    Scuds are a killer fly! If they are natural in the water ur fishing! Abit of work to tie in smaller sizes! Sawyers Killer bugs are better ! If i knew someone from Orangeville,i could get the special wool needed to tie them! Anyone from Orangeville on here?

    Hi all,Im planning on replacing my aquaview video screen(tv screen tube) with a portable DVD screen! My question is ,will the dvd screen be sunlight viewable or will it have to have a shield on it like the old tube type tv screen! If it will need a shield it hardly seems worth the revamp! Also,will the picture now be color? Old screen is B+W! Thanx for any input!

    Nice work Brian,.you mentioned proportions. That was a learning curve for me for sure. Especially hackles! Too litlle......wont float! Too big......fly wont sit right on the surface! Check out Reelflies.ca. an ontario fly company ! Thier catalog,has excelent pictures of 2500 their flies! This sure helped me a lot with how they should look! Check it out ! Cheers!

    Caught this walleye today on lake erie. Part of a nice limit of six! It had these things on all its fins! Looked to me like maybe lamprey larvae! Any guesses?

    Dont use steel wool! It will contaminate the aluminum and cause rust!(steel shedding from steel wool) use a scuff pad and solvent! Cheers.

    Brian,try going with less hackle,sizes to the hook! (1.5-2 times hook gape)Ive tied some 16s. Not fun for my old eyes. Ive also tied lots of klinkhammers in 14 and 16 lately. Parachute post are easy and the sighter really helps old eyes! Lol! Sure wish i had a river close by!
