Anybody go old school and use a down’s fly box? I think there’s another company that makes them as well.
Found that other company… Richardson
Interesting choices in web addresses!
Also found this guy, which looks handy:
I have the Oliver Edwards video. Its ok. Nice because he’s wading and fishing a big freestone stream like what you might fish here on the East Coast, but there’s really no great hints or anything in it. Its geared toward British fishermen, and from the sounds of it, they never streamer fish. So its much more of a primer than anything else. I don’t know that I would bother unless you really don’t have any idea where to start.
I think if you look at the heads on most of the lines being discussed here, and I know for a clouser taper, its already a half line weight up than the AFTMA standard.
I’m just wondering from Joel and any others, what it is that makes a fly shop so intimidating to a newbie.
What is it that is done wrong in so many instances.
MSI’ve been at this since I was a kid, and have always been a shop junkie.
mmmm pork rind…….

the archive strikes once more!

Their archive strikes again!
Around these parts, we have the big three: mays, caddis and stones, and then, supposedly, everything else. In my area, the big three are really mays, caddis and diptera, and stones fall into the everything else category. I think its just too hot for them around here to exist in large numbers. A couple rivers have good amount, but gotta go North and up in altitude. I’m more likely to stumble on a cranefly “hatch” than a stonefly “hatch.” Are stones not that prevalent in SA?
Do you know about http://www.flyanglersonline.com? They have a pretty extensive step-by-step pattern archive. I’m sure you’ll find some beetles, dragons, damsels, etc. there.
Are you looking specifically for dry patterns? Try the madame x. I think it covers a lot of your not so usual floating suspects.

This one looked particularly terrestrial/stoney http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw/81098fotw.php
Any interest in trading for a LOOP Multi 9’6″ 7 wt?
I tried to find the 8’6″ 6 wt. WT on the Winston website.
I don’t want to get all technical here, but dragons and damsels and stoneflies are not terrestrials. Neither are all moths in fact. Some are aquatic and imitated well with a woolly worm sans tag.
As for terrestrials, try:
As I understand it, that’s the Terrestrial Bible. A google search on Harrison Steeves may reveal more. Here’s what I found:

I always like a good lacquered ant fished as a wet fly.
