This icon of Scandin

This icon of Scandinavian fishing only reflects his technical bias in marketing now appropriate for the Loop. This modality of spey cast has become a invasive phenomenon proposed by Loop Flyfishing and that is a strategy of market to reach and tries to impose from the technics to the equipment in waters that are completely extrange to those of Patagonia. For the fishermen with ideology and knowledge of South American tradition of our surroundings, nor Anderson or Mel Krieguer, nor any other icon invented by Eurocentric or North American field means nothing! Despite the fact that there are traitors and South American worshipers of these deities invented by such holders of the market as Loop and other companies in fly fishing!

Hi

I live in Israel, I doubt I can find the:

- closed endcap
- open female-threaded endcap
- male-threaded end plug

Is someone willing to ship to me a few peaces? I will pay all expenses + a nice fee for your time.

Just reply here or pm if that is possible.

Thanks!

Having fished with Barry for 28 years, I have admired his passion for fly tying and his innovative creations.
Not only are his Streamers exquisite, but they catch trophy
Trout. Keep them coming Barry.

Great fly again Monte!

Comment to Hook Reference

I've updated the entry for the VMC and removed it from the listing. These should have been listed as Mustad B-17 hooks and not VMC B-17.

I am always in awe of the fine detail work that is necessary to create such beautiful flies.

thank you for your comments Alan and Kelly

Thank you for this h

Thank you for this hook chart! This is the first time on this site but will be back again! Great information.

I fish almost every

I fish almost every day , my rule of thumb is i start counting If i hit 15 i just snap its neck and take it home and cook it . i bend the barbs over on all my hooks and never use bait only lures , with practice and light tackle you can always hook them in a way that doesnt even draw blood , most of the fish i keep are stocked trout which i had a DEP officer explain that they most likely would die over the summer when the water gets low so enjoy a delicious source of inexpensive protein

Thanks guys. I just got back from my annual salt Water fishing trip to Florida. I visit an old High school buddy and we try to scare every fish that swims on the west coast. Sadly, they just laugh at us, and swim away. Got eaten alive by mosquitos in the everglades! and scared away by some big crocs 13-14ft. Decided we didn't want to fish that day! at least not in the 'glades. Ate some fabulous food, got a good tan, and some wonderful reminiscing about the good ole days!
Again, thanks for the kind words.
P.S. I would be glad to send you more originals if you want Darren.

I like this fly a lot Bob. The fact it has grizzly is a huge plus for me. You did a great job on this one.

Comment to #142 - Champ's Special Streamer

I like that pattern, I'd also like to see it with the Golden Pheasant crest in place of the yellow bucktail. Nice tie Bob!

UV Fly Paint

Jan,

The substance is from Loon and is called UV Fly Paint. It's available in three colors, and can be cured with a UV lamp or simply by leaving it in the sun.

The small lump will both act as a colorful strike point and keep the wing and tail from getting jammed into the hook, where it can sometimes get stuck. Simply add the substance to a number of hooks and let them dry/cure and you have them to use on all your tube flies.

Green waxy looking colour

Martin & Ken,

on some flies or better hooks you use some red or green waxy looking colour as a biting spot, what are you using for making them? Thanks in advance.

Jan
