  1. Looks very fishy! Love the game changer style.
  2. I will be glad to help. I will bring a fly rod. My girlfriend would like to help as well. She is not an angler, but can help in other capacities.
  3. That set up is sweet! It looks like a dang fly shop!!
  4. Sad news indeed. I still keep a copy of the Kankakee River Map he and his son produced. it is still a great resource. Sorry to see such a great ambassador leave us.
  5. That was very entertaining! And some very sage advice to which i will ignore🤪
  6. Well done! The Clouser is a great intro to tying. Less is more with this pattern for sure. Keep it up!
  7. Thank you for choosing me to lead this inaugural event. I missed having the open banter that all of enjoy by sitting in person. Yet this is the next best thing. I hope I provided some good tricks for tying. I love to tie easy and quick patterns, then if they snag up no worries. Van, you're comment on weighting the front was interesting, I will apply it to a batch. I am intrigued! Rich the eyes don't last long without some reinforcement. I haven't found a great application yet. I've tried thin CCG but it takes away from the action a bit. Again, thank you to all who helped put this together and all whom participated.
  8. Hi Jim, To make a long story short I met the Friar, Jonathan on the Fox this fall. He is a Franciscan Friar so poverty is one of his vows. He had 3 flies and lost two of them. He uses an 8 Weight. I'm in Batavia, so I am more than willing to pickup what ever you feel like donating to his cause. Just trying to get him a bit of an arsenal for his kindness, knowledge and peace he presented to me . My Number is 708-710-9160 I appreciate your help in this matter if you would like to fish the fox this season let me know. I will show you everything I know in about fifteen minutes. LOL
