LOL Shrimp

And no better time to start getting a supply of Simcoe bugs started

I think this will work. Had an native co worker tell me to make a small tied bead hook with a white piece of feather. My pinky needs a bit of work still. Rushing

Nice Wayne. I went to the big empty lot and gave the new tires a try. Even though they are not siped, (sp?), they performed well. Sure is loud though throwing that snow under the wheel wells. paddle wheels. LOL

Come to Barrie. There are a few hundred here right now.

I bye

Costco $1.04

I just watched a guy tie one of those wovey bugs. Pretty cool. Also going to tie some of these this weekend. Give them a try next week.

Thanks again That woven fly looks like a cray fish tail.

No, he fishes the Barrie marina docks. Sheltered from the winds and waves bud. Sad news. Glad the family has closure.

Which brings me to another question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Can I use just common sewing thread for tying ? Not that the cost is an issue, just asking. Also looks like I,ll be visiting the dollar store for my tinsel and other flashy color stuff.

Been going through some web sites looking at materials and prices. Also went and looked at completed ready to use flies. Im talking mass produced baits. Commercially made If I enjoy this as much as I am already, I win. To buy a quality bass popper, I can make 4, for the price of buying 1 ready made. Plus, I get to make it my way, not the store bought way. Im looking forward to this new hobby. Minus the head cement. I threw that bottle in the garbage. Nasty nasty stuff. After today's experience BCD, I will perfect the whip, come hell or high water. But for now, the half hitch will have to do. Need to grow more patients. LOL

Still feeling the effects of that stuff. Thanks for the heads up on the Loon. I,ll check it out. I have noticed that not all fly guys use that stuff. Those are all #8. I,ll be down sizing. I need to get magnifier glasses though. LOL

Is breast meat attached ? LOL Thanks bud. Will pm you.

Thanks Rob. Those tail feathers will work great.

Clearly he will need to work a lot harder carrying that that extra weight. He was gassing. IMO, If he had not caught Biz with the hook, it might of been a different out come. Biz was a class act after the fight, but if he had of won, Im sure he would of been trashing GSP. Not bad for his return. He needs to go back to his original weight class. He sure looked big though. WOW.

Oh I was warned about that head cement. I only made 7 flys and I can feel the effects of it. Crazy sh it that is. Think I might try crazy clue or maybe loc tite 747 or even that Gorilla super glue. Cement head is nasty. And yes, I had the window open right beside me. Just playing around with some. This is fun. Bottom one with the tensile is crap, I over worked it I think or the peacock feather was not the one to use. The beads are for making my walleye harnesses. They snapped right over the head of the hook eye. Will be heading down to Sail to stock up on some materials next weekend.

I need feathers, oh yes I do. Nice birds bud.

Thanks guys again BCD, That Is a very funny story. LMAO Thanks for sharing it. I knew today was not going to be a fishing day, so slept in. Now I have my cup of java, and am off to watch and tie for the day. Lets see what creations I can make. And yes, I have been watching McPhail. He takes his time and shows step by step.

Thanks Tom for the advise as well. It was my first and I thought it wasn't bad for my first. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Far from perfect. Practice practice. Thanks again.

So I should trim the back hair back ? Been watching tons a videos this afternoon. I need to stock up. LOL I,ll leave this one as is. Going to use as it is, but will take your advice. Thanks FF

It,s been great all day ART. Thanks for the update.

This looks alot easier. And I have that gold looking tool.
