Enjoy the moments because they grow up so fast. 😉

I’ll be watching this one.
I spent most of today picking junk out of the stream I was fishing instead of fishing.

I hope this is what you were looking for.  I have never tied or used it but it does look interesting.

Sorry for your loss.

[bill heffner]

I hope it is not the future.

Great pictures!!

They are all brand new and have not been touched by fishy hands. ;D

Have a great trip and don’t forget to post pictures!!!

I think Ed Koch uses Coats and Clark for many of his midge patterns.  I think his reason is that he can get many more color combination from the craft thread than the fly tying thread.

I’ve used it to tie small patterns and it did not make a difference on them.  I have never used them for larger patterns (things that are not miidges) so I don’t know how they would work on them.

Give it a try.  😀  That is what fly tying is about.  You may come up with the next great pattern. 😮

I am headed to upper new york to fish for steelhead in two weeks, and I have been surfin the net lookin for patterns to tie. I have never been so any info is appreciated. I have tied up several egg patterns, some chartreuse nymph looking things, and a few STS buggers I saw on schmidt outfitters. Help me please!!! 🙂

I have had luck with a blue Copper John in size 14.  Also the scrambled egg pattern is a good one too.   You must get you fly on the bottom.  

A good book is John Nagy’s   “Steelhead Guide”  it is written for Lake Erie Steelhead fishing but he has many good patterns and techinques for catching Steelhead.

The  UV stuff made by loon is pretty good for heads, i know several top notch tiers that use the stuff…

+1 for the Loon products.
