lol Nice.

Check out this link, 40 top vids of 2009 (lots of indie rep) Remember when videos used to play on TV? http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/...videos-of-2009/

Good idea Dune. Not sure how indie you wanna go, but here is some stuff I'm digging ATM. You say party We say die! Click here if the movie does not play. The Mountains and the Trees Magneta Lane - Lady Bones Click here if the movie does not play. Shout Out Out Out Out - Remind Me in Dark Times Islands - No You Don't Click here if the movie does not play.

My suggestion would be to use Arctic fox in the tail. It'll keep most of the action of the marabou, but will stand-up much better against teeth. For the wing, icelandic sheep or even Yak hair is a good material. I would lean towards the sheep hair as the Yak can be slippery and pull out if it isn't secured really well. Superfly has a new hair called SuperFiber that would work well on this pattern as well. What ever you use, just add a couple strands of pearl flash over top and in the wing.

Wow, great video.

Thanks everyone I didn't get to wet a line today, but I did get a nice new line for my 2wt. Can't wait to use that.

That is cool. Some unreal pics on the site. I think I have seen this guy on Daily Planet a while back as well.

I tie mine on egg hooks (Mustad Sig. C67S). Pretty much all my flies I now tie on a curved shank hook with the exception of streamers. I use a small hook and dangle the chenille over the front and back.

The loops are cool. I really hate re-rigging multi-fly set-ups, and tend to fish flies longer than I really want to because of it. I'm gonna try that on a few Chironomid patterns I think. Nice flies all so far.

Thanks for the update Neil. I'm sure this book will be just as great as the other 2 and the Fusion articles. It will be a welcome addition to the library.

Sweet, can I join ya.

Congrats guys. You can see you banner up now on the home page - http://flyfishcalgary.com

If you were to buy one new, I think they were retailing around 70 bucks. If you want a comparable, look for Jan Siman Turbo Dubbing Spinner. You can pick these up for around 60 or so.

Awesome fish Dude. I love skinny water fishing.

Nice range of species. That would be killer to hit a few of those. Rick, the Chart and White is great in freshwater as well. Think Walleye.

Sounds like fun if I happen to be in town. Play for flies.

Dude! That is awesome. Big time kudos on the idea.

Nice football. Looks like he ate a big sucker.

I use an Ekich bobbin and IMO, it's the best one out there ( I have not used the Rite though). I didn't think it would really make much of a difference, but after tying with one for a week, I couldn't go back to using a standard bobbin. The Nor-vise bobbins are great as well, but the big drawback for me was the spools. Because you need to wind the thread to the spools, you lose out on any time saving. the Ekich accepts standard spools like UNI, Danville, Gudebrod and Bennechi (with a small notch cut). The tension is great, and I can even use the UNI Caenis (20 denier) with it. The only drawback I've found with it is the length of thread you can use before needing to reset the tension spring. You can use 24 inches, which is enough for most trout flies I tie, but for the salmon and steelhead flies I tie, I usually need to reset it once, but even that, is pretty simple and can be done one handed while you tie. I would suggest getting a hold of someone with any of the bobbins interested in and giving them a try. If you come to the Fusion show in the new year, there should be a couple people with the bobbins to look over and see how they work.

Awesome looking intruder! The lazer yarn finishes off the head really nice. Thanks for the step by step.

Thanks for the insight on the pattern. I like the use of the peacock sword in the tail, killer. Nice fish too, glad to see there are still some nice slabs running around in Swan.

Just some info from the 1976 scare. 60 minutes broadcast... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9mh9f_sw...opaganda_webcam

Welcome to the forum Rick. Always nice to have another angler on board.

That is a nice looking fly Wolfie. Arctic fox is a great material to work with. Here is one from the other night.

lol... Really mean. Can anyone translate Japanese?
