    Fly Fishing

    Learn to fly fish for crappie and bluegill. Got my first vise for Christmas of 1959 in a boy scout fly tying kit, and yes I still got it. Love them wet flies the soft hackle, as a kid I used alot of wool yarn. The pic. of me is last spring, just put new line on one of the boys reel and walked over to the water to give it a test. It worked, then went back to my fly rod. You have a good day now and  a bad day fishing is still better then a good day at work. Kenn

    Ciao Ken,
    I do wrap the Hurl and thread together and wrap
    I haven't tried the glue.
    I checked out a few sources on line and their is a simulated dubbing for peacock, I'm going to give it a try and see if the fish buy it.
    Thanks
