Nice ties and you tie weed guards on them all!! You just posted all my favorite Delta flies SP

I have had issues with brassie breaking flat waxed nylon. I always used a thread like GSP or Gudebrod GX-2 for my Bass flies. Kevlar is too bulky for my taste. For muddlers and Goddard caddis I used...

Nice bug, see you at the Pleasanton show!!!!

I too agree, I enjoy getting the materials together and carving and sanding the bodies. I work for about 4 doz balsa poppers a year. This year I have do some more. There is sometime "Old School"...

I love fishing Leo's style Poppers and I just use spray paint from OSH and coat them with Flex-coat. They last 6 or 7 fish or a few hits on the rip-rap. Green and yellow is the hot ticket. Steve

I looked down at the Tiers Row at the Pleasanton Fly Fishing Show and observed alot of Regal vises. There were a like number of NorVises. with Dyna King and others sprinkled in.
These guys that...

I had the same problem but my hooks inbedded in the sheet rock in my tying room wall. I fixed the problem by replacing the jaws and buying another vise with midge jaws. Most of my fly tying is in...

My favorites are 1. Bluegill Boogie by the Dorados
2. Papa was a Fishin Man also by the Dorados.
3. Little Bitch Creek by Greg Keeler

My favorite Hopper pattern is a rubber legged Simulator #8 to #6, easy to tie and they work great My 2 cents

Jay
You might get that 100# rooster with that long rod on the beach. Good luck in Baja !!!!!

Mike

You like this diver? I tie them the same way with a overhand knot. Have not lost much rubber to the fish but the razor has a few!!!!

See you on the delta
Steve

Hairstacker-

That will do the job on the water, nice work with the hair and the camera!!!

Steve

I like the Rite bobbins for hair and saltwater flies, and have a dozen or more Frank Matarelli stainless steel types for trout and panfish. I think the simple spring kind is best for learning the...

I'm going down in Aug this year, hope the action is as good. It sounds like a fun time.
The wind blew us out of the water today in the Delta.
Keep up the good reports!!!!!!

To one Stacker from another-
Nice deerhair work. I'm working on some divers for the South Delta, The bite is getting better and better every day. Love that topwater bass.
Steve

I discovered my wife paper cutting scissors work better than my best hair cutters (Solingen-$60) and she buys them at Staples or Longs, I could not fine a name on the set but they are stainlees. They...

Lee-

You got me thinking about a Crow Fly? Hummingbird wings dont hold up over two or three bass, I'll come up with something! Thanks for the ideal.

Steve

Nice material for bait fish, I watched Enrico P. tie a few killer patterns with his EP fibers at the Pleasanton Show. I like the flash that Farrar incorperates in the fibers a little better. my 2...

If Bill doesn't have it, Ron Lewis @ Sierra Stream and Mountain will @1-800-343-1333. He's up in Chico. Hope this helps. Its makes the best wiggle tail wets around. my 2 cents

Now that's what it's all about!! Breaking in on top water!! It doesn't get any better.Great job
Steve

Jay-
I'll be down there at the end of the month for a week. I have to score a Rooster this trip. Hope the wind is down. Are you still having good fishing with the bubble popper? What has been your...

Hi Jay

I like to use TYGer wire loops for my stingers. After the fly is complete I put the hook in place by pinching the loop through the eye and over the hook point. They still have a habit of...
