I tie them with Green, Orange, and Black thread colors. Many times when the "normal" Orange is not productive, the green and/or black will do the job

Ants cast to the bank and into the undercut if possible. Ants are something that fish see all the time and can be a very productive fly

I have trouble reading and am lexdysic

I have never owned a DB and probably never will. I have been in dozens of the craft over the years when I was on guided floats both solo and with a partner Having observed the guides it is my opinion that the most important factor in choosing a boat is the ease at which it can be recovered back...

I am not a fan of feeding wild animals (I do have bird feeders), but this is an interesting story and a lot of people seem to like the "cuteness". Deer feeding is legal in Maine during the winter months, but baiting for the purpose of hunting is not...

The best use of AI is stuff like the image below (that's why they call them rock stars) A very old photo showing Willie Nelson and Keith Richards building a pyramid

This is elitism:

I'm positive that I will fall in the water at least once a season

This is a link to a story about an organization that I have never heard of (International Assoc. of Theo. Roosevelt) promoting the idea that there should be no restricted fishing areas (i.e. fly fishing only). The group’s argument is that most fly fishermen are wealthy, ergo, regular people are...

My local TU chapter has about 400 members. If 12 actually show up for a meeting, that is a big crowd. The local Fly Fishing Association meetings are better attended with 25-50 people coming as the meetings are held in a pub and one can purchase food and/or adult beverages. The caveat to those...

I have a 14ft Sportspal aluminum (Radisson) canoe. It weighs 38 pounds and has a 750lb capacity. Very wide beam and very stable in the water, allegedly "can't" tip with sponsons. It is easy to cartop. I put it on/off the top of my Tacoma without difficulty. When it gets to the point where I...

More time in the canoe on lakes/ponds instead of river fishing More "careful" wading and avoidance of really slippery locales Less "spontaneous" trips. No tent camping, opt for cabin if at all possible Remember to always bring "pee" bottle for night use so I don't have to walk to bathhouse

I had to look up what OCA is. Never heard of it before. I hope it tastes better than it looks!

Unfortunately, every year I seem to have a new favorite to tie. That is why I have enough flies for at least 6 lifetimes.

I would nominate a Woolybugger. You can use one, or a hundred and one different materials to make the fly.
