Re: How many flies do you tie?
I tie whenever I have what I need:Materials and free time
But I buy all my trout dries and nymphs, my panfish flies I can tie myself.
If anything at the moment, I'm overstocked with foam flies.

Re: 1st dry fly!
As good as the kind you can buy! I can't do hackle if my life depended on it.:tongue:
Only thing I see is the body doesn't taper alot from fat to thick as it heads from hackle to tail.

Re: When you buy tying materials ?
I only buy materials when I have the money and the opportunity to head to BPS. Even when I find what I want online first, its different at the store cause I can't tell size that good.

Re: whirling desiese and felt soled boots.
I was lucky enough to get my license before the price doubled.(Which is a real kick in the behind)
I don't have to worry about spreading whirling disease, as I don't use waders.

Re: skip's dad (crayfish imitation)
I like the chenille version, it gives more the illusion of legs. Maybe tie some rubber legs with a knot to point them down? Or some marabou to give a swimming effect.

Re: marabou leech
You made my "super sucker" leech!:O
Looks good, I should try making one with sparkle in it.
And can I get a link to the fly recipe you based it off of?

Re: Damsel/dragon fly nymphs
Ah yes the stretch tubing damselfly. I've been making that one for quite a while, some with wire as a ribbing, some with lead eyes, even some with chenille as a torso cover in place of pheasant tail.
