3) Absolutely

Looks good!!! I'll take a dozen!!

elkcrazy, I too carry alot of flies but Ive come to realize I probably only use about a dozen or so on each outing. So with that Feather-Craft box Ive divided it into 2 boxes, 1 for Mayflies and the other for Caddis. But I also have backup boxes just in case!!!

I use this kind of box from Feather Craft pg 28 of the 2005 catalog

Send them my way. I'll fish them!

QUOTE (nedbm3 @ Feb 23 2005, 10:21 PM) Is that the Eastern Fly Tyer magazine? I know their first issue was supposed to be in March. I never got that issue yet. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pennsylvaniaflyfishing/ I believe your think about "Eastern Fly Fishing" not "Eastern Fly Tyer" magazine.

Work on the head proprtions and shorten up on the wooly bugger tail. It will end up wrapping around the hook. Just my opinion, yours will vary.

Are freshwater clousers tied differently than saltwater clousers? Are saltwater clousers tied heavier? Does one clouser tied sparse outfish one tied a little heavier? Do fish count hairs?

If you are in Canada, how does the shipping to the USA work and the legality of it? How about CITES? etc etc etc

It costs $10 to watch and/or tie flies? No guest speaker? Whats the program for the evening?

Heres a very informative article on CDC. http://www.flyfisherman.com/ftb/hwcdc/index.html

Its your money! I like the Tiemco ceramic bobbins and just bought one from DR Slick. Not a bad bobbin for the price.

If you tie them like this one you should be all right http://www.danica.com/flytier/lwilliams/quill_gordon.htm

Heres a good photo article http://globalflyfisher.com/gallery/digitizing/digital.html

You got yours in the UK and I still havent got mine in Connecticut! How about it there Swapmeister? Any insight as to where they went?

Does the Canadian Postal Service have a Pony Express mail system also? Still waiting for flies!
