old style

Thanks Stonefly

Is this the 5 minute version sold at Lowe's ? I have never used epoxy, usually just pull the foil over and tie it in but would like to use a bubble.

U.V. lights

I'm working on several patterns that call for a drop of epoxy on top of the wing case. I have never used epoxy but when I watch demonstrations I always see a u.v. light used to quick dry the resin. ...

black fly

I have tied and fished several black fly patterns. I have not found one that is better than all the others. The one I usually go to is #22-#22 black thread with a very small amount of short white...

s.w.a.g.

scientific wild a--- guess is: dig until suitable material to support a structure is found. N.P.S. has very specific restrictions for construction, however the agreement with Cherokee N.C. to keep...

sounds like

a cripple based on your description M.B. I was asking whether the wire is brassie wire, 77 answered that. I use a 102 Y hook when I tie cripples. I like that hook, and it floats with the gape in the...

hot pattern

I like the looks of the bug M.B. I want to clarify one ingredient, is the copper wire 'brasie' wire ?

So. Ho. stained

I fished the middle section, the water was stained. I did not see many bugs, a few b.w.o.s not many and not too many fish rising. I fished skinny water early and caught several fish on bead heads....

fourx
I plan to drive northeast also Saturday. I have fished the sluce and it can be great. I'll be in the middle section parked in the not-so-new parking lot. I'll be fishing alone since my best...

Cherokee Nat. Forest

While you're there fish Beaver Dam, it is free stone much like the Little River and fishes very similar. We fished it then fished the So.Ho. two days. There is a campground on the Beaver.

thanks Grannyknot, I think you're correct. I tie with the small rib that does not come on spools. I found it in small packs with several feet in each pack.

'd-rib'

I tied some with 'd' rib not 'v'
'd' is very small, I'm not sure in relationship to 'v' anyway I will sling them this weekend. Punk just inspired me.

"scooter midge"

That bug tied in a different color is called the "scooter midge" on the so.ho. Thanks, I'll tie it and try it this weekend.

I fished upper (early) and middle (noonish) sections Saturday, it was cloudy early and not many rises. I did manage to snag a few on #18 zebras. When the clouds left and the sun came out I found more...

my two cents worth

It would be a good idea to give Rod or Scooter at call at the south holston fly shop. Another good idea would be to take your b.w.o. and sulfur fly boxes. I have fished there for years and it is...

So was I

I fished the So.Ho. Saturday and Sunday and the hatch (b.w.o.s and sulfurs) was minimal I was able to hook up with enough browns to make it a good day for me and my pal. We used #21 (yep #21) c.d.c....

sulfurs

that explains why I caught one on my #16 sulfur Saturday. I was using it as my strike indicator. I never saw any come off, the fog was HEAVY. I was not near the jail. Encouraging though that you saw...

high sticking ?

I'm with bigsur on this, I checked it out and it sounds similar to high sticking in the park. I understand the issues related to using yarn. I hate using it or anything other than a #16 or larger dry...

but what about

wading ? I fished from a drift boat last Saturday and it reminded me of why I love wading so much. Any advice for wading ? Still sling streamers ?

thanks David

I plan to fish the Clinch more this winter than past, or at least give it more effort. I have concentrated on spring, summer and now fall on the Clinch and it has been a learning experience. Thanks...

slow down boys

I'm still stuck on the "Cockeyed Valdez" c.d.c. crane fly imitation. Will you be applying for a patent for that ? Will I become famous like Waterwolf ?

genius

you're a genius, that is exactly what it was. You're also correct in that they just skitter on the top. Trout were sipping in the film not taking them on top. I caught a very nice fish on a split...

perhaps but

fourx, I have seen b.w.o.s and this was similar but different in that the thorax was much thiner and darker and the legs similar to a water bug. When I first saw them coming off I thought the same...
