No such colour that i have seen. I have i think all the colours of super hair, unique hair and streamer hair. The only difference between them is the thickness of the fibres. There is a brown colour but i would not call it dark brown. I think this colour might have been in the Unique Hair brand. Th...

There was some stuff posted on one of the New Zealand forums about these rods.

Not all of it good, and for the price of them i would want everything to be perfect.

Very nice.

The Geehi has been one of my favourites on the streams here for a long time. Fish will come a long way to eat that even when they are not rising for insects.

I will have to give your variant a try.

LT's are quick enough in deep water. I can only imagine how fast it was going trying to get out of those shallows. You are having a great trip up there Pete. With all the marlin and longtail around in the shallows in that area there can't be many places anywhere else in the world that compare. You ...

Depends how broad a feather you want. Some of the Whiting Farms Herbert Miner hen capes might be suitable. The small feathers you would normally use for #20's and smaller are probably too fine in the tip but a larger feather stripped down would give you a nice broad wing on a small dry. Nice fine s...

I use a chernobyl ant for an indicator with a nymph underneath. If i want a movable indicator either greasy sheep wool or Fish Pimps indicators.

and I wondered whether this was down to the fact that heron, specifically herl from the primary and secondary feathers (the main flight feathers of the wing) is hardly used in trout flies these days.

I would say that.... As long as the line laying upstream of you on the water is not travelling downstream faster than the water is moving when you begin your forward cast i would call it a static roll cast. Static or dynamic? With pause or without pause? I am talking about a static roll cast with a...

I did some casting just yesterday, those are the observations: - static roll cast either upstream, down stream,side ways can not be done as the line is always on the move with the current, so we can not have static ancor. ( different on the calm lake) As long as the line is not being slid across th...

Whether someone is guilty or not they had a set of rules to follow to determine how these matters should be handled. To me it does not look like they followed their own rules. Blackwater, I find your post very refreshing, specially taking into account what you wrote on post 223 : I still feel the s...

I waited hoping the FFF would give a reasonable explanation of why this has happened the way it has. Why it looks like the FFF has made up the rules to suit as they needed them but nothing has come of the questions people have asked. Whether someone is guilty or not they had a set of rules to follo...

ANd if none of that works get someone else to tie them :O

Or If you don't want to fold the flash over use a tension wrap. Cut the flash to the length you want. Put the flash against the hook shank side closest to you and towards the underside. As you make one single wrap use the thread tension to push the flash up and around the hook shank. You will need ...
