  1. Nice to meet you too. ^^ HAHAHA well they won't be baitfishermen for long.
  2. HAHAHA thank's the pic below it I got from Redleg. I like the caption I gave it. :hyst: Ok thanks for clearing up the size thing on tube flies for me.
  3. How exactly do you tie these? Won't the thick round tube make the body of afly appear rounder and thicker? Or are these mostly used for streamer, spey, salmon and other big patterns?
  4. O.o HAHAHA I think you got the wrong "kid". :hyst: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :hyst: :headbang: That's awesome! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Can I put that in my sig? Erm, I kinda did already, couldn't resist.
  5. Well of course ^^ HAHAHA oooohh I'm not from Oregon, just around......*sorry can't give away any personal info, no offense* I have family in Portland too! Smith Rock!!!!!! AAAHHH MONKEY FACE! Have you seen it? We hiked around the whole place. My little sister cried almost the whole way around. *she was scared* Shweet! Now I know Im not a loner.......
  6. Thanks SmallieHunter. I understand now. WELL, better get working.
  7. You could also try flaring the hairwing with your fingers before casting. Flair it up and to the sides a bit. That should balance it out. And look a bit more like fluttering wings ; ) Adding rubber legs to your next batch really helps balancing the fly out. Do you have any pictures of your Stimulators? ~StoneflyKid
  8. O.o Where did you find that pattern!? I found a LONG time ago but have never been able to come across it before. I tied one, but it was tooo skinny. Yours look great!
  9. HAHAHAHA :hyst: well everyone I'm sure I'll learn ALOT of stuff around here. This is the first flytying forum I've come across *my dreams came true* I was looking for realistic stonefly imitations and came across a topic on thid forum about a HUGE salmon fly nymph someone had found. So that's how I found it.
  10. Ok, sorry, just thought I should explain how I got started. HAHAHAHAHA of course
  11. o.O *drools* I LIKE THAT ROD. I'm up! What is postmarked? And if I entered a fly for Dry, one for Subsurface, and one for Streamer, a total of 3 flies in the Trout section, is that ok? Those 3 styles are the catagories correct? Just wondering. Thanks, *goes off to tying bench* ~StoneflyKid
  12. Hello everyone, Yup my names StoneflyKid and I'll letcha guess why. I've been into flyfishing since I was about 11 years old. The priest of our church at the time was a fisher himself. He was mainly into flysifhing more that spin cast fising. He helped me learn how to cast, tie the knots and basics of flyfishing. I started tying when I received a tying kit for Christmas from my uncle, when I was 12. And since then, I've been hooked on the hobby and art. Early summer of that same year was when I took my first trip to the Deschutes River in Oregon to take a whack at the Giant Stonefly hatch that the river is famous for. My dad and I met Fr. John, the priest mentioned earlier, at the BLM Trout Creek camping site. I took my tying kit along with me. A few of Fr. John's friends were there also and they admired my skill in tying. Since I was still new to the sport of flyfishing, I didn't catch anything. Got a few jumps at my flies, but they were little fishies. My dad, completely new to it, barely having ANY casting skills whatsoever, managed to caste out under a tree, hook a 13 inch Deschutes redside trout in spawning colors, and land it. Of course he stood back while I took the fly out of the fish's mouth. And the best of it yet was......he caught it on a spinoff pattern of a Clark's stone I TIED AND INVENTED! :yahoo: :headbang: Oooohhh yahhh. But, sadly, we lost the fly. It pretty much consisted of a Clark's Stone Wing, and Hackle style. And in place of the skinny mylar tinsel, I made an abdomen body of orange antron yarn, ribbed with gold oval tinsel. Simple, yet it worked. Since then, I've begun experimenting with foams, weaving styles, inner tube rubber.....yup inner tubing, and lotsa more materials and tying techniques. So there's a little info about me. I hope to have a fun time here, and meet some fellow flyfishermen and tyers. And of course, show of meh mad skillzzzzz ~StoneflyKid Edit: Oh, um can someone please direct me to the rools please? Thankx a bunch. Edit2: Oh and I can't figure out how to edit the sub title for this topic. I meant to say I'm a 15 year old, not a 165 year old.......
