Posts: 3	Hello, I've been a keen viewer of Troutnut but hadn't realised there was a forum. My name's Dave Wiltshire and I am from Bristol in South West England. I am a bit of small stream fanatic, love tying flies and have an avid interest in photography. I have a website and a blog; the website being devoted to fly tying at the moment. Please have a look: http://davewiltshireflytying.blogspot.com/ http://www.riverflybox.co.uk/ Soon ~ Dave

	They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax. Radcliffe's Fishing from the Earliest Times,

Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 1722	Yeah, John, some of those are the Partridge Surehold Lightning Dry hooks (SLD). I used them almost exclusively for my grannom patterns this spring and had excellent luck. The Tiemco 103 is a great looking hook also; I hope to try it in the future. Dave also uses the Varivas wave hook for his nymphs. I have one pack of them to try. Dave, do you like them best for nymph patterns? If so, why?

Mpls, MN Posts: 112	Hi Dave, Very nice flies and photos. I have a long way to go behind my vice. In 1997, I remember taking a break from driving, I think Fort William was nearby, and walking along a gorgeous small stream there and thinking about the fish that might be in the stream. This was after the first fly rod was handed down to me, but about a decade before I got into using it. I look back on that memory almost every time I'm on the water and want to punch myself in the face for not "knowing" back then. I have not been back. I had a blast over there. Welcome.

Posts: 3	Thanks for the warm welcome folks and the positive feedback. The SLD is a great hook. My main pattern for tying dries. For nymphs I really do like the Varivas WB but also the Partridge BIN. Looking forward to joinin in with this forum ;) ~Dave

Nevada City, Ca Posts: 2	I too am a new comer to the troutnut forum! I am really enjoying all of the interesting photos and shared experiences!! Dave your sites are well done and your flies are like works of art! I especially liked your Hi-Vis / Balloon Caddis. I too have a new site but I am gathering little known secrets and tips that people can have free access too, and have found some invaluable tips on troutnut.com. Thanks Dave for sharing and making another new comer feel comfortable in posting. Best, Bill troutfishingsecrets
