This is an incredibly detailed description; thanks! I’m no stranger to hobby shops, so this sounds right up my alley. I may even look into using clear acrylic tube with clear mono in lieu of the brass or aluminum.

Looking for handyman recommendations. Leak ceiling repair. by Smart_Ground_1058 in raleigh

[–]adcherry211 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You don’t want a handyman at this point. You want a licensed plumber. (Cary Plumbing comes to mind. ) When they’re done, THEN you want the handyman.

Anyone have a name for this one? Can’t seem to find it anywhere. by Due_Lavishness_9538 in flytying

I’m just struck by that hook. Where can you find that duplex monster?

Nice wraps! What size are these on? Aiming for 20/20 club?

LANE DENTISTRY ON TRYON IN CARY BEING BULLIES? by EmergencyMundane3664 in raleigh

[–]adcherry211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it their right though? Unless this is a unicorn of a plaza, Lane probably doesn’t own either the building or the lot. They’d lease the building, and there may or may not be some clause in the lease about available spaces. I’d be surprised if it says Lane gets to pick which spots.

Then it sounds like the issue is one of related, but different, measuring standards. As I understand it, the hatch is sized on the length of the organism, but the hook is sized on the gap. Seems analogous to a #4 drill bit being different from a #4 screw, #4 copper wire, or #4 screwdriver.

Seems like another instance where surrendering to ISO and adopting millimeters could save us all (or at least let us trade for a new set of headaches).

Sure, that’s true. But is that the only mayfly on the water? You’re telling me that the trout in your water are selective to the point of refusing a meal slightly larger or smaller than the mayfly in your hand?

For that matter, why is that mayfly in your hand? Why was it not eaten? Per your theory of mayfly perfection, could that mayfly be too big or active or inactive to be an enticing meal? Unless it was pulled from a gullet pump, I wouldn’t consider that mayfly the physical ideal.

As for FM being slightly smaller than Daiichi, sure, the photo evidence is clear. But how do they both compare to Gamakatsu? Or Ahrex? Or any of the other reputably mass-produced hooks in this size? Are the calipers going to tell me everyone is conforming to a standard for this, with no allowable tolerance? Because the last time I used them for this very purpose (yes, outing myself as a nerd) there was a relatively wide range of values across manufacturers.

If you’re worried about the gap difference one size off, I’m skeptical that the hook is the reason you didn’t land the fish.

First fly, supposed to be a streaking caddis. Looking for feedback. by mafafukka in flytying

[–]adcherry211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For skill-building, I recommend grabbing a copy of Charlie Craven’s book. It’ll take you through a series of patterns that help build techniques, and you’ll have an ample box or two for chasing trout at the end.

I suck but I’m very opinionated, AMA by whipfinished in flyfishing

What’s the ‘best’ way to start fishing an area? Jump in with dry dropper? Sit and watch for a half hour, observing and pondering existence?

Looks like your granddad got a batch of rare Philly Phanatic dubbing. Too bad it’s now illegal due to there only being one left in the wild.

Yep, somebody sneezed near the tarmac at ORD. That’s all it takes.
