-
I like it!

Ouch, sorry about that but it happens. I have heard that phrase before and married a girl who understands and actually orders me to go fishing.

Instant Virus Alert when checking out the website :bugeyes: Howdy Matt, what's the father-in-laws tarpon fly supply consist of other than the foam toads with zonker tails ? Been tying EP's & ran out of 7.5 & 9mm eyes to put on the flies until a shop gets some in:crying: Hey Dave hope all is well! I tied him a few cockroaches, foam toads, a few -Capt. Matt white seaducer looking things -that work well for me in the keys, and I threw in a dozen Matt's Magic's =my go to everything fly named by my buddy in Jackson Hole named a few years ago- Tarpon, Snook, Reds etc... all eat it. I think the toad easily passes for a pass crab around the passes. Longears, again, go to fishbuzztv.com and check out the location x floaty fly otherwise known as the Tarpon foam toad. I think it will work but havent had a chance to fish it yet. Sorry I dont have a pic handy. Its tied the same as the regular toad but with foam for the body. You can vary the color combonations as well. Its a fun fly to tie.

Did you ask the guides what specific patterns they recomend? Check out fishbuzztv.com for some videos. Any fly with a zonker strip should do well, cockroaches are great flies, and I am exicted to try the foam tarpon toad fly. I just sent a bunch down to my father in law to try out. hope this gets you started. i havent had any coffee yet so forgive to choppy post.

Hey Jeff, Long time no talk. Im still sorry for the mix up in Utah, I thought you had said you had to be gone that weekend! My bad!
-
Nice Carl, Im fixin to sit down at the vice and tie a few pupae myself.
-
Not in this one but the place we are moving into this June will. I worry though because its outside and even though it locks, the humidity and possibility of bugs worries me a little. Nothing a dehumidifier couldnt fix but the bugs....

thats a mess, i generally cannot function in a area where i cant find anything , and if i am losing tools i stop , re-group vaccum if i need to and get back to it, some times i am tyin a dozen flies or a couple hundred so i gotta stay organized or its meltdown time. I know exactly where everything is in there!

I also love a neat and organized space. However, I have to keep all my stuff in rubber maid tubs and unpack it evrytime I want to tie. Kinda hard to avoid mess. When Im at it for several nights in a row, the outcome is what you see in the pics.

Moving from a house to an apartment is tough. I used to have a man room, now the only space to tie is on our little kitchen table within our 2 bedroom apartment. How many of you would be in the dog house for this mess on the kitchen table? Lets see some more pics so we all have a little ammo against those who would dare make us clean our tying space (Tying Space=politically correct fly fishing term for mess)

Yep that will do it... All materials tied in behind the hook eye. P.S Not all trout are Palm sized ha ha
-
Lets see some of those ties Dave! :yahoo: Just kidding around, hope all is well with you and I hope to get down there soon. Hey nu2trout, I suggest a simple fly for starters: hook: mustad 34007 #2 or whatever hook but I like size 2 thread: White 6/0 Body: Buck Tail -tied behind the eye Accent Material: Sparse Rainbow krystal flash Over Wing: Peacock Herl Throat: Red Krystal Flash This is a good start, get creative and take it from there but that simple fly catches fish ie. snook. Just my 2 cents. Cheers
