Love the color on that streamer, looks great

great looking set of flies

i had the same problem before, i switched to using my wife's clear nail polish for head cement it actually works great, don't ever have the heads fall apart and it looks great.

those are two great flies, i also like a hare's ear nymph, cought alot of trout on them.

nice looking jigs

nice fly, think it would be a brown killer

well you could possibly tie a number of different flies depending on the color of the yarn you have, and if you have other materials with it. i have seen brown trout cought on a piece of red thread on a hook. chris

i have a fly shop about 5 miles from my house, only problem is she does not carry a very wide selection of tying materials, fly tying in my area has seem to become sort of a lost art. then The famous Fran Betters owns a fly shop about 25 minutes from my house, on the west branch of the ausable. there is a few other fly shops around too, but i have never ventured into them. chris

your fine to use it, you can actually still go hunt polar bear in quite a few places. chris

Welcome, sounds like you will fit in fine. chris

nice looking nymph, where did u get the barbs for the tail

Great looking fly, love the ribs.

Grumbacher Tuffilm may cure your problem, i have never used it on marabou but have used it on hackle fibers. It is a really fine film spray they use to cover oil canvas paintings, works well for strengthening the hackle fibers on fly's i tie for bass. Just a suggestion, if you decide to try it you can get it at almost any craft store. chris

I have cought alot of bass on a olive wooly bugger, i use crystal flash on the body it seems to work alot better.

try putting head cement or clear nail polish over the thread before u put the turbo disk on
