    What's in your (PIZZA) oven?

    I'm late to the pizza party, but being a Chef for close to 35 years, I've launched a lot of pies. You can definitely do them on pans and bake in your pizza oven. When I was first starting in the kitchen I worked for a restaurant group in their commissary making pizza dough and shells for 15...

    Anyone use something like this foam elk hair caddis?

    I tie a similar pattern, but instead of poly yarn I use a CDC puff and then hackle with CDC in a dubbing loop. I also like to 'toast' the foam with a lighter, I find it floats longer. I call it a 'toasted caddis' but do not claim to be the inventor. It was always my go to fly for the foothills...

    Favorite UV Resin for Perdigons?

    Gulff 'Thinman' for me, I've had reactions to other UV resins, and the Gulff products don't bother me. The Thinman flows nicely for patterns like Perdigons and Chroni's. Colin

    What's in your vise?

    I have been using Beadalon wire for years.( 30ft .018in. 19 strand coated stainless steel). Stiff enough to prevent fouling, flexible enough to easily change out a hook if needed. And cheap compared to Senyo's

    What's in your vise?

    What is under the flexo tubing? I like the effect, I've been putting a ball of hot orange dubbing between the dumbell eyes, but yours look great.

    Wax sticks

    I bought a toilet wax ring about 10 years ago and still have about 3/4 of it left, not a bad $5 investment. I just melt a chunk of it and pour it into my old Overtons dispenser.
