Reply to: The Rangely style
Hi. I am a new tyer out of California and I saw this Streamer online and would love to try tying it but can't find the long hooks. Can you help me please? It's the Grey ghost fly. Thx!

Reply to: The Regal mystery
I have agree with you on the Regal vise. I tied on one for a few years until the jaw chipped. This is almost inevitable if you tie smaller flies - more a matter of when than if in my opinion. Contacted Regal and wanted to charge me for a new set of jaws which I thought was unacceptable for a vise with an obvious design flaw that supposedly has a lifetime guarantee. I switched to a Renzetti Presentation 2000 and haven't looked back.

Zoo doesn't dump poop in the water. Do research instead of spreading fake gossip.

Again:
Nice fly :-)
I love the simple patterns - they are quick for tying, effective on the water and look nicely.
Good job. -
Reply to: The LAW of attraction
I love my Law vise and have been tying on it for the last 20 years. I have 4 HMH Spartan vices for fly tying classes and for 20 years prior it was a Renzetti traveler that I still have. I bought the Law right before becoming a dad and it was a big investment at the time. At first I was a little let down with the simplicity but I honestly can’t imagine on tying on anything else. From large striper saltwater flies to size 20 midges, never an issue whatsoever. Seeing that my investment has grown, I will now make sure its clean as when I am done with it my sons can split the proceeds!!! Puts a smile on my face!!

Reply to: GFF turns 30!
A 30-year adventure like GFF is rare. The people who launch and support these good ideas burn out and/or are forced to transform the initial project into a commercial activity and often, this is the prelude to the end. The rare cases that survive are held at arm's length by a tough headstrong or a crazy enthusiast who makes it a personal mission. Thank you martin for possibly being a mix of the two.

The best all around streamer: seabass, asp, perch, tarpon, jack, chub, snapper... I use it mostly with white /grizzle/chartreuse or purple/black. I put bit more flash but I make the throat of calf tail to make a hot spot. And of course yellow stick on eyes and UV resin head.

Reply to: I stopped counting
Don’t worry, Google won’t loose anything cause you stop counting. If this free time give birth to + 1 publication per year or more time with Brigitte and/or fishing, well we all gain here. Obviously , more time for you and your love is first. Take care Martin.
