Old Hat 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 My name is Old Hat.... ...and I have been a Flymph fisher for more years than I can recall. I can't go fishing without throwing one in the water. Even when I'm after the steelies. This landed a steely for me last week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 Thanks, I've been working on my photos lately trying to fine tune it a bit. I like the "old school" Beaver bigdewy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soft-hackle 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Old Hat, Never make excuses for being a "flymph" fisherman. IMO, it makes you a very knowledgeable fisherman. This fly is simply gorgeous, and I can see it catching all sorts of fish. Thumbs-up from me! Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 Hey Mark, I ran into your website last night. Sorry never noticed it in your signature. But I had a feeling it was yours as I recognized the avatar. Very nicely done I must say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soft-hackle 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 Old Hat, If you are speaking of the Wingless Wet Fly Forum, it has been up for about a month. It has been quiet there, lately. People are busy doing other things like worrying about their money. We all have. At any rate, feel free to join in. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeky 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2008 Old Hat, What's the tail material? Almost looks like barred woodduck, but not quite. Don't remember seeing it anywhere else. Deeky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2008 Chukar. One of my favorite birds for soft hackle flies. I think very under utilized. Hard to find in the shops. I have seen them on Ebay every once and a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
