    And if ya’ll are all that bored get a carpet cutter and start ripping apart torn up and poorly tied flies to get back nice hooks, dumbbell eyes, and other stuff.

    I think Davy made a good point about fly tying in general though.

    in reply to: daves shoot out: sage, orvis, winston #14846

    Yeah, If all we are talking is accuracy at 35 feet I’ll take you up on that too.

    in reply to: Surf Fishing #14816

    An intermediate line will help, I suggest it.

    That is a good name.

    in reply to: 5 WEIGHT SHOOTOUT (THE WINNER IS?) #14794

    Man, I think the right 6 wt can make all the difference in the world from the average 5 wt rod.

    in reply to: Glo-bugs #55312

    I’ve never tied an egg pattern simply because I never fish them (not an elitism thing though, just with as little trout fishing as I do I’ve never had the opportunity), I’m kind of surprised to hear there are so many variations, I thought it was all pretty much one basic style.

    Anyway since you guys are talking about breaking thread I think you should give mono thread a shot.

    Can you set it to warn you when are about to drive off the side of the road, then lean back, close your eyes and take a nap, that sort of thing?

    I what you are looking for is out there, I know someone with one, but I don’t know enough to recommend anything.

    in reply to: D50 vs D70 #60869

    Well the D80 is just really out of my price range as much as I hate to say it.

    in reply to: D50 vs D70 #60867

    Hell, somehow I just managed to make about $300 more than I usually make bartending on a Monday night so I think I’m just going to call it a bonus and spring for the D70.

    in reply to: lens question #60866

    Thanks

    in reply to: lens question #60864

    Yeah I still might wind up going with a D70 but I’ve completely ruled out the D40 for numerous reasons, the most noteworthy being the lack of and LCD screen on top of the body.

    in reply to: Fly Tyers #14731

    No Steven, I’ve never seemed to gain much from the whole club thing; but then I’ve never been to one of that particular group’s meetings so perhaps I’m just being stubborn.

    in reply to: New Fly Tying Vise #55450

    Yes, I have that vice (the Barracuda) and its hella sweet.

    in reply to: Fly Tyers #14728

    Sounds good and I can show you how to tie most of the primary nymphs and stuff for Arkansas trout waters, but yeah I mostly do streamers and stuff for warm and saltwaters.

    Fly tying doesn’t have to be expensive to start out with, it might snowball quickly but you can get up and going for a relatively minimal amount of $$$.

    in reply to: Fly Tyers #14725

    I started tying pretty quickly and I don’t have any regrets but do keep in mind that you probably won’t save any money.
