John I do have specs on some of the stuff that I make a lot of but not all the items in the box. If you know what you need I can surely get some specs.

Dick, do you have specs on these fellows you've made and given me? http://bigbluegill.com/photo/7-24-13-2?context=album&albumId=20...

Thanks John. Usually when I make a fly I write down all the info about it but for some reason I neglected to do so this time.

Dick ,the ants you gave me were tied on #10 hooks .I matched them with a hook chart today . #12 would be more like the smaller hook size I was using first with the ants I had . Both #10 and #12 have worked on Gills and RBS ,I got a 9" River large mouth yesterday on your ant .He raced after it and grabbed it as I was reeling in quickly intending to change spots !

love terrestrials ,i am working on some mcmurray ants and balsa beetles.i have some lead ant and spider bodies that i tie for my non flyfishing friends and fam.since my wife totally out fished me recently using worms and bobber versus flies i gotta come up with some thing.i usually always outfish bait this time of year.any one mess with the acetate floss that cures when you put acetone on it?i have some of the floss but no acetone which is kinda nasty stuff

I"ve been using these for years on spinning gear , when fly gear wasn't practical . I just use a small weighted or un weighted bobber to be able to cast em. I never have tried the hard body ones , but some Trout fisherman swear by em . I always used a #14 dry fly hook , Mustad 94840 or the slightly lighter version of the hook a 94833. #12's just seemed to big to me ..... GREAT FLY FOR FINICKY GILLS !!!!! OR ULTRA CLEAR WATER .....
