  5. me i do not like the spider because of the jaw it not cam lock but can be modified i think. if tying midges primary try the dyna king king fisher like so i think it's a better vice or some thing similar http://www.griffinenterprisesinc.com/accessories.html 108 dollars for the dyna king king fisher this is the vise I should own the price was at hook hack not sure what it is a jsflffishing.com should be close to the same price http://www.dyna-king.com/flyvise_dtl.asp?i...v=0&pid=082 http://www.hookhack.com/
  6. learn how to tie the thread on and you will never stop :yahoo:
  7. what i use for the tarpon whistler or the seaducer type patterns is strung neck hackle in white, yellow ,black, chartreuse, barred tan, barred chartreuse, red, purple , etc... but i use white yellow and chartreuse the most use it for the body and the tails any ways good luck and tight lines rhino... i am sure jsflyfishing carries it to
  8. 1) have enough space for storage of stuff like a couple of 30 dollar dressers that you will find if they run on sale some were 2) you need a tv dinner tray and a good chair that is comfy. dinner tray looks like what at link below i got mine for $7.99 for one not a set http://www.target.com/TV-Tray-Set-Natural/...rays&page=1 3) must have a tv with dvd player 4) i don't like having the computer in the tying area but it can double as a tying computer room. the reason is i can not do two at once when i take a break i get on the computer. 5) keep it clean the reason i use a tv dinner tray is to keep the room clean if i got clutter on the desk it going to lose stuff and wreck stuff most of all if some thing spills on a good cape your s.o.l. this and keep a vacuum in the room 6) a cord less phone will help so you do not have to get up wile tying when no one is home any ways good luck and tight lines rhino................
  9. like others said go whiting. and as for size between half and 1/4 saddles here is some thing to think about are you a pro tier if not do not get any thing bigger then a half. 1/4 should do you just fine and yes they will tie down to mostly 16 on and 14 on certain capes. best way to judge is bring a hackle gage to your local shop and do not take out the staple but measure most of the hackles with the gage and find the saddles you like best. i got a saddle in silver that all it ties is 16's perfect for me but you maybe not. any ways you can get 5-6 flies per hackle strand. so if there is 100 on a 1/4 saddle then are you going to tie 600 flies with that color maybe in your life time but not in a week. unless your a pro tier filling orders. any ways good luck and tight lines rhino...............btw i like one size smaller for my dries because of build on the tie in spot were you wrap the hackle just a tip
  10. also try here http://www.kaufmannsstreamborn.com/Catalog.../Necks/UMPNECK/
  11. they sell a metz grade 3 but to tell you the truth i would rather a grade 2 or 1 any ways it blue dun are you looking for light blue dun or med blue dun or dark blue dun i think i have half of a med blue dun from cabelas i can get a pic up if you need it that bad any ways good luck and tight lines rhino............. http://www.murraysflyshop.com/flytying_hacklecapes.html also try anglersworkshop.com
  12. i hate to suggest this but have you ever heard of chuck and duck fishing you could set up a rod for c"n"d on a 6 weight. if all there is is trout in them holes if there is steel head or Atlantic's you may want a bigger rod if not a 6 should be fine. the reason i hate to suggest c"n"d is some claim it not fly fishing. but fishing is fishing with a lot so granted some one may want to try some thing different. you can fish streamers and nymphs but no dries on a c"n"d set up and it is real easy to cast. any ways good luck and tight lines rhino.... the heaver head will not make it sink faster they do the same thing. http://www.trailstotrout.com/tips.html ....
  13. this one is for your friend i would suggest him this tool set a a good vise link for tool set below. before i suggest materials you have to plan on what kind of fish your chasing and ware your going to be chasing it. weather it's salt or fresh bass/ trout/ salmon/ steel/ pike/ carp / the materials differ from trout to bass and to salt. if your planing every thing i can suggest patterns and hooks/ materials for all. but it does you no good if you buy it if you do not want it. tool set at link below. if you can say a vacation spot because you got family there some time make it easier to select stuff if you been there multiple times already. http://www.jsflyfishing.com/cgi-bin/item/O...l-Gift-Set.html
  14. if your only going to be there for a week or two may i suggest reading leftys 101 fly fishing tips this and or pocket guide fly fishing for trout so some thing similar there small books but pack a lot of neat tips fly tying what do you use most are you going to be headed to the salmon camp in baldwin michigan this year? mite want to think of a few patterns to use there. or do some other tying etc to catch up on what you need for the next season you will encounter.as for vises use a c clamp it lighter then a pedestal's base base the bobbin on what you plan on tying if your tying no midges don't bring a midge bobbin if not tying deer hair why dring stuff for it etc... base what you bring on what you want to tie like streamers . or nymphs or even dries. any ways hope this helped good luck and tight lines rhino...................
  15. no showers and sleeping on the ground is fun till you do it a lot. try any kind of streamer works great really those fish eat any thing look for wild rice in the water and follow the weed line casting close to it sure to get a pike sooner or later the wild rice grows buy shore up to about 10 foot of water some time more so weed less is best used for piking since it not spring thaw and the pike are not in the shallows right now trying to spawn. i would hit the rice they will be there all winter until spawning time any ways i got bigger rod but a 7 wt should work don't forget bite guards like masons 30 pound test or even tyger wire bite guards attached to the class tippet of like 10-20 pounds if you have to try stone covered points coming off from shore a deep running line is need and a good count be fore you start to strip also. bass bugs pike flies and leaches type patterns and frogs work wonders. any ways good luck and tight lines rhino...................do not forget the chain saw just encase a beaver downs a tree on that 235 mile dirt road
