http://vimeo.com/7973361 just something I like to listen to as I tie

thats ok the best spinning hair comes from the belly and the back

looks a bit over done or as my dad would say burnt offering great fly

I say wait

beautiful ties my friend

I am tying a streamer that I use on brook trout but I also use it on gills when they are pushing the shoreline for minnows if you have never seen a shore line push it really is cool to watch a group of big gills push a bunch of minnows right up on the shore just swallowing as many as they can the first time I ever seen it was on my buddy's pond and it looked like the shoreline was boiling from the minnows jumping around

on Christmas day my wife and I always work its amazing how many skips go to Mom's house for Christmas usually means a good payday on Boxing day

here is a grub that uses mono as thread and mono to build it up

it works great and its basically free plus once you do it let it dry it can be used as a diving lip on a minnow fly

I love fishing through a hole I have all the gadgets to fish camera,and sonar but no sat tv guess I know what I am going to ask for next year Birthday

I usually take a piece of mono double it over making a loop about an 1/8th inch across then dip it in if it comes out with a nice thin film across it then it is thin enough if it doesn't fill the gap its to thin and if it is thick globby then its to thick
