investing time tying up some of Quigley's, made this one in orange to test the theory of Orange... .....................Wolfie

Hell..if you can go to Oz, then you should be able to buy whatever you need as far as materials are concern right there...I spent 6 months there and didn't have a problem finding shops that sold what was needed for the flies that were producing...just enjoy the hospitality, the friendliness, the fishing and the great evenings.............Wolfie

Now that is an interesting question for you boys and Ladies of course out there in La La land... ..had asked a friend of mine from Luxembourg, here was his answer.. .. Hi-vis klinkhammer (or para-dun or any easily visible fly) and a very small fly-20 or 22 (e.g. grifffiths gnat or f-fly) trailing behind it can be deadly [around 2' or less]- particularly in faster water or at dusk where it's very hard to see small flies. The bigger fly is acting as a strike indicator and also gets taken itself. ..well, what is your take on this I ask you?........Wolfie

there is still an old method not mentioned...SALT...that is a strong solution of non iodized salt..a 'brine solution'. In my taxidermy years, that was how I was taught but since the availability of 'borax', that is the best way and it is cheaper than buy isopropyl alcohol, which by the way Jack is an older way than salt!

thank you....boy you would think that SCs everywhere in Canada as long as they are Canadians would be given a free ride after all the years of supporting the industry as well making it possible for all the young 'pups' of today!

No....that is who is asking...a m8 of mine.

was just asked if Alberta gives a special rate to out of providence SC=senior citizens...considering the fact that it is free for our resident SCs............???

I don't suppose you know that cat urine is lethal to humans..the urine crystallizes and remains permanent on objects..feline's piss is a way to ward off other felines in the area, [as it is for other animals], sending them a message of territory.....so many ppl have cats, yet they are engulfing the crystals of urine from them every day without knowing the end results.. ..But for those who insist on having Cats...... http://www.remove-cat-urine.com/cat-urine-...-directory.html ..

thanks m8..I'll give it a shot..it might just work for the half starved browns we have in the Bow, come the summer evenings.

A long time ago a gentleman who encouraged me to dive into the world of fly fishing/fly tying made me one of his special whip finishers..actually two but one recently broke, however, here is a pic of it.. it is made in a silver pen .. ..since I needed a long one , to use when making certain flies, I scanned around, and came up with almost the same design as my teacher...'The Griffin'.. ..came the closest.

like that brown one m8...like to throw up a tying pattern for it with materials?

This a Fishy's Hopper...... .. Materials.. Hook : Daiichi 1560 #12 Body : consists of two coloured foam glued together..[Dark up top Lighter underneath]..in this case Green. Legs : sili black/white Belly : epoxy [to seal the foam on the hook], [eyes],[re-enforce the legs at joints],[antenna] Thread : green/or yellow 6/0 Antenna : African Anteater body fur Eyes : prism stick on eyes

As well as being the 'World Leader' in 'Bleeding Hearts', in being a 'government' who allows outsiders [immigrants] to change the way things are to suit their pathetic ways, ... what happen to the saying that says it all.."When in Rome..do as the Romans do"!! ..as far as saving the isle of Haiti, just remember all the lives that were lost by this country of Canada during the fighting that went on in there..."Least we Forget"! Is it NOT written : "God helps those that Helps themselves first!"

is there are $5.00 coupon being given out by this forum for the expo this year????

one method of ..removing the odor off your hands which work very good by the way is to rub ceder or pine, spruce needles between ur hands, this works...give it a try. The natural acid from these trees counter acts that tell tale foul odor from smokes, any fish can detect that odor, remember their senses are acute.

here you might find this very interesting.... http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digital-ca...ew_roundup.html ...Wolfie

hahaaa...you guys who don't know the first thing about 'Centre Pin' fishing are a bloody hoot!..just because someone can out fish your sorry asses, you think he is the a**hole, where as it is you.. who are soooo intelligent to voice ur opinions without any knowledge of the method or the guy using it....I sure would like any of you to step beside me while I'm using my Pin on the river and say something to me...some of you have met me and believe me, now that would really be a hoot...and as far as "unscented pink worms " are concern....you can't buy any in this province cause nobody is smart enough to import them and sell them...I use/have them, and I defy any of the boys to say I can't use them.. ..that gentleman has taken a 28 1/2" brown at FC, with his method, [Czech nymphing]...what have you caught..hahaa..little 20" er's..yep this forum is a good laugh, all these wannabes who think they are so much better than everyone else, who like to spread the manure around after they go fishing..not saying everyone is like that ...but hell..if the shoe fits...wear it! ..................Wolfie

you have posted a place to go to for the material/how to pattern for the Squid Bitch...but going there only shows pics...when are you going to post the how to pattern?
