  1. thats probably the single coolest fly I've ever seen.
  2. This is the one I own and it is very informative but at the same time, very basic, at least my copy of the book is. I say that b/c i am not sure if the book has a larger extension, it is doubtful, but the book is highly regarded none-the-less.
  3. Thank you very much. I glad you like!!!! A hug!!!! This fly is awesome!
  4. That plastic multi-drawer is exactly what I'm looking for and the spool rack is pretty nice. Def going to look into picking one up, thanks. and thank you all for the help as well.
  5. I have my bench cleared and my vise attached and now I am trying to find a storage system to store feathers and what-not. I want a multi-drawer system and this is one of them that I found: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2793690 Basically just let me know if I need to go bigger of smaller to accommodate feathers like turkey feathers. My workbench is an old kitchen table so space is not a big deal as I have a lot of it. Thank you.
  6. I agree. You apparently have a computer and can post extensive lists of patterns you want...tons of sites available. YOU need to compile your own list and figure out what YOU need. EACH fly recipe lists exactly the materials needed for said fly. Get busy and then get tying OBVIOUSLY. I have already begun that. Thank you for being of no help at all. If you read carefully it said HELP, not completely do it for me. Well then not a great way to start your time on FTF. There is a database here on this site with some great patterns put together by some of the best tyers anywhere and they/I all started out the same way researching, testing and failing till u get a pattern just perfect and catch a fish what a feeling. What I would suggest is u do your research ask a question if u need something but don't just group 3 boxes of flies together and say help. u need to be creative and see what u come up with. Several materials can be substituted for others. Craft stores have an amazing selection of stuff, wander the aisles after u have made a list of patterns and let the imagination work. Thank you chris, but yes ik, what a start -__- regardless, thank you
  7. This is way off topic and I hope you don't mind me asking, but what state do you live in that there isn't a single one for that distance? But with what you said above, I plan on doing the exact same thing

  9. Hey everyone, I am eagles, I have minor experience with fly tying and I am looking to break out into the fly tying scene. I still have some patterns memorized (although I never really tied them). Here is a list of the flies I am looking to tie: Nymphs -Brassie -Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear -Copper John -Pheasant Tail -Black Stonefly -Yellow Stonefly -Peeking Caddis -Emergent Sparkle Pupa -Killer Green Caddis Wet Flies -Griffith's Gnat -Fergusun -Last Chance -Leadwing Coachman -Royal Coachman Streamers -Bead Head Wooly Bugger -Muddler Minnow -Clouser Minnow -Matuka -Grey Ghost -Mickey Finn -Black Ghost Dry Flies -Adams -White Wulff -Light Cahill -Royal Wulff -Green Royal Wulff -Yellow Humpy -Mosquito -Green Drake Wulff -Black Gnat -Blue Dunn -Light Hendrickson -Dark Hendrickson -Stimulator Terrestrials -Beetles -Ants -Dave's Hopper -Crickets I know the list is extensive and vast for a beginner and doesn't include midges (except for the Griffiths Gnat), but I want to be able to tie these patterns and fill my box with these. Please help me compile a "shopping list" of recommended materials and supplies. Thank you much in advance. P.S. I know what I am talking about as i have been fly fishing for years, just not tying my flies and would like to start so please don't go jumping ahead saying that's too big of a list and so on.
