Thanks for the tips Adrian!

Thanks for the nymphing advice.
My friends weren't around during the light of day but in the evening when I went back they took a liking to a knotted midge fished in the foam.

Hey got a quick question.
When sight nymphing in bright sun & low water do you guys & gals use bead head nymphs or non bead heads with shot on the line instead?
Not sure if the gold bead heads...

Well said Riffle.

Nice job Cam & Dad!

To quote the A-Team: gotta love it when a plan comes together! :)

Gonna work on something this weekend. I'm thinking a black foam body, fire red thread head to represent eyes, orange mallard flank on each side for wings with a few strands of flash for an underwing....

Thanks guys, I'll let you know how it works on Sunday.

Those Touch rods are really nice.
I'm a full flex fan myself.
Enjoy!

Came up with this one at the vise last night.
First time I've worked with Enrico Puglisi 3D Fibers. Great stuff.
The color of the fiber I used is called "Backcountry", hence the name of the...

Sounds like a good time. Hope to make it next year if you have it again.

Saw some cat tying these wets down in Darien a few weeks back. Yours look a lot like his did. ;)
For the record, I'm a big fan of the Catskill.

I don't have any 2 weights (yet) :) but I do own a Orvis Superfine Trout Bum 6'6" 3wt. Full Flex & a Hardy Glass 6' 3wt. also slow action. Really like both these for tight quarters. The Orvis is now...

Great article by Flyaddict Steve Culton, check it out if you get a chance.
Picture of cover & article, so you know what to look for, on BRK TRT's blog:...

Also, I cut the tips off the back set of deer hair on this one. I liked the look. (Actually, looking at the pic, I missed one of the tips). You can leave them long if you want. I tied some with the...

Horny Muddler seeks sexy water! Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
Tied up a cross between a Hornberg & a Muddler.
Thought it came out pretty good.
Easy to tie as well.

Picking up a copy very soon.

That first fish is the size of my old silver Honda CRV!
PS. Check out the butterflies at the 1:51 mark. They are puddling, saw that happen on my trip to Virginia this summer. Pretty cool to see in...
