Flyguymike 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2009 I just found the forum today. Looks like a lot of good info. here. I tie mostly saltwater patterns. I have been tying long enough to fill a second bedroom with my passion. I have been lucky enough to tie for a few pro guides here. I get feed back from them on new patterns and am able to tweak them over the years into some useful flies. They appreciate some go-to flyes for their clients and I get a bonus of phone calls to go fishing and weekly fishing reports. We are continuing the quest for that key that will unlock tarpon lock-jaw that happens occasionally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look in the realistics for a juvenile blue crab.You may be able to adapt that pattern to pass for... well; a pass crab. Anyway, glad you found the site , I look forward to seeing some of your go to flies. Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
