Thats too bad I was hoping to put one on my car.

I found this article I will have to try it out when I get back from vacation. Overhand Knot Weave Is your fly a different color on the bottom?
-
OMG that is just beautiful. I am gonna have to learn how to do that braid(weave?) work it looks really impressive. Thats too bad I had most of my worm patterns completed, I guess I will just have to fish them. I wish I had more time to try some of the other patterns. Thanks for trying to organize this, it would have been an amazing display.

My hopper pattern was tied before the terrestrials competition as i stated when I posted it. I didn't have time to tie another. I have never entered it in any other competitions I swear.

Newbie question of the day: Why are you concerned about the bead sliding forward? I doesn't look like there is anywhere for it to go in your picture.
-
There were a couple of browns yesterday who felt the same way. then the rock fish got it.
-
I think this is legitimate I have seen spawning salmon do similar things on the west coast to try and get around fish hatcheries. Heres another link: Daily Mail And Brichy is right definetly instinctual.

Wow had I known people would get this serious about this contest I would have done something other than a simple nymph.
-
I would guess that it actually has more surface area and that reason it doesn't "stick" to the water is because it breaks the surface tension due to the roughness.
-
Hmmm.. I was completely unaware probably in one of those emails they send out that I delete. Pretty cool. Thank you.
-
Funny when I saw that pic my first thought was my eyes, my eyes...i'm blind.
-
I have several times when I have left my 6 at home.
-
The way I look at it if you actually enjoy tying then you come out ahead, but if are only doing it save yourself money and you factor in the cost of your own labour it is likely not worth while. I have a hard time imagining not enjoying tying but everyone is different.

I will try to answer, most of what I say is opinion. I think it will be worse after Castro because I think that communism will end when he dies. Cuba has been significantly weakened by the collapse of the soviet union their historical primary trading partner. The country really has very little to export in terms of raw goods currently. The whole region is not historically very stable and change in power will cause huge problems. The discovery of rather rich oil reserves offshore has led to a great deal of interest from foreign investment from places like Canada and China. I can't imagine the US not being interested in oil anywhere in the world so I think you will see some change to their policy. So Cuba may see some recovery in the short term. I don't think one can look at Cuba as being truely communist (at least not anymore) there is far too much corruption and the classes of society are fairly obvious. My friend Sasha said it best I think when I was trying to describe the quality of life that the people have there. "The majority of the people are poor but they all seem to be in good health". There is a lot of poverty there but there is also a state food ration system which provides a minimum amount of food for the people and a state run free healthcare system. Are Cuban people really happy I would say no based on the number of people trying to escape but some certainly are. I could go on for hours but I won't right now.

I was in Cuba just last year. It is a beautiful country and well worth visiting before Castro dies, I foresee problems afterwards. Also Americans are welcome in Cuba they just can't fly directly from the US to Cuba. There was an american staying at our hotel who flew in through Mexico. There was a story I heard while I was there about Castro trying to send doctors and nurses to New Orleans after Katrina to help with the relief effort and bush rejecting the assistance.

They were doing that to us as well until we cancelled our subscription haven't heard from them since. We don't answer calls from area codes we don't recognize because of telemarketers and people doing surveys.

My wife and I signed up for this when we bought our house earlier this year. We locked in the electricity and let the gas float. Also includes water bill. It is really nice not worrying about extra bills and you can sign up to have have it directly withdrawn. In my opinion rates will only go up and their "locked in" rate is low anyways and they claim you can get out of it unlike their competition.

When does it end or does it just keep going? cause its still close

1 XL Hoodie 1 Toque (XL if there are sizes) 1 XL T-Shirt would really like a patch for my vest. -
Alright so I completely forgot to post the recipe. Hook #10 Eagle Claw 94845 Tread Yellow 6/0 Uni Body Yellow orange and tan foam sheet from walmart shaped with scissors finished with sand paper. Wing Deer Hair Head Spun Deer Hair Legs Yellow rubber Legs colored with a black sharpie Really a very simple tie. Might want to try the orange foam as the bottom layer to fool some fish into thinking its a stone.
