Have you tried flex coat rod building epoxy lately? I used to coat all my foam poppers/floating clousers (and even the belly and thread at the head of sinking clousers). I got away from tying a lot of those for a while but started again recently and went to use the RBE and it seems that they...

Good info and thanks for sharing! I have some other flex UV product and was not a fan of using it due to the long cure times like you stated (but I don’t have the nail light). Sounds like you got that issue sorted out.

A dyed feather coloration compared to the original and it was used on the body for these tan and yellow dungeons.

Tied some more dungeons and am trying my hand at lightening some more feathers (inspiration from @Scottp .. thanks agin!)

A few med sized dungeons. Gotta do black ones next. Been fortunate lately to have decent chunks of time to tie.

Tequeely jig euro buggers.

I’m ok with music on the boat, sometimes, but not all the time. Wading I never have music. I like natures soundtrack mostly (even if I hear cars or people). I really dislike hearing other people’s music on the water. At lunch I like having music, especially if we are grilling

this but to elaborate - the older uv resins were fairly thick so the UV never penetrated the thread so it was def just a coating. The newer resins seem to be better but still not as effective as a liquid glue to bond things together. But I do use 3 types of super glue (zap thin, zap, and...

The front hook is a 30deg streamer hook and the head is asymmetrical (see pic, flat on one side and curved on the other). Supposed to give it that erratic xrap/floating rapala type action and dart, wiggle and pop up. Also it’s tied “sideways” so the hook if off to the right in the pic. Galloup...

Thanks!! These will be for trout and smallmouth. That ~5” size is a good length for them in the spring on the bigger rivers I fish.

One more bright one. Plan to fish these in the spring but hopefully sooner. Edit. Added pic of a gray and white one. Now onto something else. Was trying hard to keep the colors separated too and bottom… didn’t quite get there but they are fishable.

A couple of swimmy jimmys (sans eyes but will fix that). The first is kinda prom dress-ish… haven’t tried one with a lot of flash but like the idea for an aggressive moving fly

Good thread thanks for the suggestions. Tried a rechargeable one a few years back and it didn’t work, used the disposable and never got around to getting a replacement. Will need to pick one up, thanks.

This old fly caught me this fella. Been too long since I’ve gotten a good one, was pumped.

Very generous and much appreciated! Yes - please pm or post to the thread and I’ll send along to the next person

How do you like the BS’s? I tied a couple but haven’t fished em enough to form an opinion

Not the most popular opinion but my orvis pro have been good to me

Bwo klinks in size 20 and finished another cork popper

Big fan f the simms guide jacket. The cuffs keep my wrists dry. others without the neoprene inner cuff and an overcuff let water in at the wrist, drives me nuts.

I’ve been refilling the 1# greenies for a while. Yes I’ve had them leak but usually it’s pretty obvious fairly quickly (between the noise and the smell). When they leak, I set them outside til empty and then pitch em. I also am only using these for camp stoves and the like so not in a van or...
