For dry flies you want to use rooster neck or saddle hackles. Hen hackles are usually too webby for dry flies. Basic rule of thumb- Dry Fly: rooster hackle. Wet Fly: hen hackle.

Might try this place. Gitzit Tube Jigs They may have just changed the name of the color. There's a color chart here too.

Hmmm... Chevettes, Vegas? I'd say at least 3 more Chevettes.

Not really. Gotta talk about fishing once in a while.

Like that $3 a gallon White Port. Just takes a little getting used to. But it will get you quite drunk.

Either way, there aren't too many of either left.

Just got back from the store with a case of MGD. It's gonna go down real good while I read all these crying stories about PBR.

Now that's funny!!

It's about a party coming up on July 9th where a bunch of guys (gals?) from this forum will float down a river (Gasconade?) while fishing and drinking beer and talking about fishing and other non-related stuff while hopefully staying safe and having fun.

Here is some info on choosing hackles for flys. HACKLE SELECTION PAGE Singlebarbed.com Learn Fly Tying

I used to drink PBR when I was a teenager back in the 70's. I've since learned that there are much better beers out there. And if you have to put a lime in your beer to hide the awful taste of the beer...

A cookie on your computer being hacked is not a tracking cookie. Tracking cookies are cookies that will actually record what web sites you visit and report that info back to the site that created them. Log in cookies will not do that. I've never found a banner add (flashing or not) try to leave a cookie or any other type of programming such as spyware and malware, unless you click on it. IE does have cookie management and pop-up blockers. A good firewall will also prevent malicious malware and spyware from being loaded onto your computer. The only threats I've had on my computer in the last few years were a couple of tracking cookies, and they did not come from OAF. They were from another site that would not let me do business with them unless I accepted their cookies. Of course, I will no longer be doing business with them since I found out that their cookies are in fact tracking cookies. As for viruses on this site, I doubt there are any in any of the ads. If there are viruses on OAF, they were uploaded to the site in a picture or video. I don't open all the threads here and of course not all pics and vids etc. I've never found any problems with any of the material here. I'm sure Phils web managment has software to stop that before it gets to the site. A link to another site could also be a link to a virus infected webpage. One must be careful as to what one clicks on while surfing the web.

You like Mexican beer, but you drink Scotch whiskey? What's wrong with a good Tequila???? Chinaco Añjeo!!!!

Don't drink while fishing on the lakes or rivers. But if you absolutely have to, cans are fine. Canned beer just don't taste as good as bottled beer.

The cookies used by OAF are not used for tracking, but to identify users on this site. I never have clicked on the banner ads so I wouldn't know about the cookies you get from those sites. Although that latest banner ad from Can Am is really annoying as it takes up so much space for the first 5-10 seconds.

I have never tied one so I can't say about the peacock herl. I'd rather think that if you did use peacock, it would simply be a different pattern. I never tie the wing case over the bead on my bead head nymphs, always behind.

If the trout stop taking them, use them for bass and panfish.

MGD. Bottle. Not canned.

I've never been warned of any "tracking cookies" on OAF. I don't think Phil wants to know what other websites we visit.

Here's a pattern for a WD-40. Just add a bead at the head of the fly.

Even for Japanese cameras.

I was just refering to all the Busch Light cans I see floating in the creeks and along the roadways.

Just a reminder to everyone to keep their AVS up to date. I have never had a problem with any viruses on OAF. I'm sure some avs could find a virus within itself if not set right.

Busch Light... Hillbilly class act.
