  1. A new addition to the fly pattern database has been submitted by Chrismac: Flash Dancer Variations
  2. I'm lucky enough to live near Cape Cod, MA and it's covered with small, crystal clear kettle ponds around 100 acres or less with HP restrictions, this is ideal for belly boating. I spend most of my time in the belly boat instead of my 16 footer....a few things to consider though: -I wear waders all year to deal with water temp as well as the occasional leach (hate them) -try to avoid the bigger water, wind is tough to deal with as well as the bigger boats ( had an issue with some punk teenagers that thought it would be a great idea to try to swamp me on a 300 acre lake) -if you want to take pictures, bring a crap camera
  3. Lexan...it's a plastic most frequently used on paintball goggles....easy to cut and shape but highly impact resistant
  4. you tie a great fly...been very impressed with your selection so far....
  5. gotta love the "guy" that shows up with the walmart special Shakespear White Rino with the plastic, upside down spinning reel that thinks it's nessacery to throw 4 ounce pyramid weights and a 7/0 hook to cast his shiner three feet to your left, over your line and leave it there. The best part is when you try to politly ask him to move he doesn't speak english! Love fishing in RI...The smallest state with the most availabel coastline and the biggest concentration of a-holes.
  6. Before my original laptop decided to never turn on again, I had a link saved to my favs for a online fly tying supply store that had the only known (to me) supply of foam wiggle sticks in a crawdad pattern to tie the wiggle craws. Anybody know what the name of that company was. It has slipped my mind and i'm down to my last wiggle craw. Any help would be great.
  7. On occasion, up here in New England, I do use nymphs for smallies. I do tie them on the bigger side. Woolhead and Deer hair dragonfly muddlers in size 6, and 4, Damsel Fly nymph imataions in size 6 hooks and Whitlock Red squirrel nymphs up to size 2 and the clouser swimming nymph.
  8. Dahlberg Flashdancers in differant color combinations size 1 3366 hooks, decievers size 1, bunny flies up to size 1/0 Empie Goldies, wool head rattlin' streamers in size 1 and 1/0.
  9. go to www.warmwaterflytyer.com the site has instructions on how to do it with great pics and even better flies
  10. Catch more perch here in New England on Goldies than anyother fly.
  11. The only flies that i have had any issues with the weedguards and the slit foam were the commercial ones that I purchased...the companies must use a slighly lighter mono than i use on my own.
  12. look at www.bearsden.com they have slit foam boxes in all sizes. I personally have 4 of them and love them.
  13. Easy and suggestive, I like the Barr Meatwhistle. The only thing i do diferantly is to replace the marabou collar with a crosscut rabbit strip. I like the way it opens up underwater. It looks like a pissed off crawfish. I tie them in olive, brown and tan.
  14. One of my favorites is the Dahlberg Flashdancer in the original color and I do a bluegill coloration. Once the deerhair gets wet it sinks just below the surface and i strip it like i would a slug go. Great for over submerged weed beds. I also add a mono weedguard. Watch out though, the pickeral's love it too...so expect to lose a few.
  15. oh yeah...what kind of "special" scissors Ridderbro3?
