Well done!!

Question for those of you tying in the orange thread behind the bead. Do you use orange thread for the whole fly and cover the thread up well with the black 'material' and then expose orange thread near the bead? And does the orange thread represent gills? (that was 2 questions). Thank you!

No on the seeds - I stick with my farmers market starts. I know that seeds are cheaper but I love the stuff I get from my farmers. My garlic is doing well and is such a fun crop that comes up in December for July harvest. I am digging up my asparagus to make room for more tomatoes. The...

Damn Shawn, I thought the BL stands for BLob but it stands for BLack......... ;)

There is a symbiotic relationship between morels and Ponderosa pines so your Okanogan place is in the zone. Post wild fire zones are good as are places with recent logging operations. I don't know if it is the fire action specifically but places where the ground has been turned up have been...

@Billy Ok, I kinda knew mine was a lame question. But judging from the 20 some pages of hooks in my latest tying catalog, I am sure that we could make a killing with that sales pitch!! I will work on a lil jingle that will stick in everyone's head...... :giggle:

What is your hook suggestion for blobs? Thank you.

More of a Thanksgiving movie - Home for the Holidays (doh corrected) with Holly Hunter and Rbt Downey Jr. Family dysfunction at it's funniest.

@Evan B Same with my Mom back in the day - margarine was supposed to be better than sliced bread. ugh - I think the only thing appealing about it was the tub and spreadability. Which for a working mom with 4 kids was likely a cool thing. My go to bread toppers are a bit of good butter and a...

Lovely offer Paul. I too have received Paul's gifty flies in previous years. I think of him every time I see one in my fly box. Pulled in some nice fish with them!

Dave was 87 and had a fantastic run. Life well lived! RIP

@Triploidjunkie I would recognize the fish n chips or tacos but what species is this - walleye? It's a nice one!

Agree, just tragic. 4 in a canoe seems a bit much but tragic all the same. Sending peace to the family.

The old Gardiner Road is schedule to open on Nov 1. This is the new route from Gardiner to Mammoth. Does this mean that this opens the route to the Lamar and Cooke City? That is what I understand from the websites. It sounds like the route to Cooke will be open but with some construction...

I had a FlyBill sighting in mid Sept. We were both gassing up in Cle Elum, headed out on respective fishing trips. I don't actually know Bill but judging from the ff sticker covered rig and his FlyBill plates it was him. He scooted out before I had a chance to introduce myself. Looked like...

I would love to join but have work commitments that day. Would like to meet some of the Oly and area members! Thanks for putting this together and I look forward to the next one!

I purchased and have used the Noco Genius 1. So far works as expected - works great. It is slow to bring my 6Vs up to a full charge - at least 24 hours but in my case I am not in a hurry just trying to maintain my batteries. 30 bucks for my junior Genius seems like a no brainier to keep my...

Thanks LP. Great advice and yes I will isolate and charge. Appreciate the tips! 10 + years, wow you take good care of 'em!

Yep, using 2 6 V batteries to get 12V. Thank you for the reply.

Not Italian - but Andina for Peruvian food is a top notch BOMB! First hand been there!
