I know that you are not a Veteran, but take solace in knowing this is
exactly the sort of thing Project Healing Waters does all the time. The
road to recovery may be long and painful but you already have a leg up on
the situation by having a hobby such as this to help the healing process.
Consider water marking your photos with your website or company name and
copyright year. I was always told that in the world of flies you can
copyright a fly by name but not really patent one. All it would take is
someone to change one material or change the quantity or size in a material
used.

Another thing to keep in mind if you are watching what a spool costs is
that some spools have less yards than you think. Personally I like the

Glad to hear they found the problem. When you get off the antibiotics, look
into probiotics. Antibiotics are way over prescribed and as a society if we
don't change that soon we are probably in for some very bad ailments. They
have a drug resistant Tuberculosis that is spreading here in the U.S.
FYI Hook and Hackle is offering free shipping today. I doubt they have any

You are better off finding a population of them and bring your pellet

Don,
Out here in the mid-Atlantic states this fly is very much a match the hatch
kind of thing. It is the earliest terrestrial to come out each year. I have
my best luck using this fly unweighted and greased with floatant on a fine
tippet. They tend to lower themselves right into the water and
Wapsi also makes this. It comes in a package that resembles a match book.
But I have only received them as samples. I have never seen them in a fly
shop.
I have never seen the veniards lead either. It may be a European/Canadian
thing. I am fortunate that I don't have to do mail order for most of

Some mistakes are just too much fun to make only once.

Just make sure that embroidery thread isn't cotton. You will probably have
to use something like Danville, Uni, or Wapsi (UTC) 210 denier since

Gudebrod was polyester, which is why they were drastically different than

The reason Wayne is probably asking is because the Mid Atlantic Region is

Oh no. Dail was such a wonderful guy. Please pass my condolences to his
family. Was he at this last Sowbug? I thought he was.

They are destructive to trout reds I will tell you that. Carp can live in
just about any kind of water, including the clean cold water needed by
trout and I have watched in horror as enormous carp clean out reds from
recently spawned trout. I just don't like non-native species. Carp are
invasive
Personally I would try rare earth magnets. They will probably only latch on
to the guides since they are steel underneath (unless it has those Recoil
guides), but their gripping power is amazing. If you have any old hard
drives laying around inside lies one of the most powerful magnets you could

Tony,
That is an organization technique I picked up on in Mary Dette's fly shop.
I noticed she had the shelves lined with shoe box sized tupper ware and
each box was labeled with a pattern and presumably held all the contents
needed to tie that fly.

Suitcase? I envy your minimalist approach. I am still working out of my
seabag from my time in the Marines.

Yeah, but Scott, if your fly tying bag is like my fly tying bag, it's
bigger than my suitcase. G

More likely a 2 than a 2/0.guide sizes are the opposite of hook sizes. 2/0
is very small. A size 2 is also kind of small, but that may have been what
they used. I would venture a guess at a number 4 after the stripper guide.

Chuck,
Once they molt, they return to the water they came from. I have heard some
scientists say that they return within hundreds of feet of the water they
came from with great accuracy. What you saw alive in your lampshade was a

Since all of this talk about Hex's got me thinking how few patterns of
these you see. I used to go up to a bamboo rod makers gathering in
Grayling, Michigan that had a famous hex hatch about the end of June. I
won't make it up there this year, but I miss seeing those enormous mayflies

The Recoil guides, as novel and revolutionary as they were, just couldn't
handle that kind of stress in colder temperatures. Repeated exposure and
stress under cold temps made the guides brittle. Like Tony, I exclusively
use snake brand guides.

This is very sad news. I met Mark at the same time I first met Tony in
person up at the Catskills Bamboo Rodmakers gathering in Roscoe, NY. Mark
was a very warm and open person and he and Misa invited Tony and I over to
their house before we left town. We got a tour of their very impressive
tying
My advice is don't try to thin it, get a fresh batch. I know people try to
save things and not let things go to waste, but in this case you are
running up against something that has run its chemical course. I use
varnish mostly for bamboo rod making, but once it starts to set I get a
fresh batch.
