  1. QUOTE (SmallieHunter @ Oct 29 2003, 03:52 PM) The only negative is he only sells natural fur so you gotta dye it yourself, but I have learned it a very easy process and you can really customize your colors to best suit your needs. I just had a look and he does sell dyed stuff,the only negative I see is that he doesn't do internation orders shame really I liked the look and price of the bucktails. Ashley
  2. Even though this is funny, its been around fpr ages.

    Advice

    My advice would be to take things slowly and keep things sparse. Along with what everyone else said. And practice. Ashley
  4. I don't limit myself to the flies I use.I just end up using the same 6 or 7 patterns all season long where ever I'm fishing. Ashley
  5. Onshore, I fished Brewster flats last week,I saw no Bluefish after Wednesday,did you see any? Found a large number of stripers by the orange bouy eating silversides. Ashley
  6. Lovely,I must tie some for September.What size do you recommend for sight fishing. Ashley
  7. Can I send cash,its easier for me.I'll get it Saturday. Ashley
  8. I believe line colour does matter.The rivers I fish are clear and a change to olive lines as made a difference.Also the way a line hits the water also makes a difference. Ashley
  9. I haven't tried either because I use the fur from the mask for smaller hares ears and back fur for larger. Ashley
  10. I fish the salt once a year-for a week in September I'd fishmore given a chance.I tie salt water quite often. Ashley
  11. something to drink,insect repellent and a map to find where I'm supposed to be fishing.Shades to spot the fish and protect the eyes. Ashley

    What do you do...

    I work for a pine furniture company.I'm surposed to fix and polish the furniture but spend most of my time delivering it(get to look for roadkill) and check on the rivers where I fish during works time(along with planning fishing trips and drinking coffee). Gregor,hows the fishing in Slovenia?I'm going to the Soca next month. Ashley
  13. I've tried both ways and I think it makes any difference.I tie the hackle in going up the post,wind down the post and tie off.Hope you know what I mean,the easyist way I know. Ashley
  14. I have a travelling tying kit which I take on all long range trips(Ireland,Slovenia and Cape Cod).This kit is in a orvis tying bag and saved many a trip. The contents change from trip to trip,the key is to take materials that are required for the flies that I'll be using.The same tools stay in the bag every thing else changes. Ashley
  15. Thats better than my first fly and I bet it'll catch fish. Ashley
  16. Mine arrived a couple of days ago and I've just had a proper look at them-loved them then love 'em now. Thanks to all involved especially Preach for running it. Ashley
  17. Got mine a couple of days ago.Nice set of flies,I'm going to use them as models when I get round to it.Thanks to the swappers and SHOE for meistering. Ashley

    Happy Easter

    Happy Easter to all. Friday and Saturday will be spent with the kids before their mother takes them back.Fraid it means fishing after that
  19. The dyes I've found to work on mallard breast is veniards,dylon(fabric),turmeric and onion skins.The last one results in a woodduck sub but thanks to Greyson I don't need it at the moment. Ashley
  20. Will sorry to hear the bad news.As others have said think of the family first and try casting with the other arm.But have thought about learning to dap,I know the Irish use live bait but you can also use dries.Just a thought. Ashley
  21. I've stayed in hotels,lodges,BandB's but most off all I love to camp which I do when I visit cape cod. Ashley
  22. QUOTE (OSD @ Mar 15 2004, 05:48 PM) Is my Fly tying station the only one thats a mess? OSD. No,all these put mine to shame,its more of a tip than a tying bench.I've got a picture but its not on the 'puter yet. These benches are impressive. Ashley
  23. Mine are done and on their way. Ashley
  24. Mike, I'd get them boraxed asap.Also make sure theres no fat or meat left on them. Ashley
