  1. TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY AWESOME!!! I am so blown away My congratulations to all, these are magnificent flies! And a few that I would love to fish!!!!!!! erm - patterns?
  2. I used a 2" deep by 8" long by six " wide firm, thick cardboard box, from a computer hard drive, as a tool caddy. I used an exacto knife where needed to cut shaped holes for specific items - flexament holder, cement and thinner holder, stacker, etc. the rest I just pushed or punched a hole with the implement (carefully) to get the right size. (I also use the knife, crafts not carpet cutting, for cutting threads) I hang a small plastic bag by the handle off the adjuster knob of my vice - the handle part is long enough, and the bag small and light enough it doesn't get in my way. I use a loop of EXTREMELY fine copper wire as a bobbin threader - is stiff enough to be inserted without encouragement I use plastic jar lids to hold beads or water for soaking biots and quills I have used plastic twist ties to hold materials out of the way on a fly during tying I have three or four different thickness needles stuck in a piece of foam. Each one as a different colored ball of head cement/nail polish on it to designate usage - head of cement, head of flexament or spreader, pick. Also makes them easier to hold. I also stick the flies around the edges to dry - ones that are small enough. I have two bodkins, but I find the tips too thick for smaller flies
  3. I have been fly-fishing for four years, tying for three, and I love it all, and wish I could fish instead of work....just like most of us I am lucky enough to live within reach of so many fish species and so many diverse water types , except for saltwater.....so one day I will have to go to New Zealand to experience it - dream of mine. I mainly catch trout, but I attempt bass and carp, dream of pike - and I am the chub queen of my neighborhood, and, SUCKERS ARE A GAS ON A FLYROD!!!!!
