I'm with you on this one. I use golden pheasant tail for these which results in a tan body. I have had much luck on them also.

It's nice to see someone actually get caught once in a while. Thanks for calling these jackasses in.

Usually when I'm practicing. I rarely cast that far when I'm fishing.

Hey fellas. I have a question that I havnt seen answered before (I searched the old site). Now that I am comfortable throwing all my fly line I am able to even shoot a bit of backing on really long casts. My question is, does the backing have the potential to wear down the snakes (guides)? We all know the flyline is coated with super duper slip stuff but backing is rather coarse, or at least mine is. Any thought about this? Is there special backing you can buy just for this? Cheers

I was expecting you to finish that paragraph with "After the third pair I got a new dog". LOL

I would like to ask you expert tiers where the best place to buy materials are? I am planning on hitting Calgary on Saturday to round up some mats for a CDC caddis dry pattern, golden stone and a Clouser minnow. Is there any one place where I wont have trouble finding every thing I need? Any help here would be appreciated. Cheers!

Thanks for the post. I'm always interested in hearing what Jim has to say about our beloved Bow.

I saw a duck tape stone fly posted somewhere.

Thanks for posting these pictures guys. Nature is truly a majestic and magical thing.

I think I'll pick some Maui's up before this weekend. I need to replace the crappy old ones I have now. Oh, and country pleasures sells them also.
