I think I came to this list via the FFF. Admittedly, I haven't been
participating as much either on the list or @ my fly desk. Hopefully, that
will change in the new year.

Hi All;
Do the generic nymph patterns, such as Pheasant Tail Nymph(PTN), Gold ribbed
Hares ear(GRHE), or Red fox squirrel nymph(RFSN). Prince Nymph, etc. Imitate
almost any nymph or, is each type of generic nymph suited to different species?
Thanks in advance;

My thinking is that PTN's imitate mayfly nymphs, the hares ear can be tied
ti imitate anything. To be honest, it depends how you tye the fly.

For the last month I have been tying up wooly buggers in different styles.
First I experimented using Chinese Crystal beads I found at the craft store, (I
posted a picture of some of them). Then I tied up a bunch of buggers Chili

Hi Tony,
lol,.. you know, I like single foot guides on lighter rods. Less weight
from the guides themselves, less wraps, and I feel, that I have more
control in the forecast.
For the color, well. Black has less light reflection that silver ones.
And I'm sure black guides are less visible to the

Tony,
It is a personal thing, I just don't like them. I guess I was weened on Snake
Guides.
Another thing. if not wrapped right, they will slip out from the wrap. Again we
do what we want to do and what pleases us.

I made one rod with single foot guides quite a few years back (okay,

Not to be a smart butt, they were not wrapped right.

The key to wrapping single foot guides is to start the wrap on the blank,
then wrap the thread over the guide foot and then place a small number of
wraps (3-4) immediately behind the foot and the guide. This helps to lock it
in place. Then coat the wrap with whatever finish you are using and one
It is a pain in the butt if you don't like them. If you like them then it is
