it will definately catch fish,as has been said,just practice practice and then practice some more my 2 cents shane

wings just need to be a little shorter. Other wise,flie looks good. Adams recipe Tail-brown and grizzly hackle tips body-gray dubbing,or substitute to local hatches hackle-brown and grizzly wings-grizzly hackle tips You casn substitute different things for the tail and you can also tie it parachue style. shane

this will be my first year fishing soft hackles.I tied a dozen and swapped some dog fur to a member on this ite for a dozen more.I'm gonna give them a go this year.I usually high stick nymphs,when trout arent actively feeding.When they r,i usually use emergers and dries.With the ocassional bugger swing,when all else fails. Let you know in about sept,how my thoughts toward soft hackles may have changed. shane

I'm gettin confused.There r like 3 or 4 people with that Buck deer pic as there profile pic.Don't know who is who,when i look up. But yeah i'm thrifty a little 2 i guess. shane

shoot,my son,a beginning tyer hisself,and I r heading 2 the river today.It will be our maiden voyage of the year. Tight lines Shane

you r a wonderful writer and your outlook is great.Good luck shane

just got through voting!WOW,allot of beautiful flies.Good luck to all and thanks will 4 ure hard work. shane

all i know is a woman i work with couldn't see you ...excuse me...if you gave her the bird 5 feet in front of her face.She wore glasses.Then got the eye surgery and didn't where glasses for a few months said she could c perfectly,i see her every now and then with glasses...but there not near the coke bpttles she used tpo wear. shane ps i.ve worn glasses since the 2nd grade,but the thought of getting a lazor shown iinto my eye kinda makes me have tiny littlr heart attacks.

i put 15 min.,being that that would probably be the average of the different flies i tie.Wooly bugger,2min max..Traditional dry about 8 or 9 minutes,emergers anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes,foam ants,beeteles..3 minutes...A full tricked out dave's hopper about 45 minutes....I guess that would comeout to about a 15 munute average dony u think shane

i voted peace and quiet.But its the little things i like most.The distant ripple below my favorite hole,the birds singing there favorite song and most of all,the moment i hear the first splash, announcing that bugs r starting to hatch. shane

FISHABILITY.....with FTOTY being the only excpetion. shane

whenever i feel like it,its all i do besides hunt,fish and work. shane

The only blades u can get around here are the double flexible style,there great! shane

i love foam,just got through tying a few foam and fur stones.From the hatches tutorial.......Is the wing tips supposed to represent a spent stone fly or an adult spreading its wings,,just seems they r a little far aprt from the body 2 me?has anyone fished this fly with success? shane

his family will be in my prayers and hopefully heaven is allot fuller now. shane :down:

Its personal preference really.But carpet blades have no use in tying. Me ,on deer hair flies i use the disposable razors you get at rite aid,u know the one you put in razors to shave with.They r very sharp and flexible.They r all i use on deer hair flies,except for some tweeking with scissors.Scissors,again they both have advantages and disadvantages,personal preference really.hope that helps. shane

"speckled killa crawl" shane

'trout nymph 'should be photographed like my great lakes salmon steelhead,at a slight angle...showing more of top of the fly shane p.s. i will understand if u cant get to this will

yall got way to much time on ure hands! :j_k: oh,now that i think bout it,,i do too.This thread was a very interesting and hillarious endeavor. :hyst: :hyst: shane

Just kidding. Now that someone like Will with photo skills took a pic of them they all need to be redone. Can I call Mulligan and resubmit? :crying: all mine r there and now that i've seen my flies on camers,i see 2 ,atleast,that i could have improved on. thanx will for ure hardwork............its nice to see my flies come 2 life on the webpage shane

It doesn't matter what kind of fishing you do just as long as you're having fun and it is within the bounds of the law. true. here,here! shane :headbang:
