  1. What an awesome idea. I'll rise to the challenge. troutnabout
  2. I've found some easy to assemble and light wieght wooden boxes at ikea. You can get different drawer sizes so you can store capes ,thread ant thing you want. They're backs are pre-drilled so you can easily mount thme on the wall. Good luck.
  3. Try going to www.daily fishing log.com. It's private so only you can view it and you can customize the info. you want to track.
  4. Hey guys I found a good storage solution for materials. You can go to IKEA and get ready to assemble light wieght wooden boxes with a variety of drawer sizes. You can mount them on the wall behind your bench. They're great. Check em out!
  5. Steelie: I've looked twice and don't see anything referring to your chapter. I'll be reading more and if I see it in this or another issue I will send it to you. .Troutnabout
  6. Great looking fly! Have you tried a body with black and maroon wire? I've had luck with a caddis nymph pattern that is similar to the one you tied. Try it,you'll like it!
  7. Chris: I have the Summer 2006 issue. Is this whatyour looking for ?
  8. Alex: thanks for the suggestions. I'm not familiar with two of the patterns,I'll enjoy some new challenges.
  9. Bryce: thanks for the reat resource. It's on my desktop now. I'll refer to it often
  10. At least you went fishing. I slept through mine.
  11. :headbang: Thanks Bryce. I'll check it out. tight lines.
  12. Hey guys: Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I'll tie one on !!! Maybe I'll try some of the fly patterns too :hyst:
  13. Thanks; There is the exact difference you describe. :yahoo:
  14. Has anyone found a supplier who sells left handed flytying scissors?
  15. :help: A co-worker is taking his kids lake/pond trout fishing in the NC mountains. I'm thinking about wolly buggers, what else would you suggest?
  16. How awesome that you can share flyfishing with your daughter. :yahoo:
  17. Chrisfish: maribou should work in the c. grinder Also good for blending different colors or types.
  18. Yeah I've heard of it but never fished it. Always looking for a new river. Where is it and what's it like?
  19. :hyst: Chrisfish: Are you going to enter that in the 2006 contest ? I'd love to see the materials list and tying instructions !! Some other possible names : the sack snipped scud: the neuter nymph.
  20. Sniksoh :I'll try to get some picks up.Never done it before so may take alittle while. Peterjay : Too bad. Maybe going to a dog groomer who would save some out would work. Deeky: I don't know about that. I wonder how people get the smell out of rabbit or fox etc, Maybe washing it in non scented soap or sprsying with fabreeze might work. What do you think?
  21. I just figured out what to do with all the hair my dog sheds. I chopped it in a coffee grinder and tied up some nymph patterns and they look real buggy. Don't know how they will sink though
  22. Bryce: I live in charlotte,NC. I first got introduced to southern appalachian patterns at Davidson river outfitters . You know Kevin Howell who's dad was a big loca tyer. Where do you live in Western NC? I love to fish the Tuckaseege.
  23. Thanks Joe. I'll give it a try
  24. I need help with tying in a starling feather as a body hackle wrap. Stem gets real thick, real quick. :dunno:
