hello, I like your article, I am also sea bass fisherman. I practice this technique in France in Normandy near Cherbourg with my boat.
Unfortunately, this is a fish Menasse overfishing in our waters.

Hello Tom,
this is a great article, the reels are looking fabuleus, the O-ring bearing design is great, can you give me some more details about the O-rings specific types and sizes.
Kind regards,
Paul
You forgot the best chuck pattern of all - the usual. you can see the chuck vs. snowshoe fly in 'Wyoming or Bust' on the Wyoming Fishing network. I showed the chuck pattern to Fran and his eyes lit up.
Beautifully done, Darren! Great idea and pattern!
That was an awesome read and some great pictures with tons of information.
Thanks Joseph

'left some extra tube on the schnozola so that I can still add a cone-head if this makes it all the way to Bishop's Shoal in a few months...
The tubular notion can open up some curious doors...
Hello duke,
Thanks for the nice comment on the pattern, you said I have added your pattern to my book!. Have you written a book?. I am interested what kind of book you have written? Please let me know. And I think it is great to tie flies with your grandson and to fish with him.
Best regards,
Tom .
That is the beautiful fly.. yes, I´m tying and tied many even more of this fly pattern. I like your fly and very well done color tones... un saludo afectuoso para ti .
Thanks Armando. These are a fun style of fly to tie. It takes some practice, but once you have it down, they come pretty quick. The biggest challenge is finding the hooks.
Darren, that is a beautiful job! Love the colors.
This is a little cracker Darren,tied to perfection...
Its a wonderfull fly,i've caught many fish since i live next the the restigouche river and also fish the miramichi,my best one i tie with and orange hackle and rarelly go over a number 6 hook,thanks for sharing i enjoy this place for reading and getting new fly paterns.
The Shrimpton is a really nice fly and very well tied, but damn I almost got seasick watching the vise rock back and forth, WUWT?
I caught a 3.92kg yellowfish on the vaal river this weekend could you tell me what i the weightrecord for theyellowfish regards photo taken
Thanks GFF staff for another great year of flyfishing articles, video's, pictures and other related stuff.
All the best for 2013!
Best regards,
Tom Biesot.
Such a fine piece of work, it almost seems a shame to dunk it.
Hi Joel;
Gee, your compliment is really kind and very, shall I say, glowing. Thank you so much for your endorsement! I do love tying and also teaching. It's rewarding to have students learn and tell me their tying has improved as a result of my efforts. Thanks again!
A fantastic experience the young one. He'll never forget about landing his first fish. He'll now be pestering his father to go fishing more and more.
This is what its all about - teaching our 'next generation' on how to fish.
