Congrats monger, You'll be swingeing intruders next. Love swinging the Spey.

If you are new to tying you might want to start with something straight forward like buggers. Some beads for the head, Chenille and saddle hackle for the body and Marabou for the tail will get you started. There are lots of patterns out there with lots of different materials. In addition some pheasant tail tinsel and a variety of dubbing is a good start. A visit to a reputable fly shot (not a box store) will get you started. Its a bit of a loaded queston as there are a lot of different patterns out there.

I can feel for him, had a few things go missing over the years.

beauty nymph NoSlack, love the mized dubbing, is it commercial or homebrew? I've used fine rubber legs in my dubbing mix before with great results.

Blinking yellow lights on any router means its time to swing flies.

By the way hackle just brushes out of the way on a strike. I have fished "Skater" flies with 2" hackle with no problem with strikes.

I'm not a geek either but did you reset the default username and password before you put it into service? Some one may be using your service bumping you off.

Beautiful little darling.

Yippie, thanks guys about time I got something for free from the government.

Nice little film. Watch it in HD http://vimeo.com/56929441#

Too cool

The Sportfishing regulations are now online. Don't forget to carefully read the rules for the areas you fish. http://mywildalberta.com/Fishing/Reg...tions-2013.pdf

Congratulations on the safe arrival of your newest family member!

Congratulatons Murray.

Beauty intruders

Always a good idea to have pictrues and serial numbers of you gear. Learned that the hard way.

I have to mention here that in fact indicator setups are usually diferent for lakes and moving waters.

I feel for ya, was hit a few years back and last year lost my pontoon to sticky fingers.

I wonder if its the brand of chenille. You might want to strengthen the tie in points front and back with a bit of head cement or zap a gap. Weird how its stripping the fibers at the tie in points.

Cool Idea

Actually you read my mind, I was thinking of tying some up and was short on yellow deer hair, just picked up a dyed tail today.

Interesting concept, let us know how it works

I was taught to fly fish fish in the early 60’s by Dad and my Grandpa using a floating or sinking line depending on the water depth and conditions. Back then there where no indicators and single fly was the rule. It really taught you to keep a tight line and stay in contact with the fly. You needed to develop a feel and a bit of a sixth sense. It still is indicator fishing as you are often watching your fly line tip. Times do change, and so do techniques. I find a lot of people I see on the water have a method of fishing that they are comfortable in catch fish and don’t stray a lot, and that’s great. I occasionally use an indicator, especially in very deep water where a natural drift will not work. They make it easier to watch for strikes especially if you are unfamiliar with classic nymphing techniques, or some of the newer Czech or polish nymphing standards (that are no more than the classic techniques revisited). It’s a great way to get people into fly-fishing and gives you a nice visual focus. I find more sensitivity fishing without one gives me a more natural pretension, but it’s harder and does take practice to get the drift right, it’s not for the impatient. As far as indicators go the thingamabobber is the nicest although the often overlooked humble yarn indicator is more sensitive especially for smaller streams, its more like fishing a huge dry fly. By the way I once stood on a bridge over the Bow river looking at several fly fishermen drifting nymphs under big indicators and watching the Trout swim aside as the indicator drifted over them. Food for thought, fish do learn. I love to fish, whether is throwing a delicate dry fly with a classic bamboo rod, Lake fishing for rainbows with one for my modern sticks, swinging a big Intruder with my Spey rod or chasing Lake Trout and Pike with big streamers. I am a purest, a pure fisherman.
