I've submitted 2 pictures, pretty good ones I'd say compared to many and am wondering why no votes or average scores when others appear to have better results. Is this a club where "I'll vote for yours if you vote for mine?

Just curious.

It does look pretty great. Duane Vigue has a ton of patterns that used to be posted on his site, but most are gone now. They are all a little tough to tie as well because of the materials and colors usually called for. Some wonderful looking smelts and attractors in there.

Thank You for a very informative site the content of the Fly Tying Videos is excellent, full of techniques and thread control coupled with some very good material control.

Have you tried the double grinner? I'ts very bulky if you don't strip off the fly line coating, and then all most impossible to pull down at the coated and uncoated juncture. If I was going to use the loop system I'd just go with the new molded loop flylines. My concern with a loop to loop system is the leader material cutting through the loop.

I have an old wine cabinet that I put all my hackle and such in. Close the door and it doesn't look like I'm ready for a yard sale. But then you do have to get lucky and be there when someone put one out for the trash.

Sort of like a double grinner knot. i find it easier to make my own loops using thread and superglue, then a rubber glue.

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.
