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!

Try making it look like this:

I'd probably do some reasearch on where in Colorado I'll be fishing. Then I'd search out some flyshops in that area to find out what really hatches during my visit and tie up whats recommend. Winters here and now is a good time to tie flies. I'd be tying midges midges and midges. By the way have I mentioned midges. Elk hair caddis, Blue wing olives are good ones too. For some midges, try this: http://www.danica.com/flytier/nfrechette/nfrechette.htm http://www.danica.com/flytier/rtakahashi/rtakahashi.htm http://www.danica.com/flytier/ccraven/ccraven.htm http://www.danica.com/flytier/jduran/jduran.htm http://www.danica.com/flytier/jbarela/jbarela.htm

oops

Alan, How about posting up some of those perfections you tie? Do you have a website?

There was a product awhile back called "Micro Cables" from a company called "Doug's Bougs" that did exactly what you are doing by twisting multiple strands of the same color wires together and multiple colored strands of wire together. Heres a link that talks about them: http://flyfishing.about.com/ftb/ssmaterials/index10.html Dont forget to use the MACRO function on your camera. The symbol is usually a flower. Put a colored piece of paper behind the fly and have some good lighting. Turn OFF the flash.

QUOTE (JarrodRuggles @ Dec 31 2004, 05:29 PM) If I just totally screw it up,.....I take a razor and POOF! A new hook to start again. Jarrod, Why did you waste all the time and effort and totally screw it up when all that was necessary was to back up a step or two and get it correct in the first place? When I tie, Ive got a foto of what I'm tying either from a book, on my computer monitor or on a paper I copied from the net. If my fly dont look similar, I'll find out right away where I goofed up and redo the step not the entire fly. Everybodies methods to this madness of fly tying is different anyway!

Might be cheaper to dangle you feet in the water!

The Gunnison is manufactured by Classic Accessories. Try this: http://206.129.99.165/product.asp?Product_...l1=5913&l2=7172

Strip the herl and tie a s&^t load of "Quill Gordons"!

Al Beatty, Theres always a bunch of people requesting "Where can I get 100 packs of beads?" Why dont you supply them instead of sending them to other suppliers? Seems to me you are losing out here?

http://www.traditionalangler.com/beads.asp has the by the 100 pack. Excellent shop to deal with! http://www.canadianllama.com/cat3_1.htm 100 packs

Since you probably already know how to tie a Stimulator fly pattern, just add rubber legs of your choice. You can find the Stimulator pattern recipe online using GOOGLE and type in the search box "stimulator fly pattern recipe".

How about a ride to your local craft store. They must sell mohair yarn? If you buy a skien, youll have mohair for life!

Same place or a different location?

A thumb and fore singer. Theyre cheap!

tightlines, Thanks. I was fearing the United States Pony Express ( Oops!! Postal Service)wouldnt deliver in time.

Tightlines, Second request. Have you received my flies yet? Just wondering.

tightlines, have you received my flies yet? Just wondering.

It was easier to put a couple of bucks in the envelope than to try to explain the coupon thing!

Dfix, Thats exactly what I told them and the USPS is still Clueless in Connecticut!

Tightlines, I put my flies in the mail this morning and they are on their way. I also asked the clerk at the post office for an "International Reply Coupon" and she had no clue what I was asking for. Anyway I included $2.00 for return postage. It only cost $1.85 to mail it to Canada! I wont post the pattern recipe here since it will be on the card everybody will receive with their fly. Thanks for hosting this swap.

Is 10 flies the correct amount???
