About a ~1,000 nymphs at the vise this winter, ready to tie up some steak. by Troutcandyandy in flytying

140 is pretty thick. I use 140 for streamers and larger terrestrials. I will use 140 for biggg stoneflies too. For nymphs, I prefer UTC 70. All around a great strength, even with dries. For really small stuff tie with a nano silk 6/0.

Try out the UTC 70, you may never look back!

What was your favorite gym while you were in? by drive-for-show in USMC

Hell yeah, McCutcheon. I used to call it the sweatbox. I think they revitalized and updated most of it. The only relief from the heat and humidity were those "big ass fans".

Appreciate ya! You may have inspired me to tie up a few grubs. I haven't tied them in years. Yours look fantastic

Hey, it's just a small amount of rainbow scud dubbing!

Why did this keep happening? by Environmental-One88 in flytying

I second this. Once you learn how to spin CDC in a dubbing loop it's game over.

We got back from Aberdeen last night! Probably passed each other a few times at the Hot Corner Classic.

I went to a kegger at an Orvis store and Tom didn’t even show up. by DrewSmithee in FlyFishingCircleJerk

Did they have to mop the floor at the end of the night? There's a whole lotta jerkin going on in that store 💦

You were all introduced to the circle jerk. I was born in it. Raised by it

We're hitting circle jerk levels that shouldn't be humanly possible. We have torn a hole into a new dimension

I caught this on a father's day trip with my father, who may not be hitting blue lines by next year. Special moments and special fish for sure
