Are you guys using the rubber legs for the tail as well or just the legs? I saw someone had a pattern where they used small black and white legs for both. And I have used pretty much whatever I have in my waste bin for the legs as long as it is flexible and fine.

Thanks guys I have tried all of the suggestions and it is certainly getting better but far from perfect. Aquaholic I kind of stumbled across what I think you are talking about while tying the other day. I figure if I got 2 fibers I could claim they were antennae.

Similar discussion from a while ago. Hook Discussion Never did order that combo pack of togen hooks.

I think this is good idea and I will be there pending the date. I think that random teams would be best or we could do a FFC draft ranking anglers by number of posts (not that that means anything about your fishing skills) and then draft accordingly into teams of 4 either by number or allow the top x (x is the number of teams) participants draft teams from the remaining participants. And we were to have prizes I would suggest a lottery system like the NHL has where the top team gets the best chance but every team has a chance at a prize.

I really like Daiichi but the price sometimes bothers me. I have bent several mustad hooks right straight. never had any bad experiences with tiemco but they are only a small portion of my hook inventory. I got all excited on ebay and bought some (100) togen size 16 scud hooks I haven't fished them much. any one have any opinions of the togen hooks?

Bump could we sticky this maybe. I am going to be there this year.

I have been playing with it for a bit tonight some plug-ins don't work yet probably take a while for that. Oddly the adds on this page came up with the plug-in crashed unhappy puzzle piece. looks very pretty the search while typing in the address bar is very cool and it seems way faster than IE7. Using it right now.

3 would be my first choice followed by 1

Exactly Hot water bath when moving between place to place. the manufacturer of your boots probably has a website which will give you more details. So what do we use instead? Aqua stealth? rubber and cleats?

When we were test driving cars a couple years back civic and corolla were definetly number 2 and 3. My preference would have been for the Civic. But we ended up with an impreza for roughly the same money. Slight hit on the gas mileage but all wheel drive is nice in the winter.

It is not a good feeling is it. i swaded the Menomenee (sp?) in Miliwaukee during runoff during my visit to Wisconsin. Got only a very small amount of water over my waders. cell phone died during the event for some reason.

Google found these for me: False Cast Double Haul

I have a pair of simms lightweights that outlasted the boots that I bought with them. They have started leaking a little in the crotch which doesn't bother me all that much because I don't usually have any reason to wade above my knees when fishing the bow.

Have you tried it out recently? looks like it would do well.

Cool idea i will have to give that a try as well

I have tried not tying the hackle so far forward and it helps a little but it seems to change the proportions of the fly ie bigger head smaller abdomen. I will try the locking turns that you mentioned as well.

Ok so I don't tie alot of dry flies mostly because they aren't typically my first choice to fish with. Recently I have been having a hard time with catching the hackle in the head of the fly. Some flies have antennae but not that many. Any pointers or video clips you guys could point out would be greatly appreciated.

Colored yarn.

My vote be for dry fly. Also practice casting while not fishing ie at a local park allows you to focus on casting. I am really bad for not doing this but it really helps. The number of knots you get casting nymphs goes down with time at least it did for me. Don't false cast your nymph rigs. 2 nymphs way easier to cast than 3. Change your strike indicator possibly.

Use the search function. Caddis Emerger I got a 16" brown in bowness park on a variation of the following: Din's Caddis Emerger

It sounds like a good idea however I would probably only participate in the ones that I had the materials for. I would think people would be less likely to participate if the materials were "exotic".

Yes this will certainly make the book eventually.
