that yarn will work for about anything.

surprisingly pink and blue have taken a huge number of our largemouth bass for me.

try a contrasting colored collar. either a hackle or marker. with the light green, black has been best.

on retrieve it looks very fish-like. however i've had most strikes on a pause. the fibers open up and seems to overcome the fish's inhibitions

interesting post as always.

Beautiful! Having perused Dennis' website, I see these photos are only a few detailing his artistic eye and fly tying skill. It is also rumored he is a pretty phenomenal angler, as well. Nice work!

Hi Travis,

all my deep respect and good luck for the project and all participants.

Buddy P,

Find the volume button on your computer (or click mute in the video). Some people like this kind of music.
Taste differs, you know...

Me as Marcel's mother liked the article very much and I am proud that he has found his way in life. How much he likes his life and nature is shown in the photos.
Congratulations.

Mr. McPhail, thanks so much for posting these tying videos, I have now purchased a beginner vice and will be having a go at tying my own flies.
I beleive that you making it look so easy will be a bit frustrating at first, but hopefully I will catch on.
Thanks again Cheers Steve Thistle, Torornto Canada

Simple, effective, why over think it. If it works on my flyrod, I'm in. Good work Art!

bob-
i'm not sure what the "paper method" is but to keep a horizontal seperation fold back one color at a time, tie it in then the next and so on. cover your individual ties with the single thread wrap that finishes the fly.

i'm a very lazy tier and when i saw my first thunder creek i said 'that's way easier than spinning deerhair". it is and it floats well and casts easily. a lot of my most productive bass patterns are thunder creek streamers or large madame x's.

however i read his book and mr. fulsher never intended any of that. oh well.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
