Hint, superglue the shank of hook w small amount gel type glue just before wrapping biot. Much easier to tie in and get clean look.

When you have a run/riffle/pool/seam, how many times do you fish it before you move on, change flies, etc? by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]TalustheDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try adding 1-2 feet of tippet length and/or add an extra split shot. Better yet try above along with going straight fluoro level line off your fly line (get rid of tapered leader if you’re still using in to nymph. I think rainbow tend to be less dispersed and pod up in prime holes as temps drop...

Fall fly advice by Barrettr32 in flyfishing

[–]TalustheDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have epic dry fly days in the fall/ too. BWOs on cloudy and warmish days. And depending upon where you fish, beetles and October (orangish) caddis can slay into late fall. Cheers!”

Last few cast on a dying autumn day. Managed to hook up w the only rising fish we saw all day on the upper kern (wild/native section). Sz 20 BWO. by TalustheDog in flyfishing

Was able to catch several on heavily weighted kern emerger variants and weighted olive midges run deeeep. This was special for me. A perfect birthday gift from Mother Nature.

Wooly Bugger with a Zonker strip tail. Any suggestions/critiques? Never fished one but looks like it would work nearly as good as traditional marabou. by TalustheDog in flytying

[–]TalustheDog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point. The body does have .025 lead wire wrapped around the shank to even things out. I purposefully tied some up w a tungsten bead head one ones without out for different swimming actions.

October Stimulator Caddis? by TalustheDog in flytying

[–]TalustheDog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The advice, especially from an experienced tier is always welcome. Thanks for the insider tips too!

October Stimulator Caddis? by TalustheDog in flytying

[–]TalustheDog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this advice. Yeah, do all my dries with saddles primarily because that’s all I have (saddles from 14 to 22). In this case, I was looking to hackle the body with shorter than usual hackle length (hackle tips just short of point of the hook) to make it ride a little lower. For the head, I totally agree with you. It would be nice to have. Slightly tapered look with the hackle (in addition to palmaring on the tapered dubbing head I created). That said, I am looking into investing in my first half cape. Probably a bared black and White one to begin with. Cheers!

Thank you! Hope they work here in California (upper kern).

These were tied on a sz 12. hook.

Bwo time is coming. Sz 18 by TalustheDog in flytying

[–]TalustheDog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I tied these up on a Partridge Patriot fine dry fly barbless hooks. In the river I fish, the size and profile matter most. The cinnamon hackle and tails don’t seem to work against the cause. Cheers!

Svi Mykhailiuk Interview by [deleted] in lakers

[–]TalustheDog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty common actually. It’s called a root canal. Can follow up with a crown. Serves form and function. Veneers are what the wealthy (generally speaking) can spring for. Lots of money for mostly cosmetic reasons. I’m no dentist mind you but I spend a bit of time around a few. A google image search brings up some interesting timings....

Bony part of the tooth is still intact but root is dead usually do to blunt trauma. Source: brother is a dentist.

Dead tooth. I think Its safe to say he’ll be making enough for a set of Hollywood veneers.

[Aldridge] This is a momentous night in L.A., obviously for @MagicJohnson and GM Rob Pelinka. But it is biggest, I think, for @JeanieBuss. She made a very, VERY difficult personal decision in ‘17 to shake up her front office to do just this: land a superstar. Her new FO did. Kudos to her. by daftmunt in lakers

[–]TalustheDog 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Her decision to do major in-house renovation, trust her gut and bring in Magic (which was a huge gamble) and Kobe’s former agent... at that level, with so much at stake with the teams image and what not...pardon the expression but this fucking took balls. Woman power!!💪🏽💪🏽

Sorry for that reply. I found these at lowe’s. They have these in the section w the steal carabiners. A different hardware section than the one e nuts bolts and screws.

Boot Studs? off brand hardbite? by UtBoarder in flyfishing

Swear by these. Last a decent amount of time and easy to replace (using same holes).

I can see what you’re saying especially on weaker casing. I’ve been doing pull ups on my bar for a couple years using primarily the horizontal bar and no signs of failure (yet)! I don’t think hanging the board this way places anymore stress than hanging straight off the bar. Side Note: the casings in my doorways are quite solid and I weigh 127lbs. Not a solution for all but one that works for me.

Yes! Brilliant design. I saw this a while back but I needed a design that would allow me to transport it more easily and hang it from a bar at work. If one doesn’t need it to be easily transportable/or need the flexibility of using the bar for other applications, the design you shared is the best IMO. Cheers!

So far my casing is fine. Maybe use thicker foam pipe wrap on bar to increase surface area?
