Re: Starling and Purple
Purple is the color of evil; ...I gave all of mine to Dana.

Re: Melanistic Hen Pheasant
Don't leave this one unguarded! Better yet, don't take it to any shows. Now, start tying! Tell Chase Trout says hi.

Re: a Trout Nightmare
Those lumo beads take me back in time. There used to be a handful of old French dudes up here who only ice fished. All they wanted was big cusk, nothing else. They'd fill an onion bag with a couple cans of cat and/or dog food with holes punched in the top and bottoms, and then in another onion bag, ...

Re: Not a Flymph...
I have a serious desire to drop one of those down about 100', run it behind a cannonball and try and hook up with a 20lb. togue this summer.

Re: Gosling attempt
I actually like your variant better than the original. I seem to get some tippet twist with those flies with palmered cock hackle on the body. I'm going to use your pattern and see if I can tempt some brookies out of some local ponds. I think I have some seal that will do just fine for the body. I ...

Re: Gosling attempt
Thanks guys. Ron, that definitely could be. I basically just too the recipe for this fly from Hans Weilenmann who did a video of it. I thought I may be able to use it effectively in some ponds I fish. I actually like your variant better than the original. I seem to get some tippet twist with those ...

Re: Golden Brown
I'm too old to wrassle with bulls anymore. I've already been threatened with disembowelment if I ever attempt any fly tying cooking adventures in our new kitchen. My retired science teacher friend says he wouldn't trust me with firecrackers, let alone picric crystals. I've been rooting around all af...

Re: Golden Brown
I just went through all of my masks and tails and I don't have anything that compares to that color; and I really want to dye some up now. I've got a retired science teacher buddy, I think I'm going to hit him up and try and score some picric acid. Having never tried to buy the stuff, would getting ...

Re: Hot Bunny & Beaver
I like the fly, but I can't get past the name (it's awesome). It sounds like a remake of 'Thelma and Louise'.

Re: Golden Brown
After spending most of my adult life telling anybody who will listen just how much I HATE the 200, I actually really like the 201. Go figure...
