It sometimes can be pulled off, but more likely, you'll need a razor. I haven't tried it with Ringneck, but this is what I do for my Amherst tails. Something Todd Scharf showed me was just to use the blade to get it started and to keep the base from getting too thick. You can do it ahead of time and just keep small sections in a bag ready to use.

Great looking flies Kyle. Are you fishing them on sinking lines? Killers for the pothole lakes. You should tie up a few in black and olive too.

I heard this on the radio this morning. WOW! I didn't think something like that would be possible. thanks for the link to the article and pic.

It happens from time to time. I fish mostly scud (curved shank) hooks, and it does happen, but not all the time. the size 8 might be a bit large for the fish, and moving down to a 12 might be better for you. BTW, I'm using the Mustad C49S on most flies and find that they mostly hook in the front lip, depending on the fly for top or bottom. When smaller fish hit, I usually slack the line to let them get unhooked.

Just use the IMG Code on Photobucket and you'll be good. Nothing has changed on FCC.

Not 500 a day, but 50 dozen a week is about right. Some do use head cement, but many do not, it really depends on where they are coming from. Many of the ones that do use cement tend to fill in the eyes anyhow. The bigger issue is the hooks used in many of the mass produced bargain flies. I don't put a lot of stock in them as I've had a few very nice fish bend out or break the cheap hooks.

Great pics. Love that First one of the horizon.
thanks for sharing.

Gratz! What a cutie.

Congrats! He is a really cute guy. It's a fun time. I've been really enjoying the last 10 months with my new son, I can't wait until I can take him fishing. Grandpa has already got most of his gear bought.
Simpson....Congrats, was nice knowing ya... I don't know if we'll hear from you again once the 2 girls arrive.
My buddy has twin girls and they love going fishing with daddy. -
Happy Birthday. Here is hoping you get a new job and a new purse.

Have a great one Terry!

How are you at selling products?

I moved my backup online. There are a number of services you can use to do this and IMO is the safe. One other thing to keep in mind is that if there is something bigger than a virus, say theft, flooding or fire, the external won't help you out.
If you do go the External drive route, be sure to get one with RAID, using multiple drives. That way if one of the backup drives goes down, you can replace it without losing any data.

Here are some monster cones and some half and halfs
Half and half of what? lol
Seriously, that light coloured fly looks awesome.

Darren, do you mean temple dog or is finn dog a temple dog replacement? From what I've been able to figure out temple dog is a step above arctic fox but below polar bear. Haven't seen it in person yet, so I don't know what the movement on it is like.
Finn Dog or Finn Racoon is not templedog. I think that templedog is actually domestic Dog, or originally was. Lots of guys won't use it out of priniple. The Finn Racoon is really close to templedog. It is close to Fox, but nothing close to Polar bear. If you can find it, seal on a pelt is pretty close to polar bear. The icelandic sheep is good, but I find it to be too long for most things I tie and end up scraping lots of it.

Congrats to both of you!

That is one sexy looking overhead shot of that fly.
I picked up some of those heads, but have yet to try it. One of the guys there tying (Mike) tied me up a nice little fly using them. I just need to find some of that Finn dogg they were tying with.
-
Just add some lead barbell eyes and you have a fluffy concussion in the works. Nice idea with the cones. I would maybe try putting the cones on in reverse so you really get your materials to stand away from the tube.
-
That looks kewl. Do you have a bunch of cones inbedded in the body or am I just seeing things...
-
I got one off one of the guys last year and am really happy. The components are decent and I was able to pick blank colour, thread colour to match my primary line, component color to match the reel as well as getting my name added to the blank. He also added markers on the blank I could use to measure the fish. IMO, if I could build my own, this is what I would have done, but I don't have the time or ambition to do so.

Twins?
Hope you have good ones. -
There was a grayling being released, and the pike was after that grayling. Pretty sure this is posted a couple years back on the site, but it's a classic now.

I make the base as thin as I can. Just a bit wider than the fibers. Some guys actually sand the stem after to get it even thinner. I cut down towards the base as well.
You can post youtube video using the id that comes after the v= in the address.
I hope that helps.
