Sorry I didn't post sooner. I got a great assortment of flys from FIN JUNKIE. Salt, freshwater bass, salmon and my first tube flies Ive owed. Santa must know I am equal opportunity fisher as this assortment matches my repotoire. Great ties fin. With the warm weather we've been having here in the NE, these may not even last until spring. Thanks to you and BFR for playing Santa.

I'm in the same boat Kevin. I've ordered my wife to stop giving me stuff to do in November and I'm still waiting for her to obey. Ok not the same but I haven't tied for at least a month. Did you set a due date yet?

Got my package on Saturday. I've been a bad boy this year and was only expecting coal in my stocking. Feel like a kid waiting for Xmas morning. Maybe I will convert to judaism so I can open it for Hanukkah instead!

I've had paddlefish caviar. It's not bad but certainly not beluga. There is sturgeon in the Delaware river too. I've seen pics locally but never targeted or got one myself. I've heard it is quite the workout to bring those paddys to boat

In between busting my hump and laughing , my roofer told me to stay off of "his" roof ( which happens to be on MY house.) Seems he didn't like my repair work from last year. I also want to know how a roofer can be sooooo informed about masonry to make more comments about my patchwork on the back of my garage. Maybe commercial lenders should stay out of the building trades???

I have a hemlock in the front yard. Ill gather some cones up and give it a try. Great creativity! Be happy to gather for others. Pm me to discuss

Here is a good site for saltwater lyfishing. No reds up here but reds take most of the same flys that stripers hit.

My Spanish wasn't too bad then? I have a heck of a time with conjugation.

Congrats big guy!!! How about adopting me to fish those WV waters? It's always good to get a little Harmony into the world!

Birds are nice but those dogs are real beauties!!!!! Nice offer for you to make too. I'm good on feathers but I wouldn't mind helping an under 16 year old on a tight budget with postage in order to get some. Eligible <16 should post how they could "pass on" catalpa joe's good karma, I'll send the stamps to him and Joe can pick out the most worthy. Sound good Joe?

Kevin Id like to join. Let me think on the pattern for a bit.

My fys flew today. Santa put some extra presents in as well!!

Addy please.

Steve and all the nice police. I have a problem when people have the need to drag a fish and lay it on rocks (partially submerged or not) just to get a picture. You want to kill the fish, then kill it. I don't have a problem with that. And as far as being reprimanded Steve I'll remain "nice" and just leave my response to your imagination.

I don't see an insult as I called myself the prig and only asked a decidedly sarcastic question. The hell with the first amendment as long as we are all polite. Ask around I don't think I've ever been known as a particularly mean fellow despite a tendency to break them on occasion.

I had a pie at Lucky Bones in cape may, nj that they served hot topped with normal toppings but then put a dressed arugula cold salad on top. Was great.

la bienvenida a Francisco que a todos nos gusta aprender de los hermosos paisajes de alimentos, y la gran pesca en su patria maravillosa. 

Here on the east coast where thin pizza is king you can get pretty much any kind of gourmet pizza. I make a homemade pizza with fig paste and prosciutto usually without any buffalo mozzarella. Fig has that sweet savory thing going on that goes great with the salty Italian ham.

I hate to be a prig but did u eat that fish Laxi or just feed your ego with the photo?

My kinda gal!!! Hoooaaaah

Great tie. They could probably imitate a drowned mouse too??

We should all try to click on sponsor banners. Although I'm still not sure how Internet ads and revenue really work. The less than reputable sites that I visit all say to click on banners to keep their "content" free. My wife took my iPad for over an hour the other night when I showed her a banner ad for a lamp retailer I saw here. The prices of those reproduction Tiffany lamps she was looking at I'm sure would be better spent on fishing gear( especially since I'm the boss)

Look at the top left just below the website banner and above the pictures of flys. Click on FLY PATTERN DATABASE. Make sure you have some time though as you could get lost for hours looking at the collection of great flys.

Welcome to the site. Lots of Danes and other Vikings on here too.

Sweet shrimp!!! Would love it if you put it in the database with materials and instructions.

Here is a link to I fly I posted a while back. I think I used pheasant hen church pane feathers for the claws. I've also used zonkers for claws. I used some melted and markered mono for the eyes.

On fishing them make sure you give them time to sink and sit a bit. I then do short quick strips with a nice long wait in between.

Tight lines

I raise mine too although not as much as I used to.
