  1. Hi Guy's, Have an opportunity to fish for grayling coming up and was wondering about fly design with color as one of the elements. With respect to colors and an attractor dry fly do grayling have a penchant for any particular color? Thanks Much! G
  2. Predominately angus cattle in my stomping grounds
  3. HI Guys, the shops that have tying supplies that I frequent almost never have any patches of white calf hair (for Wulff wings) available. Calf hair is one of those materials that I would rather look over before buying. But, since I have nothing to look over because nothing is ever in stock; I need to order online. Who is your preferred online vendor for calf hair where you can get reasonably good patch? Kind Regards, G
  4. Of all the websites I browse on a daily basis this is the only site where I have this problem. The ONLY one.
  5. Hi Guys, I am not especially fond of tying with deer hair, but so many of the flies I fish use deer hair. I am always interested in tools/techniques that makes tying with deer hair (or anything similar) easier and/or less of a mess. Anybody use the Kelly Galloup stacker? Does the Loon hinged Zippy stacker work as well or just differently all together? Thanks! G
  6. Hi Guys, Reinvigorating this thread a tad bit. Besides FE, are there any other vendors who sell cape/neck feathers in small batches (of great quality). I don't have a need to buy several hundred dollars in full capes/necks. I tie just for my own needs. TIA! G
  7. Guys, I am looking to increase the float factor with my Dave's Hoppers. I have seen a few images of with them tied with foam versus yellow yarn. Can somebody steer me in the right direction for a good foam and if possible the technique for tying it in? Thanks Much!!
  8. Hi Guys, Planning a little road trip from Utah to Idaho to fish some rivers and streams in or near the Frank Church area. Was going to tie a bunch of hoppers/x-caddis/Wulff patterns. What else should I tie? (Surface or sub-surface) Speaking of hoppers: is there any material for the wings and legs that is less brittle, but at the same time doesn't lend to sinking the fly? I have been using Hard as Nails on my Dave's hoppers. I feel like it makes the wing case too brittle. Thanks for the tips/pointers! Cheers
  9. Hi Guys, What type/materials of fly body dubbing tends to be the most hydrophobic (resistance to water logging)? TIA! G
  10. Good Morning Guys, Looking for some storage solution for various tying materials. The old Plano tackle box I've been using is just too limiting. Any ideas/suggestions for flat plastic trays that are modular? Preferably, something that can be customized in terms of internal trays? TIA! G
  11. Wow, thanks guys! Lot's of options here.
  12. Hi Guys, Looking for some suggestions for a decent solution for hook organization. Preferably, boxes that can be found on Amazon P. Most of my hooks range in size from 20 to 2/0. TIA, G
  13. Thanks Guys! Will check out Bear's Den. Cheers, G
  14. Hi Guys, Can anyone recommend a vendor that sells fleyefoils online that ship in a reasonable amount of time? The last vendor I used it took them 3 weeks to ship. TIA! G
