Spey Hackles

A trick you can use with thick stems is to mash them down with a pair of flat pliers. Going up and down the thick portion of the stem will break the inner part of the stem down and make it much more pliable. This will make a whole range of feathers easier to work with. Better and more available than goose shoulders are turkey flats. They are everywhere and when stripped, bleached, and mashed you get a very good hackle to wind.

Yellow Fever

Probably the oldest angling club in SA was the Rand Piscatorial Society which was formed in 1911. Otherwise a very good article. I was fishing the fly for yellows ca 1970

The Tabou Caddis Emerger

Hi Dances-With-Trout - ummm...errr...yeah, it will work for bonefish! (wink, wink!) How about next August you and I fish some Mexico flats together, you with the Tabou Caddis, and me with a Crazy Charlie or something. Least fish buys :)

Flexible bench

Hi Jan, Greetings from BC Canada. Thank you for your thorough plans and detailed commentary on your fly tying bench. I've nearly completed my bench! I decided to make the melamine base nearly 36" wide, and will be lining the perimeter with brass corner moulding. Thank you for taking the time to post your plans. "Tight lines" -a-

HiVis CDC Midge

Hi Richard, Glad your son got his first trout on the midge. Don't be scared to tie them larger and fish them during mayfly hatches. I recently caught some mullet using a white version of the pattern with the hivis post. Regards, Darryl

Chinese White

I love your tying articles and sequencing the links in your enlarged photo steps is a great technique and very helpful. Thank you! I've searched the internet for the rubber "turbo-style" cones without success. Can you suggest a source for them?
