Hi Davie,

your streamer looks nice, I especially like the red dyed teal flank shoulders. Did you dye your feathers? If not, where can I get it? Surely not in Czech fly shop...:-(((

Quite common

Adam,

The system with one or two sliding rings and no thread or locking mechanism is quite common on light fly rods. You simply press the ring or rings onto the foot of the fly reel, and it will sit there. The load or pressure is usually small on these light rods, and the reel should be secure enough.

I bet that would be

I bet that would be killer on smallmouth! Nice fly.

My grandfather's fly fishing rod

want to use my grandfather's fly fishing rod and i don't see any nut that you spin to lock reel in place. it is a airex air glass rod light cat no. 221 in general do they make rods where the cork end of the rod just uses two press fit fittings to hold reel in place

Kelly, I like your tie very much, yet it is your own pattern that I highly appreciate. Keep up the nice ties, Petr
