Consider tying them with wire - adds a little weight, increases durability, and a little bit of sparkle.

It's pretty good, smoother and not as "dark" tasting as the bean appearance suggests. Actually my second roast, first was lighter. Decided to give it a little more time for fun. Hit 2nd crack a lot faster than I thought though based on the first roast. Popper gets hot fast, and will be ambient...

Well, I’m in.

Fantastic first fly. As mentioned, the classics are a good start (gold ribbed hares ear, pheasant tail nymph, wooly bugger, zebra midge). Definitely look for books. You’ll see techniques broken down and I just like looking through for different things to tie. There are great YouTube...

Oh boy - so many thoughts about to drop. I've built my arsenal on the cheap. Here's what I work with: Weber Pros: it hasn't changed ever for a reason. Just throw in some wood chips (soak, put them in a foil packet and poke holes in it) and you'll get smoke. Simple to use and cooks relatively...

Some cormorant variants. Left the wing(?) on the long side but that’s an easy fix on the water if needed.

Winner! Pulled the boat out of the water, winched it up and saw the Y bumper had fallen off at some point. Easy $4 replacement. Also, yes the winch rope needs replacing, etc.

I know what I will be doing.

Ha! I scrolled down too fast and thought the rump was an enormous fly for a second.

Gill Candy is a great fly. I tie in green and in purple (with Guinea hen for hackle)

Yeah, I’ll probably give these a shot on a lake as well, though my chironomid game isn’t strong.

Very good question! Probably hit a smaller river in the Cascades, dropped under something, maybe behind a soft hackle or they may work under a small dry. I did a few quill body dries a week or so again but smallest was an 18 so that doesn’t count for this thread

Just did these size 20s yesterday

Just threw together a little something to get a few repairs done
