  1. Love the Regal Medallion Series with the bronze pedestal base. It's served me well for a lot of years. such an easy to operate vise!
  2. I've used this particular fly all through California, Oregon, and Colorado when visiting the in-laws....boy!!! I tell ya I don't know what kinda "mojo" it has but I've never had such consistent results with a caddis pattern. The pattern is actually pretty easy to tie. I've seen Rick Fox tie this up and it's really cool. he takes mono and strings 6 glass beads onto the mono and burns the end to make what amounts to "2 bodies" For the brown Radical Caddis he colors the end of the mono with a marking pen. in sticks the "bodies' in slots in the top of a Styrofoam cup and gets to throwing epoxy on the beads...he continually drips the epoxy on the beads while turning the cup....after 5 minutes he has approx 14 bodies ready to go. Rick has some other awesome patterns out there and he's as cool as they come. Really free in sharing his info on how to tie his stuff. For some reason i've met a few tiers that are very guarded on their flies lol He's one of those talented Umpqua Feather Merchant Contract Tiers. Seems to be a number of them in California....Mike Mercer, Andy Burk, Dave Sloan, Rick Fox. I've met them all and they're all very cool guys....plugging for the California boys! LOL
