Does no one shoot revolvers? The Ruger LC9 are double action ever shot and have the same or similar trigger travel to a S&W revolver. I like the old model better than the striker fire newer ones. Take a little test, dry fire the weapon with a dime balanced on the top of slide. Practice squeeeeeeeeeeeezing the trigger so the dime does not fall off. If you jerk the trigger or grab it like a Holstein teat, the dime and your shot will be off. Muscle memory is important, and practice.

Your PO Monday? Parole or probation? Don’t forget my birthday gift.

So the Richards Blvd wasn’t familiar? I’m sure I could handle a super taco. A Mexican grocery store in my town sell fifty cent street tacos of taco Tuesday. The are awesome. I’ve often seen people order a hundred.

I actually prefer burritos.

According to the post office my flies should be behind a bush at 7218 Franklin Blvd Sacramento, CA or 851 Richards Blvd. hope you find them. They are sorry for the inconvenience.

Apparently I suffered a seizure or hallucination and signed up somehow? I guess, as Aesop predicted, all of the early tiers will do ants and fittingly, I will do a grasshopper. July 10th is the due date Bob? 12th? Hey folks don't forget my birthday on 7/11

Thank you for hosting Bob! Great flies everyone.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

I wet the flies and added a photo from www.troutnut.com

Bob they will be in the mail Monday. Thanks for hosting. This is a great early season caddis.

FishingBobNelson I googled how to make Trout Crack. It seems interesting. Could be something worth doing.

Bob the postal people delivered it a day early. You owe them a chalupa or dos.

Thank you

In the mail today. Big mottled Autumn caddis

FishingBob, please tell me, what is a caddis?

I grew up in that area. I was trying to think whose flies they could be. I was at the Darbee house growing up often. I’m from that area. If he had authentication it could be worth it. I wonder if Jim Krul or Mike Valla saw his collection?

Got mine. Cool flies. Great selection. Thanks Kim for a great swap

Thank you Kim for running a great swap!

Thank you. Yes, I have never seen anyone else tie these. Niveker, I find most people make the tail and body too long and that makes the fly fragile. Go farther up the feather and make the tail and abdomen shorter. When I tie the traditional, I also include divides wings. I often cheat and cut the pulled forward wood duck and even it.

Wood duck and deer body hair. This is a variation of the Darbee two feather fly. I used deer hair instead of hackle. The wood duck flank forms an extended body. Simple and quick tie, but a great dry fly for picky trout. Daiichi 1167 size 14 They will be in the mail today.

So, this is just feathers and thread, this good? LOL

A Darbee two feather

I will. Jim Mackey a long time friend of her family will.

Mine are really in the mail. I blessed them and wished them luck. I told them to stay away from Flytire’s “postal” flies and keep their feathers to themselves.

I will have mine in mail by Friday.
