  1. i recently discovered foam stamps(cookie cutters for foam) and would like one with my own pattern to it is there some way to make these???
  2. well now im confused... thought i knew what was going on but geuss not. i thought stacking was the putting the hair in the stacker and pounding it loud enough to make everyone in the house go crazy till the tips were lined up. sounds like what your trying to say its its some way to tie in hair. :dunno: :wallbash: :dunno: but thanks for the comments and tips :headbang:
  3. I got done with these few deer hair bugs and was wondering if I did a good job or not so I figured I'd throw it out there for you guys to see. I made the blue one from the "hide" of a stuffed animal i won at the fair last week and was wondering what you guys thought about it too. seems for some reason that i can only get one to load :wallbash: so here it is. well i tried but i cant get it to work so heres the url for my yahoo pics page...
  4. where do you go about gettin this span flex?? :dunno:
  5. sounds like a good deal. what exactly is the best way to toe tag flies though
  6. im not sure what to do so ill put it to a vote 1. #6 chernobyl in brown/black or bright yellow 2. #16 foam ant 3. any size japanese beetle

    OUCH

    note to self... never tie another fly with black and orange. :crazy:
  11. www.khww.net its a bunch of nice guys on their so dont be afraid of em they wont bite. you might also try www.igkt.net thats the international guild of knot tyers site.
  12. i was attempting the burks v worm variation in the pattern database and thought id throw in what you said. the real question is do i have enough rubber legs?
  13. just a reccomendation maybe scheuled chat times for tying or warmwater fish for example. the fancy knot site im also on has a chat every sunday for a chance for everyone to get together. myself i normally log into chat everytime im on the site just as habit in case someone else is on.
  14. knots lead me here chris. i started tying fancy knots and always liked fishing so my parents thought knots and fishing... tying flies and bought me a kit for christmas.
  15. definatly not gettin this whole concept of shark fishing from a kayak. seems like youd be pulled out to ocean since you cant just fire up the motor and go the other way. ill stick to bluegill from a paddle boat they wont pull me so far and if they can ill be happy cause thats a huge bluegill
  16. im gonna hafta go with the :wheelchair: option streamside
  17. read this article the other night and thought it would be forever before we got anything nice enough to have that dustwrap stuff. we just got a digital camera with a little but we threw it away before i saw this. when i got home from school today i found out my brother must have decided he wanted a tv in his room cause here sits the box for the 24" tv right next to the computer desk :headbang: . i bet he never knew he could make me happy by buying a tv for himself
  18. had to say bluegill :headbang: , strange vote for the name i know, but i'll take anything thats on the other end of the line and not algae.
  19. Whats the best method to go about knotting or wrapping deer hair for the krazy kicker frog's legs. Any tips or strategies would be much appreciated.
  20. I'm currently working on redoing my knot pictures since the knot site changed hands and lost all the old stuff and we got a new digital camera but heres a few that turned out ok on the scanner or cheapo digital camera.
  21. lapboard... i tie in the living room on the loveseat. throw my supplies on one side of the arm rest and me, tools, and vise on the other side. not many supplies since i just started last christmas so they fit well where they are and its a nice view of the tv from there.
  22. *drools on rod and thinks of little engine that could...* I think I can.
  23. Yeah, as I looked around a bit I realized I'm not the youngest... I'm just used to being the youngest by a far shot in my other hobby of fancy knots.
  24. Hello everyone! New to fly tying since last christmas and everyone around here says I'm getting real good at it so I decided to set out and see if it was true. I'm fairly sure I'm the youngest if not one of the youngest tiers out there at 15 but I enjoy it alot. Not many trout streams here in Indiana so I fish mostly for bluegill and lately started trying for a few bass on the fly rod. I've been fly fishing for around a year and half now but not that many oppurtunities to fish since I don't have any wheels yet, but that will all change after this winter .
