Must have been the same ones that laughed at me last time I was down there! Glad you showed a few of them a good time!

The fish were biting good in the rain and had a great time. Duckydoty The fish had a good time? Are you sure about that?

OK, I realize this post is a year old, but how do you make a whip finisher out of a paper clip?

I'm new to tying, and just found a great recipe, that calls for vernille. How different is that from chenille? Will it make a large difference in action, or can I get away with using chenille? I'm curious how much difference it makes if I substitute one item for something else in ANY recipe. I suppose if it works, I'm a hero, and if not, I'm just another silly fly tyer who got lazy! (By the way, is "tyer" a word? It doesn't look right, but neither does "tier"!)

(Mrs. Ducky) I just tied about 15 flies and forgot to do that! Well, hope I don't break any! (Never have, but famous last words and all that...) The worst hook stuck/barb not smashed story...I'm a teacher, and earlier this year one of my students got hooked...at school...on a classmate's hat hook! Very nasty. They weren't sure how to get the hook out without more damage than already done! It was a freak accident, but still it brought home the point! (Pun intended!)

Howdy all , Thanks for all the help.. So far Mrs. Ducky Has tied 10 or so flies ,(i got called into work last night ) some san jaun red worms , wooley buggers and midge . it's still a little hard for us but we r having a bunch of fun . is there any fly any of yall would recommend us trying to tie for monday ?

Just a question - My wife and I are bringing our son Devon (he is 7). Is anyone else bringing their children? I don't need a name tag-I'll be the big guy with no neck! (Mrs. Ducky would wear one, but then she wouldn't be able to disown me!)

After a little bit of help from Leonard last week , I think im gonna need to buy the person that helps me learn too cast a 12 pk or a fifth of sumthin lol

Where is this place??

This is Mrs. Ducky (Tami) and I'm a little confused. How do I tie a half hitch knot around the eye? Does it really matter what kind of knot I use if I secure it with fly cement? And is bread raw toast or cooked dough???

Taney would be mine , I do fish Roaring River also , But Taneycomo is mine

Thank you so much.. I wont hesitate to ask , I went down to Phils today and got to meet him , He is awesome , Thanks Phil for helping my wife and i in our venture today. We bought the fly tying kit and some other stuff . I am really wanting to tie the white rabbit hair zonker jigs , Leonard told me to buy one of them and use it , I did and caught my first brown (pictured in the other fishing help from me in this section) anyways i will try not too bother you all too much on monday but this fly stuff is AWESOME!!!!! anyways im gonna go try to tie see ya all monday P.S I know i shouldnt but i am going to bring my spinner rod to work with my Rapalas , I WANT A TROPHY BROWN lol , U all be safe see ya soon Mr Ducky (John)

Thanks for all the help in answering my questions. Hurry up, NYD!

WOW theres alot to a fly rod . i think im gonna bring it with me to Phils in the morning . The backing thing i dont think i got with the pkg . thank you so much for taking the time to help me understand , I know its gonna be frustrating but when i learn probally better than spin fishing or plunking lol , is backing and tippit line expensive ? and i cant get all 3 , so what would be my best choice for taney?

so there's line , the green stuff , then the leader and then the tippit??

Howdy all... I got a Fly rod for christmas from my wife and son . It's a shakespeare http://www.shakespeare-fishing.com/product...oducts.php?p=73 combo kit from walmart , its 8 feet tall and has a shakespeare 1094 rod. It came with line and also a tappered leader , im sure its not the best but im hoping it's up to par . The good thing is this was an inexpensive start to fly fishing for me . Friday my wife and i are buying a fly tying kit from Lileys fly shop (Wapsi http://www.wapsifly.com/wapkits.html )its not the deluxe kit but 1 right below it . I was wondering the types of flies we should tie , We fish at taney and roaring river . Also i need to know if theres anything more i need for my kit , Im also buying a strike indicator and some other stuff friday from lileys . So i guess i need tippets , not sure what that is and leaders , if any of ya know any links that will help me it would be awesome . lol i would like to be able to bring the fly pole monday (new Years day) and kinda have a clue LOL . thanks

Welcome to the forums , these people here are very friendly and knowlegeable , have fun and merry xmas to ya

Hiya all, the wife , son , & I are going to the dam in the morning to hunt for big.....fish , if anyone wants to join us we should be there between 7 and 730 am tommarow

The F5 Black and gold worked for me , but the fish stole it. Black and silver works well , Leonard caught 3 within 20 mins or so. The brown trout in picture was caught on a white jig thingy given to me from Leonard

Lmao !!!

Hiya all , was down at the dock today at lileys , i caught 3 on power bait and released them , didnt take to long either . On my way home i stopped at Cooper Creek pub access area , caught 2 more 1 on Power bait the other on rapala F5 , another fella was there catching rainbows left and right off power bait , not alot in size though

Is it only catch and release ? and what kind of bait ?

Leonard .... Thanks man i had such a great time
