The Beatty's also did a video on the Grant weave. Look at their you-tube channel Rick

I remember when I was just learning, how many of my flies fell victim to submerged objects, trees and poorly tied knots - still do, thankfully just not as many. 🙂 QuoteIf I I don't loose a couple of flies I am not fishing close enough to places warmwater fish located..\

We are in a drought. I think I would take it, but loose my life to my wife.

I have a lot of some materials that are for proven flies that I use. So I tie for 4 friends and send a lot of flies to CFR and RR.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!

Nice report and fish. Rick

Got some great flies from St Nick and flytire.

Very nice.

Blessings to your family. Rick

The boa yarn and eyelash palmered on a hook make flies that have caught a lot of fis, warmwater.. You can also add legs before you palmer the material. Rick

Like the variation niveker.

Time with Family and tying for CFR and RR. Rick

Nice looking flies. Rick

Got my package today. Thanks for all you effort St Nick. Rick

from CFR We will have close to 60 retreats in 2024, and about 15% of those will fish warm water, the rest cold. Flies can be shipped to me: Jen Lofgren - Casting for Recovery 670 S. Franklin St. Denver, CO. 80209 From RR We'll have 30 US Retreats (and 5 international) and pretty evenly split between cold and warm water. Address to send flies: Reel Recovery 160 Brookside Road Needham, MA 02492 There are 14 people in each retreat. You also may want to mark them for warm or cold water. Rick

Tried a streamer peacock tail, alpaca roving body, flash rib , squirrel wing. Rick

With you flytire. Rick

My try at Josaphine Baker flies, down sized for panfish.

Looks good, but don't over do it. Rick

Another beautiful fly. Rick

This comes from a Friday night tying video with the Beatty's. When tying in rubber legs use a very little dubbing under the legs and the legs stay placed better. Use a very minimal amount of dubbing. Supposed to help with ice dubbing also, but have not tried that. Rick

What is the body of Dr. Mike tied with. Guessing chenille but looks coated. Vinyl would look like that. It is Star Burst fibers (hot green) from FTD in a dubbing brush. Rick

Thanks for your effort to get this posted. Rick

I have seen four flies that are called half and half. Rick
