spending time in the meaty section of fly tying...

Listen lad...if you persist in getting personal, I can release info in regards to your lack of sense, but why..not necessary for ppl to know certain things about you, now do they...and yes I do remember meeting you at fishtales..and more than likely meet up with you again at the up coming show..anyway..you have a long way to go , but in the mean time have a great Xmas........cheers..Wolfie

well I could rip you apart young fellow and set you back into grade school, however..what I said is quite true..maybe you have but most likely you haven't taken those species , with each doing as you posted..for in reality there is No given way a fish will take it's prey by specie of fish to give man an actual statistic method..just like you ..do you open your mouth each time and speak in a logical mature manner..not from the posts of yours I've read..but that's you, and like the fish, it will take it's prey in whatever manner it chooses for that moment. ..and to answer you in regards to "Go back to every other forum and get off this one!"..lad..until you mature enough to speak properly, if I were you, I'd not threaten with words you could not uphold.. ..but as always, this is the season to be jolly....ho ho ho..

what a load of rubbish...by the sound of your post, you haven't been at it to long now have you..been fishing predator fish for quite a few years, including the Muskie and cudda, and until you have taken each one of these fish in the manner you have posted, I suggest you quite posting other ppl's thoughts...

..this is the style I've been stocking up for bulls/and sea run dollies...in various colours,however, this particular one has taken quite a few ,shall I say over 23" browns when then sun goes down...

..just curious PGK...have you used the same large flies , say 4" up for the 'dollies' as well, thinking that even up there [not been there myself], the dollies would surely show themselves for some of those tasty morsels...

why not have a "Material Swap"........way better and things you can get....

bait fishing....hahaaaa...what you created is called a Valdi Worm but without using a pink condom as the entire body calls for..and what do you call a 'dry fly' if it is not bait...hahaaa!

whip finish just 5-7 turns depending on size of fly..then finish the head off with whatever I prefer and in these days...UV varnish from Wales..excellent finish..and this is done either for myself or others...Wolfie

the pics of the yotes are great..too bad I wasn't with you at that time, for my Wolf Nantuc now becoming more mature would certainly make quick kills of both of them..good practice for her for when the parents arrive...

Hmm...just think it's odd that a 22.5" trout would weigh 4-5 lbs..more like 2-3 lbs sounds more realistic..unless this fish was a very deep/thick football of a fish...

you should try a different colour ..try claret/black..and both sizes are productive...

this 'leech' you have tied is one of the most used flies in BC stillwaters..and I've taken fish in the bow with them time and time again...what size is it..#10 or #12?

you tell him Mike...plus..he can eat the bird after he finishes skinning it!

thanks all..was down at Southbow yesterday, and Mike sent me a pm telling me he had some put aside for me...thanks again for ur help...Wolfie.

could someone please tell me where I can get this type of thread..GSP-200, this is a waxed nylon thread...any help will be great.

strip one side of the feather, leaving the shinning side facing the eye of the hook when palmered..saves fighting with them..

you also should note that not only is there 'zonker' cut styles but 'cross-cut' as well, plus various thickness of the hide you are buying.. ..the easiest way of applying the rabbit, is to lick Ur fingers first to lay back the fur, making it easier to see the grain and to tie it in place.

Hi Lornce....so when this certain wax arrives from Wales m8, I'll let you know it's name/cost etc., cause after reading on 'how to make wax' that Roast posted, a m8 of mine is sending me what he uses...a very sticky wax, that he just dabs on the thread..even seal fur can't run away...................Wolfie

I'm sorry, but considering I'm a computer illiterate, what does "X2" stand for...is it some special code a certain clique uses?

this leech ...a favorite of mine for those greedy browns out of the bow..and in BC, a lot of my friends use leeches of sort in the stillwaters with great success.

... ..here is a pic as to what I was talking about, they come in various colours, plus they contain a tab of stick on eyes with each pack..I personally just bought the smaller size, [in three colours], for I can control my casting to a certain size of fly without getting them in the back of my head sorta speaking..anyway..here's the pic.. ..if I were you m8..I'd wait a bit on buying any of that goo, for they are coming out with a new 'goo' that doesn't have that sticky touch to it after wards..as it does now, as far as other material is concern in creating wings, but again it is Not a 4-7" fly but has taken quite a few hits is with Alpaca Fibre..which you tie in a loop, then brush it out/pick it out to make the long fibres wave in the current..it makes a good fly of 3 to 4, sometimes 5" fly..as in the next pic.......................AW this leech is around 4" long...

well, I just finished one that I think will do well with both fish..this fly was created with just two different materials, rabbit fur and marabou, and of course a new type of finish for me that is..Clear Cure Goo..I never use that tuffleye, for over time it does turn a yellowish colour [which I'm sure the fish don't mind]...anyway ur comments please.................Wolfie Plus I've tied a 'loop' of a bit of "Steelon" to the shank of the hook so that in the event that a stinger is required, I can put one on in minutes...

Very informative Garhan..most of the flies you have posted will take water-wolves quite readily, for those that don't know the term, they are Pike, and your colours are not as vibrant as what would use, example, the more bright colours posted by Bhurt... ..where as bright colours are a key for pike..are they the same for the Alberta Bull Trout ? ..maybe I'm wrong , but are you using the EP fiber to create Ur flies..the suggestion is the long thick fibers forming the wing..which seems to be standard in the over sized flies.. ..also notice that you are creating epoxy heads on them..what is your opinion on the new 'fish heads- with stick on eyes'...and...are you putting lead wraps on the hook shanks prior to forming the body.. ..just a few questions to get you to reveal more of the hidden secrets of creating flies for Bull Trouts.............Wolfie

been holding out tying these bloody things..comments are welcomed!
