Peace be with you and your family in this time of lose. We all mourn with you on Ree's passing.

Thanks for the Link! I have a copy of the DVD but another resource for this is always appreciated!

Yellow Creek is one of the streams on my short list to fish. I certainly know where Portage is. Next time I'm in to the area I'll send you a PM and see if fishing is a possibility!

Thanks John! As always your kindness and hospitality are greatly appreciated!

Fish a lot of places. I grew up in Somerset County not far from Seven Springs on Laurel Mountain and still get home now and again to fish Laurel Hill Creek and Jones Mill Run. But I also like the...

Thanks John & Neil! While I unfortunately never had the opportunity to meet either JC or Ladyfisher, I'm familiar with the areas you describe! The South Branch is one of my favorite areas on the Au...

Same back at you Colonel! Have a safe trip back to the Ausable! Call if you interested in lunch when you pass through!

Here in Southwest Ohio we're on the cusp of the Brood X 17 year Cicada hatch. Really cool period where everything that swims, flies or crawls gets a tasty meal of the big bugs! Tied the examples...

This is also a great article on deer hair and it's various characteristics by the late Chris Helm:

Any calf body hair or deer hair suitable for comparaduns?

Lots of great fishing opportunities in WVA. Check out the link below for a map from the WVA DNR regrading trout fishing opportunities. Most of the trout fishing waters are located in the eastern...

Happy Birthday to you! Hope you had a safe trip to the North!

Scott,

Love these two flies! Getting ready to go fish the March Brown hatch in PA and looks like I need to add a few of these to my collection. Really like the idea of leaving the deer hair...

Greg,

Both ebay & etsy have some listings for squirrel skins. Not sure what you plan is regading your soft hackle patterns but maybe something from either of these site will work for you!

Thanks Everyone for the kind words!

Scott - I hear you on the light. Was using natural light supplemented with a couple of inexpensive IKEA LED lights. Was going to add my OTT light but after...

I've got a long way to go in regards to my fly tying skills but here's a few of the flies I've been working on for this spring. Still hoping to get to use them in May over in PA.

Thanks for posting the link. Great article and interview. I've been a long standing fan of Gary LaFontaine. Great to have a chance to hear in his own words some of his thoughts and...

Thanks Scott for the link & thanks Ted for the endorsement!

Scott,

As usual, another great fly from you ever growing list of well done flies. One question, I'm curious about what a WFC hook is? I've tried an internet search and I get lots of hits none...

Ya'll have a Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the time with friends & family!

Glad to see you posting on the forum again. While I seldom post comments regarding flies folks tie, I always appreciate it when you and the other excellent tiers we have on the forum do so. Thanks...

John,

Good looking Hornberg, regardless of the picture orientation. One of the first flies I tied after a got a JC skin. Glad you put the real deal on this example. Can't really tell from your...

Hey John!

Won't get to see you at the Michigan Fish-In later in the month so I thought I should pass along a happy birthday now! Hope you have a good one! Pester some fish for me and, god...

Incredibly sorry to hear the sad news of Deanne's passing. My & my families heart goes out to you Neil and the rest of the family in this difficult time. Ladyfisher was certainly a special person...
