Pacres

I like the claret. I do an orange butt version, but haven't tied them for a while. Nice ties.

Welcome back - glad to hear everything went well.

Wow, Great looking fly. The mods you made were dead on. You get it, and the results speak for themselves.

Great vid. Those cows are just badass. Nasty looking noserings and all.

I use the wire to secure the hackle down. You wind the wire in the opposite direction from the hackle and it is bound at many points. It gives it more durability, and if the hackle does break, it is still very fishable. Keep at it, and keep posting your flies. you will be surprized how much you improve over time.

Looks pretty good. Use a 6/0 or 3/0 thread to spin the hair. Thinner thread will just slice through and break before you have ample tension. The tail looks a bit out of proportion. I would shorten it a touch. here is a tutorial I did last year on tying a standard Crystal BH Bugger. Perhaps it will help with your tying. http://www.flyangler.ca/index.php?option=c...8&Itemid=32

Good luck Buddy, We need the BJOTW

I wonder just how fast he could get up to?

http://www.biertijd.com/mediaplayer/?itemid=3513 Didn't think that so much at first but later realized he's doing this on an OPEN road with other traffic!!! The best is at the end when he PASSES a motorcycle! I think this fruitcake has a serious death wish!

Good Story, but I don't think you could have had any more bad luck. lol Thanks.

Those turned out great. I'll have to try a few.

Hmmmm.. I guess they are getting better. Don't make them too good or you'll need to change the title.

Wow, that's almost unbelievable.

Is this the location of the new Bass Pro as well?

No Worries. I'll gladly take this one

So, the last encounter had us tying up a fly to capture the essence of you crotch ... wait for it .... rocket. PacresElToro vs SanJuanWorm GSX-R Tie off BTW, I still haven't received the fly.... vs This time I get to pick the object for inspiration. Here it is.... You have until the end of the month Good luck Dave.

He goes by sparkie on some forums as well. So how do you get to travel soo much? It sounds like a lot of fun. Pick up some kangaroo while you're there for Hopper Zonkers.

KISS - on their last stop in Calgary The Hip - ARSA - Camrose 98? Metallica - When they were booted out of Calgary for a while. lol

Glen, Contact DaveRobinson on the FACA board. he's been down there several times and spent the better half of a year fishing there. He likely has some good contact info for you.
