  1. Great looking fly, will catch ya alot of fish...Holy Crap Mark you are alive. I thought you would be in Florida!
  2. I totaly disagree! True rotary offers no room for tying longer flies. Heck for that matter on nymphs and smaller flies life gets awful cramped. Unless you get a High priced vise like a dyna or a law. Horizontal rotary vises like the HMH For example offer the most room for tying. I know more people who have tied on true rotarys who when given the chance end up preferring the non "true rotary". Go tie a dozen flies of different sizes on a renzetti and then tie a dozen on a spartan. I tie production and i use my rotary function alot. it works very well!!! Very well said Day5. That is why I have a renzetti and an HMH.
  3. OK, I'm curious...what makes you think the Mustad #32 is "truer" than a #32 in any other brand? If by "truer" you mean "smaller," that might make sense but considering how hooks are sized by manufacturers, there is no "true" #32 any more than there is a "true" standard hook...it is always going to be relative for each hook manufacturer. Those are hard to find, I had a few but never fished with them because the hook gap made it really hard to hook up on a fish.
  4. Mark, just to let you know i am going to borrow that pattern and may add a few twists to it. You know how I roll.lol
  5. I have only seen 2 other deer like that. A friend of mine that is a wildlife bioligist said that he was about 95% sure that it was caused from a recessive gene that could be from in breeding. Seen some weird deer lately. A guy shot a 19 pt doe last week, and she was still in velvet. If I can find the pic I will post it on here. here is the pic. http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs008.snc3/1...8_6581861_n.jpg
  6. Very cool fly, and the picture of grayling is outstanding. I hope to get to fish for grayling out west someday. Several friends have fished for them and they say when it's nice out that they will hit a dry fly with pure abandonment..
  7. If I only knew someone in the medical field. To bad you can't just buy those off the shelf.
  8. I am pretty much in the same boat, I need to get another box though. No matter how much space you have you always need more.
  9. I have a griffin odysey with the cam jaws and have tied on the mongoose...great vice but to bulky for me. I also have the hmh spartan and a renzetti presentation 2000. I love both of them equally well. I don't have any cons about them except that you have to change the jaws on the hmh to tie smaller flies, but the jaws are very easy to change. If you decide to get the hmh get with day5 he is the man when it comes to hmh's . Good luck on whatever you get.

  11. hope you have a good thanksgiving and for a speedy recovery!
  12. As always Frank great job! You need to post that one on our home message board. The boys will love it. I started fishing the wets last year and it has greatly improved my catch rate.....Down and across.. BTW Frank if you want, either here or on the other site send me a pm with your address. I have a full hungarian partridge skin and will send you part of it, if you want.
  13. Is the trailing hook kind of kicking sideways on you?
  14. Dubb, I wouldn't use acetone since it is caustic. The best way that I have found to get glue off of my vise jaws(presentation 2000) is to go to your local h-ware store and get the smallest plastic spackel blade and use that to scrape the glue off. If you apply just the right pressure it should pop right off. Another thing you can do, but you have to be very careful, is to take a razor blade..the ones that you can get a drugstore for shaving...and use your fingers to put an arch in it than run the blade along the outline of your jaws. As long as you can get under the glue with the blade it should pop right off. Sorry for the long explaination, I tend to over explain..That's the engineer in me coming out.lol
