I agree with all of the answers. Its important that the hackle not exceed wing length I purchased a 6 inch stainless ruler and it will mearure down to 1 mm. Its nice to study well tied flies with it,and you can actually hold it to the screen or photo to mimic proportions. Hackle gauges are very helpful when tying on a" standard ".dry fly hook

I will be posting some better video onthe different winging techniques shortly, I'll keep you posted

Get out while you still can! :j_k: Glad to have you on board, prepare yourself, for this venture may be alittle rocky :hyst:

Both are great suggestions

My main vise is a master's Renzetti

Still working out software stuff with movie maker, music is cheesy. Also need to work on the hands, sorry I work pretty hard' just that time of year. Believe when I say this simple pattern works great in PA. http://www.hatchesmagazine.com/tv//play.php?vid=166

To RRSS , you could but I don't think so :hyst:

Very nicely tied :headbang:

Im in, Maybe some Muddlers or something Spun

I'm in

Just sent via paypal Thanks ahead of time Bruce

Phil, heres a couple flies using ice dubbing. I learn this technique from Mr. Hamilton Joe Penich :headbang:

I think Dales first comment is right on I also agree that if you have confidence in the fly your going to be much more productive. Some of the most beat up flies in my box prove it.

Matt thats alot of Meth :jumpy: :bugeyes: I just finished a box full for a Pa run(weather permitting)I 'll be going over the holiday!

I used daiichi 1650"s They now seem to push the Xpoint daiichi Style X510

I use what sounds similar, they are nuke eggs and they work great :headbang: They have a nucleus made from a brite color mcfly foam or glow bug yarn, covered by a "halo" of normally white glow bug yarn

Yeah, What they said

OH YEA! Very nice patterns :headbang:

Static guard(its in a aersol can) in the laundry isle

Sorry for the double post

Heres a kevin Feenstra pattern I tied up and really wacks the Steel when swinging it :headbang:

The 1st. set of flies are interesting. They may impart better action if the heads were trimmed flat on the top and bottom :dunno:

Now , heres a top water pattern :whistle:

I've used rubber legs on several patterns and they definately give a fly that special action that is often needed when doing that type of fishing
