Going throught the same thing right now with mine. Trying to nurse them through just one more season with Shoe Goo and sewn together in spots with fly line backing. And the felt soles are hard and slippery. Any ideas on how to soften them back up?

Hi
I put this on a copper tube, used materials that I had available and ended up with a great small mouth bass fly.
Little ones cann't handle it so it works swell for bigger bass in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Thanks for the pattern
Paul

Matuku, the New Zealand name the Australasian bittern .... is the species of birds whose feathers were used in the original pattern and the modern name Matuka of the fly is a contortion of this word

Hello Adam,
It was a sheer joy to find your website "troutmen" and low and behold their is our tu stream we love to protect the Conewago Creek in Gettysburg Penna our "secret hideaway". You found it and enjoyed this stream as much as President Carter did when he fished it. I was proud to see this video as stream coordinator for over a decade, thanks.

Nice tie, and a good story for it. Reading it brought back fond memories of fishing with my grandfather, stuff I had forgotten about, Thank you

Pete,

That looks like one piece of tool!

So combined with your LAW you should have vice supplies for about three lifetimes!

I have 5 new tubes + 1 that is in use of Overton's that I got back in 1997 (not selling BTW, my nephews are learning to tie and it will go to them when I am no longer able to). Long story short is that I was in the right place at the right time when a shop was reorganizing some older inventory. I got the whole lot for less than $10. There has been nothing that even comes close to this stuff (at least not the stuff that is commercially available). The smell of a new tube of Overton's has a slightly pine resin smell to it. Not at all overpowering but enough so that there is no doubt that at least one of the ingredients has some pine derivative. Prior to scoring the Overton's I tried the toilet bowl rings melted down and that was not even close. It made a mess. My wife was not happy. This recipe looks very promising even though I have a couple lifetimes worth of wax. In a thread a read a while back someone mentioned castor oil as one of the parts to Overton's. I am surprised that no one has tried to crack Overton's recipe by mass spec or GC.

I've started tying these "baby buggers" with rockchuck tail fur for the tails, makes for some interesting looking patterns, and the fish love them.

I Just went Fishing in the river Kyll (Kyllburg Germany) and experianced that fish would only rise on Yellow tied CDC flies. I only had a Yellow thread and brown CDC and tied me a few sedges with that material, that resulted in lots of takes of little trout and little chub. I just bought this book, hope it 'll help me next time....

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
