Nice work Mark. I'm sure knotting those biots was a real pleasure....Not

Like "A Tale of Two Cities", it was best of times and it was the worst of times. There were some fantastic days and one in particular where my buddy and I got skunked in a spot where that hasn't happened in about 15 years. Seemed like the hatches weren't as "blanket" as in the past but there were some days where the water was covered with bugs and the risers made the water look like it was boiling. It's slowing down now, streamers and dries when there's bugs out. Mostly from now till spring it'll be a nymphing game. The shotguns are coming out for ringnecks and water fowl in just a bit. The rods won't be abandoned but just cut back on a bit.

Steve, still not enough toys! Looks really cool

Beauty tie.

Cut for brevity. Very nice ties. Welcome to the site and you'll find as much knowledge here regarding tying as you do "there" regarding cane.

+1 for what @flytire said

Multi points

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Great flies and ties Mark. As is said the first step is admitting you have a problem. Not that too much fishing is a problem.

Howdy, Utah. Enjoy the comp[any here. Congrats on your award.

Did you paint that?

True 'dat.

Same here

No, no, no. My comment was to show that with a $15K vise the guy still wanted the buyer to pony up for shipping for less than 1% of the cost of the vise.

Awesome gift!

Phil taught me how to tie that bad boy. It get's easier the more of them you tie. I can attest that it's a fantastic pattern. Tied in the right colors and sizes it imitates any mayfly you want. Here's a couple. Can't remember what size they are.

When you raise your rod to pull line back to form the d loop you can't do it too fast. You need to maintain some tension/resistance on the line so you can roll the loop which will then continue to roll the line off the water. Of course free advice is worth what you pay for it.

I'd botch it as soon as I started wrapping thread. Beauty tie Bruce.

He sure does. Thanks for your answer Norm.
