i didnt blame jstockard

i blame fulling mill for their lack of telling tyers that their bucktails are on the small/tiny side

Interesting, I bought 2 Fulling Mill bucktails from a store nearby and thought they were quite nice. Yea a little pricey but, the amount of hair on the tails was amazing. I'll probably get dozens and dozens of clousers and deceivers out of these. I bought a white and a fl.chartreuse. I'll agree that they're definitely not like bucktails were say... 10 15 years ago but, I know things change with supply from time to time.

Welcome to the site from a born and bred central NYer  I've been tying for over 50 years and hosting fly swaps for the past 14.  Feel free to check out one of my swaps on this site - if you'd like - we are always happy to see a new face!  If you live anywhere near Rt 81 we may almost be neighbors.

Either way I look forward to seeing your posts!

Thanks! I used to live quite close to Rte 81. very close to Rte 99 now.

Welcome to the forum- no it's not you sometimes it works but it is easier to right click and select the page in another tab. long time issue but nothing the moderators can do to fix it. looking forward to you posting your work.

Gotcha! Thank you.

One thing - I've having issues selecting pages to view within threads on this forum. Is it just me?  

Davie McPhail for sure. Great all-around tyer. He's the type of person that can look at a fly, decipher it and translate it to the vise. 

Fun fact: Tiemco is NOT a hook manufacturer. Never have been. It's just a brand. Most TMC hooks are made by Maruto.
