I decided to start with the first release instead of waiting for the limited edition in the Spring just in case I could not acquire one.

Mook,

According t

Mook,

According to the tyer, the thread pushes the fibers back, and the thread will wind up right where you need it to tie down the hackle.

What are the advanta

What are the advantages of bring the thread forward by wrapping the hackle forward, as opposed to wrapping the thread towards the eye, and then wrapping the hackle forward?

I Love the look

I Love the look for this pattern, I will definitely be trying it on UK Stillwater trout.
I tied one last night with an orange dubbed "egg spot". I look forward to seeing how it performs.

Thanks for a great pattern.

I can hardly wait until the limited edition is ready for release in late Spring. The book looks great and I appreciate all the effort, time and dedication you are putting into this project Darren.

very cool vidieo. I

very cool vidieo. I am new to the area. I like to crappie fish and have a black bear skin rug and a stuffed pheasant i could use to make jigs. What do you suggest ? Charles

I really appreciate

I really appreciate this article. I've read through it several times and will do so several times more. I always learn something new each time. My first reels will probably be along the lines of your first and second models.

The simplicity of the O-ring bearing design is great. I've never heard of it before (which is not saying much as I'm pretty much the beginner). Are there specific types and sizes of O-rings that should be used for this? I've read that the depth of the groove is a result of trial and error until it gives the right amount of friction to eliminate over pull. Is the width of the groove critical or is close enough good enough?

Thanks for whatever answer may be forthcoming. And thanks again for a really great article.

Nice video. I fish

Nice video. I fish the Intracoastal Waterway in N. E. Florida and use a black Clouser 90% of the time. It is the most productive fly that I have found for these waters. I have caught Redfish, Flounder, Sea Trout, Mango Snappers, Ladyfish, Neddlefish and saltwater Catfish on it. You might want to give it a try sometime. I tie it with gold flash, red eyes and head, and use C.C.G. on the head.

are there any known

are there any known photos of the old Roach river dam in Kokadjo Me? If so, are any available for purchase?
