I use the dub for all my nymphs cuz i hate working with the real stuff. I find that using herl for dries (ex/ gnats) makes it look alot better. If you find the herl breaking you can wrap it around your thread to make it stronger. my .02

hahaha ya you guessed it..

thanks to the posting on another thread about different sites, found another way to use up my stash of rabbit strips...

Tail: Brown Partridge feather fibers Body: olive-gray dubbing blend (also tie in olive-rust ice dub blend) Rib: Mono Thorax: 2 CDC WIng: Brown Partridge feather fibers

Here's some versions I tie. Sorry for the bad photos. Don't make mine look as fancy as your guys' but they seem to do the trick Red pt w/ red or black wire Purple pt w/ black or gold wire Green pt w/ Chartreuse wire (this one worked extremely well pre-runoff/runoff in sz 12!)

nice ties bud. thanks for the heads up about the stoneclinger. more of a "not go to school and do anything fishing related" binge....

for only 5,500$ you can catch these....puts jurassic lake to shame.. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...n-mongolia.html

Have gone through two pairs of those boots this summer. not a fan of them, but they are cheap...

I found the hardest part about tying is having the confidence to use what I tied. I thought all mine were garbage...one day just took the flies I tied to the river and no others, and managed to catch a couple on them! Next time I sat down to tie, and wasn't as worried about the quality of them, and my skills increased ten fold with the new found confidence. Let us know how it works out for you. The people on this site are great, and can hopefully help you out if needed. Cheers, Mitch

Found these all over the place this summer. Anyone have a pattern they know of to resemble it?? Thanks.

ya, i was just trying to make a point how everyone seems to be fishin still and the shack nasties haven't hit yet.

Even with the competition...wanted 20, got 6. poll's been viewed nearly 200 times....maybe 20 votes. Hopefully things will pick up, its a great idea!

are the participants allowed to vote???

the last bag i bought are garbage too. cant even use them

sorry flytyer...i know i kinda messed the order of the tying steps up...was just about to pick someone other than bhurt but you beat me to it!

thanks fisherwoman. sorry have no idea to help out with your questions

as an added question. I may be able to get some hair from some hunters....how would you treat it to get rid of the bugs? also how can you die the hairs?

passed onto Bhurt. PM sent.

IF you don't mind me asking, what are the flies going towards? I try to get out to as many ALS events as I can, as it has personally affected me, and am quite interested. Thanks
