    Old Dry Fly Patterns

    The first dry fly that I ever tied/fished was for a Labor Day trip, during the early 70's, to the north fork of the Yuba River. I was invited by a friend and it was the first time I had ever been...
  2. Captain Andy

    Good news!! Andy is a lot more than a very good guide. In addition, he's a amazing photographer and fly designer/tyer.... :cool:
  3. Avon Raft

    Bump to top!!
  4. Squimp

    In the example I posted, the fly can be "hopped" during the retrieve similar to how Bill describes how conventional anglers retrieve their lures.

    BTW, as Woodman suggests, the "Squimp" is a very...

  10. "....Popper...."

    After viewing the video, I'm wondering if this lure has crossed over the line from fly to plug (even though cast on a fly outfit)?? I'm applying the old saying that if it looks like a spook and walks...

    Authors/books

    Tahoe w/Ladders....

    BS,.... Certainly sounds like a good idea to me. I've wondered about doing the same thing at several lakes. Probably some reason why it (casting a 2 hander from a ladder) shouldn't be done due to...

    Airheads??

    Assuming that you mean Charlies or Bisharat's Airhead, I seem to recall that they were tied on a nickel plated spinnerbait hook (round bend, longer shank and circular, straight eye). Size depends on...
