Hello, I have been tying for many years now but I have just purchase my first rotary vise (Danvise). I was looking to get some info either by video, book or weblink (preferably) to show me some of the techniques on how to use it properly. I have the basic idea but I am sure there are ways to use it that I haven't thought of yet. Any one know of any? TIA Bob

Good luck Al, Hope everything works out OK with you. Let us know how ya make out. Bob

Nasty looking. I can say that I have never seen the adult. My streams are loaded with the nymphs though.... Bob

Thanks guys! Lots of info there.....should peruse the whole forum before I ask such questions.lol Thanks Bob

I had some once and it had lots of stiff guard hairs. I used to use it as tailing material both for dries (little heavy though) and nymphs. Bob

The subject says it all: What does the adult grow up to be? When does it hatch? Thanks Bob

I was wondering if anyone could refer me to good dragonfly nymph and hellagrammite patterns. I have tried several without much success. I was also wondering as to what method to use to fish them. Upstream/downstream...slow retrieve, short fast pulls? etc etc. The areas where I fish are loaded with dragonfly and hellgrammite and the brook trout seem to love them early in the spring. I live on the east coast by the way. (Nova Scotia) Not to offend anyone but I would like to have a good representative pattern rather than a realistic one. Thanks Bob
