Check on the shipping from Orvis? It might be $12-$15 they will insure and confirm, now you have around $45 total maybe, that will be 75 cents a fly. I can tie my own for around 25 cents. I have found that the store bought flys are trashed after you have caught about 3 trout on most (not all), thread comes lose and so on. They don't use head cement on the volume of flys they tie where they need to. I can fish ONE of my Elk Hair Caddis flys all day and catch lots of trout and still use it on another day. I'm cheap and even take my old tore up used flys and strip them and re-use the hooks and beads if I don't lose them the to the brush & tree Gods. If you don't tie it's not a bad deal.

Tim, It looks like it's NOT going to stop raining anytime soon at all. I just looked at the Intellicast.com radar.

Very cool egg pattern.. http://globalflyfisher.com/tiebetter/eggs/

I tried them yesterday and they didn't work for me, I went to a Elk Hair Caddis with 7X and thumped them just below the surface once the Caddis got wet and submurged just a little (with 6X there were looks but NO hits). It was COLD and WINDY for sure. There were lot and lots of people there for sure. Spring breakers are at RR.....

I thinks they have been generating water, everyone below Beaver has started, with the anticipated rains to start for the spring...

John, Have you started using your Green Butt fly yet? It's March.. A very nice fly I might add.

John you have a PM..

It works real well once you get the hang of it..It does take a little practice for sure.

Fine report on the N.Fork of the White R..

Yes, it looks like it's coming our way...

I had a 1993 Chevy Suburban, sold it in 2001 with 575,000 miles on it with no problems with it. The guy that bought it is still driving it. Hard to beat the old 350 Chevy motor, mine would burn 1 quart of oil between oil changes.

Those Craner's are pretty for sure, glad they can make year after year.......

Thanks, I was just looking for uses for my Mallard flank for tying, got any more uses for Mallard flank Jeremy?

I didn't get there till around 11AM, but a olive and black woolybugger worked very well for me so I stayed with it.

No warranty card, and I'm not sure of the US version to answer. Dan, I did send you a PM...

I have a Winston IBIS 9' 5wt. 4pc. that I'm just not using in my waters, it comes with the Winston tube with slots for the rod pcs. I can send pics if needed. Asking $90 shipped in the lower 48. Thanks..MLC SOLD P/F

Tim, are you going to be in the shop tomorrow, or will the shop be open? I need some of that (red) bloody tip on a new line.

Try these people, prices are right and the line is good, it's from Canada.. www.gremlinfishing.com

My wife does the same thing but we call it Green Chile Pie..Good stuff for sure.

Going tomorrow, I was there Sunday also and did well with Chamouis San Jauns, and glo-balls, the weather was perfect also for a good day..

I will get some pics tonight going your way. MLC
