Just gave it a little bump 'cause i kinda misplaced it. I don't believe that I'm with the only club in Canada. C'mon guys and girls. Jon

beautiful claudia. great tie. Jon

Perhaps it's no big problem for you but I don't think my mechanics hands are ready for that yet. i will begin my stretching excercises and nthen practice practice practice. by the way is there an easy way to taper the weave I notice that it starts and stops rather abruptly, any ideas?? I think i should drop by my moms' house and scoop her hooks :devil: Cheers Jon P.s. I'm Jon G too.

that is a great fly, I love it Jon

I like it alot. Holy crap it looks as long as a hockey stick. On you pattern is there not a second herl ball closer to the eye? or was this dropped as the fly evolved? I dont have a copy of hatches yet so this isn't a critique just a question. Jon

Fantastic pictures. It looked like a beautiful day..... wish i didn't have to work Jon

Hey guys; I like the examples shown so far mine are stuck on the body stage , I'm hoping that my wing feathers show up soon. Jon

VERY NICE KEVIN, I Love the colours. JON

Ooops sorry. I meant hamilton , ontario Canada Eh!. Just around the grand river. I guess when you live here there is only one. Jon

I am all for the Idea as well. Great thinking by the way the Hamilton area fly fishers and tiers meet the first and fouth mondays of the month check out the info at www.HAFFT.ca. For some reason this hasn't been updated this season yet. Happy fall fishing Jon ps. I don't think that smalliehunter is gonna add anything new until he gets the old working correctly..

Very true, The benefits of joining a fly tying club is that on tying nights you can bug your friend and try their's out. Jon

Hey oatka Sorry that I can't make it, I had the pen out to mark it on the calendar thinking to myself.... self..... that date seems familiar. I fliupped to the november page and said oh crap. My son Liam turns 3 on the 15th so thankyou for the reminder, i'm sure that i would have remembered but you know how it is. once again thanks for the invite but I won't be able to make it but I will pass the date onto our fly tying club here in hamilton, On., (www.HAFFT.ca) Perhaps we could do a swap or a combined club meet and greet further though the season. PM me if you are interested Jon

I'm from Hamilton. The guys at Grindstone Angling (waterdown) are really good, however their website is really old. give them a call there is also wilson's in toronto that has a good reputation or at least it did. I think it may have changed hands last year or so..(just what i remember i may be wrong .... no body get upset please.) check out the fly tying clubs around the credit river area or come to the hamilton area club. www.HAFFT.ca we meet every month second and fourth mondays. PM me for more details or if you want to borrow some of my old stuff. Jon

Yea I am not a Bait fisherman anymore.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: Jon

Thanks DART pm recieved Jon

welcome jim i'm from hamilton , ontario canada, my wife attended teachers college at the jordan hill campus of strathclyde university in glasgow. hoping to get over to your neck of the woods in the next yearor two. By the way they don't really eat deep fried MARS bars there..?.. do they????. Crazy university students! Jon

I use the renzetti traveller and just purchased the clouser head for the renzetti.., I really enjoy my renzetti but found that the angle got in the way of the bucktail streamers hope that this new attachment which retains the rotary end and keeps the shaft straight makes adifference. Jon

good thinking. jon

I managed to get the system to work and then promptly forgot my new password. Stupid thing to do by the way. I recommend that if you do get it to work thatr you write your new password on your monitor so that you dont forget it the next day. you can always put the white out over it once you get it memorized. :wallbash: It is very frustrating starting a new user account so that you can pm the site administrator about your old account. Pm sent will. good luck Jon

My fly tying carreer/ addiction was started when a family member gave me a kit for christmas and a book of initial patterns. I tied a couple of flies but got very frustrated when my hook slipped just as i finished palmering my first wooly bugger using all 10 thumbs.... aaAAHHH. i did enjoy it overall but ended up buying a renzetti traveller and a whole lot of other materials within a couple of months. i concur that its best to get professionnal advice when buying a big ticket item but don't we all have toys that we don't use anymore. what area are you from? Jon

Thanks BFR pm received. I know that I could have pm'd my reply but this way i can get rid of the bait fisherman tag..... Jon

very nice fly and a great stating setup , lots of room there to expand. Hide the receipt for all the stuffthat youy just had to have to start up again. Ha Ha welcome back to our addiction Jon P.s. if we keep posting we get rid of the "bait fisherman tag"!!!!!

Hi dart; Could you send me the contact info I still cant log in under my old signup of Jon G but now that i'm back into the site I can work on it. The royal coachman wets are coming along well. the bodies and tails are looking better since i watched don bastion's classic wet flies DVD. the beard and wings are still bugging me. i just ordered some new mallard wing feathers . i had tried with goose but didn't like the results. Anyways it's good to be able to post again. thanks Jon Grant AKA Jon G

Hi BFR; Could you send me your contact info, I'm also known as Jon g but can't currently log in under that user name for some reason the info isn't being sent to my email addres. thanks Jon Grant
