Reese we're very pro

Reese we're very proud of you Travis. We wish you the very best in this project.

I'm waiting for this

I'm waiting for this book: it's ordered from the UK and I'm an Aussie. I'm interested in using foam posts and foam under a nymph's thorax = more chances to float in highland lakes in windy conditions. this book should be a help!

Very good, transluce

Very good, translucent and very shiny

Glad you got the book

Milan,

I'm glad you got the book and like it.

For fishing in the autumn I would go for the smaller and less "meaty" flies. I will be fishing in September too, and my box will most likely be stuffed with patterns like Magnus (size 6 or so), Red Tag (size 8, 10 or so), Copper Bully (size 6, 8), Charlie Fly (size 6, 8), Danish Pastry Fly (size 4, 6). I will also bring some brighter flies for days with more wind and murkier water, like Klympen in orange and maybe a Big Hole Demon in red or orange.
I will probably also add some Rolled Muddlers, Pinky Pains and Brendas, which are not in the book.

Apart from that I usually have a bunch of streamers, zonkers and assorted other flies if I feel like trying something different.

Very nice Mike! I like the colors, but love the flow.

Tom would you sell a

Tom would you sell a fly reel like the one in the picture ?

Beautiful photos

Beautiful photos of classic wet flies, along with the recipes using legally available, modern-day feathers. "Trout" by Ray Bergman = best fly fishing literature that I've ever read (and I've read a lot of it). A huge measure of "Thanks!" to Mr. Bergman for permanently morphing my fly fishing "bug" (at age 8) into my permanent fly fishing habit at the age of 12, back in the mid-1960's when I first read "Trout", cover to cover. The Wet Fly Plates in "Trout" are works of art. And for dry flies??? Mr. William Blades had no superior. He was amazing.

Ryan, great streamer. The colors look to be suited for a brown trout.
