Posts: 2733		Since I've never been able to solve the problem as to why the pics I UL to my posts show up only as thumbnail size I have to use this section to show my pics.

This pics are related to the thread about "the dubbing debate2: to spin or loop"

Many of the thoraxes on these nymphs was created with a dubbing loop.

Posts: 2733		Thanks guys! Jesse I might have pretty nymphs but I no longer nymph for trout, in the traditional sense. Where I fish in the East and when I go to MT in July, there is no need to ever consider nymphing. All those nymphs and about three other fly boxes were tied pretty much just for Great Lakes creeks and steelhead.

I do sometimes trail a little #18 BH on a piece of 5X about 6" long behind my dry in MT.

"GREAT looking flies!"

Thank you Sir!

I started tying again on Monday. I reviewed all my Catskill & Montana boxes, well over 4,000 flies, and decided that other than a dozen caddis pupa and some PMD emergers I really don't need to tie any more flies. However I probably will tie another 200 or so by the end of March just to keep busy during the day.

I've only been tying small flies for 4 years now, before that I was 100% bass-bugs and Pike flies...Dahlberg Divers, Hair-poppers and all.

I figure my learning curve is still headed 'up' and your description of materials, techniques, and the close-up pics are a great tutorial.

I surprised some of your boxes haven't "accidentally" gotten mixed in with Louis' gear. ;)
