Here is a link to the fly tying post I’ve been running on making your own Bugger Beast Box. It is VERY easy and cheap. http://www.itinerantangler.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1203906986
Tim, just like you said, I do the same method.
Zoo cougars and articulated sculpins, now this sounds like my type of fly swap, anyone volunteering to do the sex dungeon?
Maybe I’ll tie up a ghetto streamer with all my wig hair ::)
Posting pictures to the IA board is very easy. Just open an account at http://www.photobucket.com or Flickr. It’s free.
Then put whatever pictures you want to post on your desktop, size doesn’t matter they can be huge 4-5mb pictures or just little .jpegs, it doesn’t matter since photobucket resizes for you. Then go to “my album” in photobucket and click “choose” to pick the photos from your desktop, you can choose three as default or choose more below and add as many as you want. Choose to upload as “large” size, this fits well in Zach’s board margins. Then click upload and wait a few minutes and then they will be uploaded. Under each photo there are codes, choose the one that says IMG code and copy this code for each individual picture. Then go to the IA board topic and just paste the IMG code, photobucket will do all the work for you. Once you click post on the topic on the IA board the photos are automatically on the page (that is what IMG code does for you). This way you don’t have to resize all the time and waste time. I can post photos to IA in less than 2 minutes with this method.
Note: by adding pictures this way, photobucket/flickr will add the img img for you. This bypasses the method described above by Zach and I find it much easier. Just load em up, click the img tag on the photo site and hit paste in your post and done.
Here is an example from my photobucket site. Notice the IMG code below the pictures. Just double click and it will auto copy for you.
Then go the post and hit paste like this (I have deleted one of the bars so the picture won’t post and you can see the code.

Kevin, I never put it together as FunGI, LOL, that’s great. Dusty, have you ever tasted a fresh Morel mushroom? Best taste in the world – it’s the midwest equivalent of caviar or black truffle.
David, here are some more pictures of the midwest . . .
I too miss the great plains.
Sunflower capital of the United States – where else can you find “millions” of sunflowers?
South Dakota, the Badlands
Carhenge http://www.carhenge.com/. The greatest place you never thought to visit. In the middle of “nowhere special” Nebraska. The American dream, you build it and they will come.
Mitchell Corn Palace, only in the midwest can you build your kingdom out of corn
And of course, those great little prairie lakes
Brett, please shoot us a picture of that Flip Pallot leader holder, sounds interesting. Also, did you mean “tippet” holder or leader holder?
Zach, this past weekend at the Conclave I saw a tier that bought a cheap grill rotisserie motor and converted it to a rotary dryer. He said it cost less than $20 for the whole setup. He had about 50 popper boddies on the dryer! I am going to Walmart tonight to check it out and will let you know.
I spent last weekend at the SE FFF Conclave and went to Zach’s fishing/photography lecture. Afterword we went to the water to take pictures. I learned a few good pointers about taking fish pictures while in a float tube. Before I was just holding the fish up and clicking but Zach suggested rotating the fish toward the camera and getting a forward but slightly skewed angle. What a great suggestion, here are some pictures with the head-on shots in the tube, much much much better than my old shots.
The way I used to take pictures in the float tube
Here are some shots after improving my methodology and pointing the fish head toward the camera.
