Welcome to FTF, you'll find the people who frequent this forum are some of the most helpful and most knowledgeable in the world.

which would be a variation of the original

A new addition to the fly pattern database has been submitted by AlexC: Copper John (variant)

Fred Hannie (FredH) just wrote an article for Hatches Magazine on a fishable grub pattern he ties. Check it out at the link below. http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...by-fred-hannie/ If you have an article you'd like to write, or an idea for an article, send inquiries via email to [email protected].

Smalliehunter has been doing battle with the flu the past couple of days. I'm sure that he'll get round 2 ready to go as soon as he has time once he is feeling better.

I couldn't be happier for you, Mike. That stuff couldn't have gone to a better family.

There is no set length. we've got articles that are a couple hundred words, and some that are over 1000. Thanks, Alex

Thanks for all the time and effort you put into FTF and especially the contest, Will. :headbang:

I work about 3 minutes from Guilderland, live about 20 minutes north. The fishing here is awesome. It's all warmwater(second to none) other than stockers within the hour mark. From 1-3 hours out, the trout fishing is excellent; or if you get bored with trout you can be standing in the ocean; or in a Lake Ontario trib. Shoot me a PM when you're settled in.

I heard a Nirvana song played on a classic rock radio station not too long ago.

There are few tyers who can make complexity look so simple. Well done, Hans.

I'll be tying at the same show, and have in the past. If you've been to their little expo in the past, you know that there isn't a lot of extra room for materials, etc. So I'd recommend knowing what you're going to tie ahead of time, and then have the materials for each fly ready to go in small zip-lock baggies. That will help you have a clean work space, and a little leg room at the table. You'll have space to display some flies you've tied, and the people who walk around to watch usually spend more time looking at the flies you've already tied than what you're tying. All in all, it's an excellent weekend considering the number of 'big names' we have in our area who will all be sitting around the same table. Must be something in the water.

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate the advice :headbang:

Nice shots, Steve. All those years living in MI and I never made the stop in Frankenmuth.

I'm looking at 3 different camcorders, and need help making a decision. The Canon FS200 at $270 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/5974..._Camcorder.html Sony DCR-SX40 at $250 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/5973..._Camcorder.html JVC Everio S GZ-MS120 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller...si=rev#features anyone out there see anything that makes one of these stand out from the others? Thanks

To add to what I said before, he usually does the best in the early summer by sight fishing for them. He'll slowly walk around the edge of the pond until he sees one swimming. Then he'll dap the fly in and sort of jig it around. Usually he'll get an eat w/in the first couple jigs, then just lift the fish out of the water.

We have a small pond in our neighborhood that is loaded with them. My son does pretty well getting them with brown woolly buggers.

Welcome to FTF! What do you like to fish for?

I got two of them :headbang:

I thought it meant that the tyer wanted to go out with you, Will.

You could probably dye it yourself if the color you're looking for doesn't turn up.

Well done :headbang:

I love the wing on this one, Hub. :headbang:

utyer- I'll be tying examples of each style of fly, for each species of mayfly- hopefully, with a little help from my friends- and posting them alongside pictures of the natural and relevant info. I've been working on this project for about 3 years now, collecting insects and photographing them, and now it's time for phase 2. Big project, I know. Thanks, flytire. JSzymczyk- I understand where you're coming from, but yes, I am just looking to inventory generally accepted styles.
