Guest Report post Posted July 23, 2008 I just put the finishing touches on a very excited new fly database feature that everybody should enjoy. Ever find some material laying around and wonder what patterns you can tie with it? The new Browse by Material feature will enable you to do just that! Simply click on the link for the material you want to research and you will automatically be taken to a page to show you all of the flies in the FTF Fly Database that list that material in the pattern information. For example, if you want to find new patterns that incorporate CDC, simply click this link to see over 100 patterns: http://flytyingforum.com/materialCDC.html As always, the success of these programs largely depend on this community. If everyone takes their time to list all of the materials in the pattern they are submitting the better the chance that somebody will find it useful. I also need help in listing a variety of materials for people to choose from. I have a few dozen types of feathers,furs and synthetics so please reply with anything that comes to mind. To view the Browse by Material feature visit: http://flytyingforum.com/materials Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 what if the "ultra wire" category was just "wire" to include all ribbing wire?? as in "fine gold wire" or "fine silver wire" Calf is synthetic?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 23, 2008 Calf was left over from copying another column, it is gone now. In my mind instead of making Ultra Wire more generic I would like for things to be more specific. You would be able to click on the generic wire or drill down to something more specific like Ultra Wire, lead wire, etc. A long journey from here to there but that is the goal.

letumgo 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 Will, Could you add a listing for "Tube" (as in tube flies) and "Rattle" (as in containing glass or plastic rattle) and "Epoxy" (as in any flies with epoxy coated wing cases)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted July 24, 2008 Great suggestions! They are listed and a few others I thought of under the Miscellaneous heading. Keep the suggestions coming, I want to make this as extensive as possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
