oliver edwards tied up a few caddis larvae that were deadly! i will whip up a tutorial!!! time consuming but a epic fly pattern forsure!~

i like tungstens idea.. kinda what i do with beeds, cones, tubes too! get a assembly line goin.. attach them too teh hooks u plan to use paint them while on your vice then hang em from a piece of styrafoam or even a old flybox stood upright...

ive just bin using a long thin sewing pin or needle for my extended body work.. any link too the tools?

that is a common theme on alot of fishing shows dude.. totally unreal.. the biggest thing that bugs me about fishing show and some magazines is alot of people see this and figure "because the pros do it its alright" and that is how some anglers get bad fish handling habits..

do some research on the forum dude.. tons of good topics started on having more success on fishing teh bow.. with nymphs i find most people are doing only a few things wrong.. propper mending is key, same with quick strikes and moving through the run covering as much water as possible.. depth can be a issue aswell but if you getting down and bringing up some debri every few casts or so u are in the right place forsure! a juan and a few smal beedheads should produce for you.. so my guess is in your mending and striking.. as for dries.. unless there is a good hatch its hard too bring fish up off bottom too strike.. the visability in teh bow is hard for fish too see whats on top onless they are already there feeding on the hatch/egglaying bugs... streamers is all about covering ground.. u are looking for active fish.. i find the biggest flaw in most people when streamer fishing is not covering enough water looking for those aggressive fish..

sorry for he confusion.. he first fly is bezz, second is, journeyman carpenter, third (small photo) is tightline

that is one pretty cool bow!

hey robert i fish the bow year round.. so do others! there are alot of places if freezes over but within th city u have cose too 10 miles of river that dosnt.. there are iceshelves tho so it can be sketchy.. and if th weather drops below -5 for a few days slush builds up and makes peticular spots hard too fish but inside bends bridge pillars etc will ovver u driftlanes too fish.. and if te weather get above 0 for a few days or we get 1 good day of +4 or 5 the river will be slush free for a day or two atleast! so u can wet a line anywere on that south city stretch! so bring your rod and keep a eye out on here for conditions and watch teh weather!!!!!

that is pretty good!

the magic number for a similar switch rod i fish is in teh 300 - 340 grain window.. a compact scandi head would be great! or a skagit short if u want too turn over larger streamers and tips.. what are you plannin on using the rod for would be the biggest question?

i think like u mentioned attacking the retailers would be a more efficient way of doing things.. making it harder for people oto buy illegal products if bans or controls were put in place... like u said tho its easier said than done..... i think more than residential people would be the bigger problemo.. commercial places.. city fields (if they use anyhting im not sure) golf courses would be #1 for me....
