  1. Thanks for the welcome. I have been reading the site and love the postings of the flies people are tying. Some amazing tiers. I have watched the videos from several people here as well and sites such as BobCat hollow and tied some of them. Great stuff. Completely agree that the flies don't care if they are tied for fresh or salt water and quite often the fish don't either! I have no issue with grabbing a fly on a saltwater hook and tossing it into freshwater. Being in PA I get to fish more freshwater than salt. Love to chase largemouth and smallmouth bass, panfish and whatever else will bite. I get to the Jersey shore a couple of times a year. This year I was working to catch some flounder on the fly - and caught a cow nose ray! They are known for stealing fly lines but I managed to land it. Lots of rain in PA this year has blown out lots of creeks and rivers on the weekends. Too bad.
  2. My first "Flies from the Vise" post. I have been getting ready for a November trip to the warm waters to chase Bonefish, tarpon and permit. Working on tying flies from Drew Chicone's books. These are the Tranqu-Hill-Izer Shrimp as an attractor shrimp. Then the others are some simple Cocaine Crustaceans for quieter entry into the water. Let's see how these post.
  3. My teen-age son and I have taken some fly tying classes at a local fly shop the last few years in the winter. I don't recall if he used the term Aztecs but we did tie some in this format. I think it was in the beginner class. I believe we tied them in bluegill colors and a bit sparse to keep them lighter. Will have to pull them out and try them this spring. First post on this forum - love reading and learning from all the expertise here.
