Barry, I definitely like this pattern. I bet it will even work on Bass! All of the major fish attracting colors in one package. A working man's streamer!

Thanks Joel,it seems to work for just about anything

Fishing with this fl

Fishing with this fly is the same to tie a christmas tree in the leader......

Nice fly,I tye a sim

Nice fly,I tye a similar pattern for salmon/winter stellies in orange,or pink,I cover the body with clear cure goo thin to help protect the body,& make a more durable fly,tight lines,& bent rods.

Great flies Ramiro,

Great flies Ramiro, they look very good with all that glitter and shine.
When I see the pictures of all the different species , I think that those flies are pretty good !
For sure I am going to tie some, maybe this afternoon, because at the moment of writing this, it is snowing outside my door here in Holland and the world is totally white !

Best regards,

Tom.

Kevin,

You have m

Kevin,

You have me confused here!
You ask "What line would I use to connect a 9 weight shooting head line?"

Line to connect what? The shooting line and shooting head connect to each other. Nothing else needed.
And "shooting head line"? Is that a shooting head or a shooting line? It can't be both...

If you are asking what line to use as a shooting line for a 9 wt. shooting head, that's exactly what the article is about. It goes through all the types, and they can all be used for a 9 wt. shooting head. What to use is up to your taste and wallet.

I teach Machining at a College and my students are looking at building fly reels. I would like to ask is there a place where we could find blueprints on the reels? We really like your design

Thanks for a great article

Thanks for a great article on washing you feathers and such , i have noticed the oily smell from one of my saddle caps that i have purchased so i will give it a try and wash it up.

An absolutely brilliant piece of work

Yes, well, what can one say! An absolutely brilliant piece of work; I am envious of all you portray in the lovely photographs of an area on the other side of the world. Congratulations!

Comment to #6-2013 - Scott Special tied by Marcelo

i like the wool body with the rib the most about this fly, it really adds some depth to this fly, well done

John,

I might not

John,

I might not be native English speaking, but as far as I know it seems to be a tie between vice and vise:

Vice - variant of vise
Main Entry: clamp
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: fastener
Synonyms: bracket, catch, clasp, grip, hold, lock, nipper, press, snap

You can prefer vise to avoid misunderstandings, but it's definitely fully OK to call a clamp for fly tying for a vice.
