Article Charlie's Bead Head Scud Jun 15. 1997 Bead A simple and good looking scud pattern from Charles Garwood.	Article Charlie's Phesant Tail Nymph Jun 6. 1997 Extended The Pheasant tail nymph is a true classic. The original was tied by Frank Sawyer using only copper thread and phesant tail fibers. This pattern has been elaborated a bit by Charles A.Garwood from North Carolina, and uses peacock herl for the abdomen and regular tying thread.	Article Foam flies for panfish Apr 15. 1997 Funny flies I purchased a copy of Skip Morris' book on tying flys for bass and panfish and another of his books on foam flies. His books are excellent and I recommend them above all others for beginning tyers. The pictures and instructions are superb!
Article Charlie's Prince Nymph Feb 16. 1997 Flash This fly was inspired by the original Prince Nymph, but modified by Charles Garwood of North Carolina for an easier tie and more visibility. Says Charlie: "The prince nymph has been with us for a long time! I've simply added flashabou because I found it enhances attraction and because I find it slightly easier to tie than white goose biots. Plus it eliminates the gold braid too. It just simplifies the pattern"

But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
