Gr... Grr... Grrrr.....Green DRAKES! It's enough to make a grown man stutter! Please do NOT take this as official notification that the Green Drakes are hatching in earnest. We have captured ONE, and have been able to photograph it. What does it mean? Well, maybe they're coming! Feels like I've posted a few items in … Continue reading This Shall Not Wait!
Flies & Fly Tying
So, I was just complaining about…
Not seeing bugs here at the place! Well, a couple flew my way and this is the result. First things first - I saw this guy/gal hanging around... He/she wasn't too concerned with me. But, you are here for some bugs. And a few I saw - headed my way, and as a result I … Continue reading So, I was just complaining about…
The Neighbor & the Mystery Fly
I've introduced you to 'The Neighbor' before. This is the guy that 'Dances with Bears' - I'm referring to a post from a year or so ago. So, he shows up at our place with a container in hand. Hey, he's given me flies in the past so I'm as cordial and nice as I … Continue reading The Neighbor & the Mystery Fly
Friday Night Flies Presents… Not A Hair Outta Place Fly Tying – Reporting from Slate Run!
I'm taking you on a longer journey to the flies so hang in there 'Friday Night Flies' folks! (I've discovered where I can categorize and put this post in Flies & Fly Tying AND Spring.... so....) I arrived a week ago. First thing readily noticeable was the water level. For April, this water level is … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents… Not A Hair Outta Place Fly Tying – Reporting from Slate Run!
Friday Night Flies Presents… Not a Hair Outta Place Fly Tying – and… an Excursion from last Weekend for Harry!
Well, it's damn COLD! I say this with a grin as it was quite a cold day today given the wind that accompanied a thermometer that struggled to reach 55. I attended a Pine Creek Watershed Council meeting that took place at pavilion #1 in Colton State Park this morning. That was a bit nippy! … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents… Not a Hair Outta Place Fly Tying – and… an Excursion from last Weekend for Harry!

So, this post could be about, a) communicating with someone and being less reserved, b) businesses opening their doors again in an effort to get back to normal, c) making a trip to the cabin for the first … Continue reading Not a Hair Outta Place Fly Tying Presents – Friday Night Flies
‘Not A Hair Outta Place Fly Tying’ Presents… Friday Night Flies!
Emergers! Last post I mentioned that I thought I'd get into tying some generic emergers next. Compared to the extended body parachute ties I was doing a week or so ago, these tie so easily! Less materials and they just seem to tie up really quickly. I'm just tying up a very generic emerger sort … Continue reading ‘Not A Hair Outta Place Fly Tying’ Presents… Friday Night Flies!
Not a Hair Outta Place Fly Tying Presents… Friday Night Flies!
Try to not get your knickers in a bunch as I have been making an adjustment on my extended body tie and wanted to post it - but did not think it was worthy of a posting on it's own. So, I unpublished the post from Friday and am republishing it here. The last picture … Continue reading Not a Hair Outta Place Fly Tying Presents… Friday Night Flies!
Same Flies – Group Photo/s
Nothing new as far as style of fly tied this past week. Just thought I'd present a couple of 'Group Photos' of the collection though. A couple of dozen each - maybe they'll last the season - then again, with any luck maybe not! An older version of a caddis tied a few years ago. … Continue reading Same Flies – Group Photo/s

Friday Night Flies Alright! It's not Friday night so sue me! Better yet, fire me! I hope to present these sorts of things, articles, stories, posts - maybe even on a Friday night in the future. Time just got away from me this past week. So, here we are - Tuesday. Maybe the experience of … Continue reading Not A Hair Out Of Place Fly Tying Presents…
