| Hollidaysburg Pa Posts: 132 | louis, I would like it if you would allow me to include that tutorial in my new book "advanced fly tying for dummies". Right now i've got the walts worm, muskrat nymph, pre made globug, and everybodys favorite, coffee bean pellet fly. I started on the zebra midge but then decided I should set the cap on the number of steps at 1. Thanks in advance Jeff | |

| Pleasant Gap, PA Posts: 541 | Fur, feathers, plastic, metal, are all valid ingredients so far as I'm concerned...- Louis You forgot that noble material that can be used by the tier of great skill to supplant all others: Foam. This has been a really good thread - I wish I'd been reading it all along. My favorite quotes: Or worms...- Kroil But, so as not to violate another essential element of the fly-fishing tradition, the rocks would have to be quarried in England and cost $300 each."- John, quoting someone like Gierach, I presume. I would even suggest tying them on treblehooks and marinating the yarn flies in worm juice.- Kroil The dry fly fishing has been slow, and I to was looking for a rise:)- John For those advanced tiers who dare venture into such layered and detailed procedures and recipes, I will attempt to explain how to tie these distinct and species-specific flies.- Louis Good stuff, guys. Keep it coming. -Shawn | |

| Portage, PA Posts: 5 | If we were all truly purists we wouldn't use hooks, synthetic thread, vises, factory made lines, lead shot, tin shot, anything plastic, genetically engineered feathers, dubbing in a bag, etc. etc. etc. The only thing genuine about fly fishing anymore is beer--and thank God for that. | |

| Palmyra PA Posts: 908 | Hey Lastchance, my in-laws are in Johnstown and Hastings, so I'm up that way from time to time. I just met my brother-in-law on the Little Juniata for some fishing, and hope to get up your way next weekend. I don't mind a trip to the in-laws one bit as my brother-in-law tells his wife he has to keep his in-law (me) entertained and show some hospitality by taking me out fishing. We think it's a great scam; neither of our wives feels comfortable objecting. | |
