I'm in #8

Nice job dude!

I was wondering about these as well, delicate on the floss??

too funny!!

This thread is too touchy feelly for my liking!

Mine's still stuck together, its in there good like the sword in the stone! I tried everything and even tried using wire cutters up against the ferrules and tapping with a hammer, after a liitl.e scrapping I decided that its hopeless and if I want to get it unstuck and back to a four piece I'm just going to have to head to springbrook

I agree, there has been numerous patterns that are out there that are just tweaked out versions of another persons pattern, that someone else has tweaked from another and so on and so on. I think that an original pattern would not come from the materials it was made, from but the technique used to make the fly.

Welcome back Gary!

I lost my clicker thingy on my bauer last year and i really don't have the urge to get it replaced. If really needed I just make the sound myself as needed......ziiiinnnnnnnnng.

I couldn't get past ten seconds of that vid

constipated???? I really don't have an answer

Sweet fish dude!

Brilliant! I'll think I'll have to pick that mag up. Yeah marrying wings is what I was looking for. I'm going to have to pick some goose up, and I've been mounting wings with some spare turkey that I had kicking around for practice. So far I like the look of the flies, just need a little more practice as some of the wing fibers are splaying out a bit

Okay I got a few to ask here so I'm going to go point form In your opinion what would be the best feathers for wings? Are there some feathers that hold together more better than others? I just got a skin and wondering where should I be plucking my feathers from for the wings, shoulders?? I just got a golden pheasant skin and beofre I start butchering it is there some procedure to seperating different feathers from each other? eg. get to some of the more patterned feathers underneath the front feathers that are more one plain color.

they're about this long o-----------------------------------------------------------------0 put fingers to screen

What size of hooks?? That biggest one looks like it could use a stinger hook or tie them on a carry stevens hook

danica comes to mind

Good on ya dude for carrying some of that trash out with ya! Nice report too

I got some good ideas on some winged wets will post a pic of my third attempt, I will need to pick up some new materials for the next ones

Is this going to be on a (your) existing site?? I have someone that may be able to help out but needs a little more info

Welcome gents! Looking forward to the international swap!!

Definitely a wicked day for sure guys! Glad to meet some other people from the board as well. Hopefully those golf balls don't accumulate to quickly!! Thanks for the job well done Wongrs and Pipestonefly, I know there is some work in putting things together and everything worked out seemlessly, Good stuff! While I missed out on Toolman and Speyghillie, I had a pretty good after BBQ fishing session. I went off to the hullswood run and hooked into five bows and landed three, all on a (16) copper john, and the other cooler thing was, I thought one of the guys were coming by from the bushes and when I turned around there was 3 deer, 2 bucks and a doe! Pretty cool! and again thanks everyone for the effort today, great job!

Hey Shuck, a good website to check out is Flyanglersonline and check out the flytying section and in there they have a beginners section with some basic ties for some practice
