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.

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?

Have an awesome one Paul!

Excellent! Love the added Beer holder and iphone deck. Thumbs up!

Been following this on CNN. There are a couple reports of objects falling from the balloon, but the pictures are fuzzy at best and it could be anything. I hope that this ends well like the boy who took the ride down the river a few months back.

Thanks and yes, there has been lots of discussion on the logo. We'll be revisiting that shortly. Cheers

You probably noticed that we have changed over the default skin for the forums. If you prefer to use the old one, you just need to change your preference by selection the "IPB Default Skin" from the drop down selector located at the bottom left of the page.

it is a hidden file. There may be an option somewhere to view hidden. Are you using an FTP uploader, or web based. If it allows, a stand alone FTP program is the better way to go.

you'll need to put it into the root folder, and depending on what type of server you are on, it could be in public_html, "web" or another root folder.

I have a friend who would be a perfect fit... it's been removed from CL now, thanks for posting this. I'd love to meet this guy.

It's templedog night in the El Toro household. Tying up an order of doubles for a friend in Norway.

Wow, that's a bit of a rough day. Was gonna say it must have been a full moon, but I think the full moon was a few days ago.

I think that they had to. Faces and licence plates should all be blurry... or perhaps you are hitting the sauce a bit hard tonight Lynn.

too funny. I wish I knew they were coming...

Can you say cheap hackle....

Not sure if this helps, but here is a little loop tutorial my buddy Mike did up. http://flyangler.ca/forum/index.php?showtopic=5099

Wow, those are your firsts! Those will definatly work. DOn't take anything less than 20 bucks a dozen unless zed gets you into some killer locations

Looks like it was a nice trip despite the unfortunate circumstance. Colour me green, I wish I could get out for a run like that.
