Steve,
Do you utilize a CB Radio in your boat?
If so, what is your "Handle"?

Schmegma,

I sure like your name and your willingness to stand openly behind your critique! Very grown up.

And yes, this is a Brassie! The article is about the Copper Joe, and this caption is definitely not right. My bad! Read the article and you will see Brassie mentioned several times - one place with the words "It becomes in effect a Brassie with a bead.". I have added that to the headline.

Not much new under the sun, neither regarding fly tying nor regarding anonymous comments...

Great article , fun to read, I liked it a lot.
Great tying skills also. (And the eagle and the rabbit are fun too).

Best regards ,

Tom.

Bob, I am a huge fan. This is a beautiful fly. The body work and wing placement are exquisite! Very nicely tied! Maybe one of these days I will be able to tye ALMOST as good as you. :-)

Hi,

I am pleased to announce that my new short video 'AGAINST THE TIDE' is now finished, and is available to view here.

'AGAINST THE TIDE' is a short video filmed with the support of Orvis, shot along the Hampshire coast, UK.

I hope you enjoy it, and I have a number of other projects I will be working on this year!

Many thanks,
Matt

Gary, you mention Rick MacDonald. Would you have a photo or illustration of his shrimp streamer atlantic salmon fly? It sounds like it would be a great Fall run fly and I'd like to tie up a few for the Mirimachi river later this year.
Thanks,
Peter

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
