Re: Heritage Hare & Grouse
Yeah, sneck hooks are kinda ugly, but somehow I like them. Their square, like me.

Re: How to???
Which of the two rods do you like casting better? The 3wt would have the advantage of casting a lighter line and have a softer presentation. The 6 wt has the length advantage that would give you greater line control (easier mending). If I had to choose, I would go with the 3wt. To me, it is a better...

Re: Proportions?
Hackle Length Varies Over a Wide Range: from half the hook length (0.5X) on the short end of the scale, up to one and a half times the hook length (1.5X) It all depends on what you want the finished fly to look like. If your going for a specific imitation, follow the general proportions of the insec...

Re: How to???
Hank - Thanks, didn't realize the photos would get bigger if I clicked on em. That helps. I would definitely try some terrestrial patterns (ants, hoppers, beetles, etc.) under those trees next summer, especially on a windy day (if you can cast okay). The tall grass along the stream should hold lots ...

Re: How to???
Nice spotting Hank. That's half the challenge.
I think I would approach that spot from the right side of the stream and cast towards the upstream side of the rocks. Let the current carry the flies downstream and towards the left.

Re: How to???
Man, that would be a fun little stream to learn to fish. You should definitely tye up a handful of the soft hackle pattern you posted and give it an honest try. My recommendation is to wear drab colored clothes (camo or dull tan colored cloths) and to keep a low profile when fishing each pool. Work ...
