Why the "gringos" have habit of baptizing with other names the South American fish ? In South America and the world the tararira is named TARARIRA!! Because tararira is a singular fish that is only in South America!! Absurd!! Ridiculous!!
I love fly tying videos. I learn how to tie a fly easier with a video, than any other means. Thanks Darren!
Darren: Great job putting the hook reference guide together. Thanks for adding the B-17 to your guide. In the picture you reference it as a VMC B-15, should that be corrected to B-17.
Thanks Charlie. Thanks for spotting my error, I've corrected it as well. I've got more hooks to add to the list as well when I can find some time to photograph them.
Loretta, the fly is beautiful. It is hard to believe you have only been tying for 3 years. I started tying mid Jan of 2008, so I just made the 4 year mark. The Cains River flies are stunning. I think you did a magnificent job on this fly. :-)
Really beautiful fly. Love the tail and collar and the colors just sing.
Well done. Love the Cains River series.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I had alot of fun learning how to tie these streamers during my Christmas break this year. I look forward to tying many more streamers as I now understand the attraction to tying these beautiful patterns.
Preben, miss you so much, tight lines in haven, see you then <3
Darren, I just turned up some hooks that I had given to me with some other stuff/ They are marked 222o but no manufacturer. Would you have a clue what they may be. They seem to be fairly modern as they resemble some of the later ones you have here
Bob
Perhaps a Tiemco numbering, or something from one of the major manufacturers in Japan or China. can you send me a pic?
That is a beautiful streamer. I love the colors in it. The tye itself is very well done too. Bravo!
Steve,
Do you utilize a CB Radio in your boat?
If so, what is your "Handle"?

Steve,
You have more perch patterns then anyone I know and I never get tired of looking at them. Well done once again!
Love it Steve! I enjoy seeing perch patterns, and this is a goody for sure!
Great Colors and really nicely tied!
Schmegma,
I sure like your name and your willingness to stand openly behind your critique! Very grown up.
And yes, this is a Brassie! The article is about the Copper Joe, and this caption is definitely not right. My bad! Read the article and you will see Brassie mentioned several times - one place with the words "It becomes in effect a Brassie with a bead.". I have added that to the headline.
Not much new under the sun, neither regarding fly tying nor regarding anonymous comments...

Great article , fun to read, I liked it a lot.
Great tying skills also. (And the eagle and the rabbit are fun too).
Best regards ,
Tom.
Bob, I am a huge fan. This is a beautiful fly. The body work and wing placement are exquisite! Very nicely tied! Maybe one of these days I will be able to tye ALMOST as good as you. :-)
Bob you are an artist with these flies. Thanks for sharing your skill and talent and for all that you offered to help me along the way.
