I was pleasantly surprised to see some of my favorite Kreinik flash material, which is what makes the Kreelex streamers have such great action, hanging up on the wall. They had copper, gold, and silver styles. And while there are other colors out there, these seem to be the best for catching trout.
Which brings up another topic...Rich and I have had a year long debate as to which color coordination is more successful. He swears by the copper/gold while I swear by the gold/silver. If you agree with me, please comment below. If you agree with Rich,
One of last year's victims of a copper/gold kreelex
So do yourself a favor and run by the store to pick up some of this elusive material if you live here in C'ville and check out the Trow brother's video instructions which can be found here. This doesn't pertain to those in the Harrisonburg area because the Mossy Creek Fly Fishing store has had kreelex materials in stock for a while now.
Also, if you're interested in fly tying (or as I usually call it "tie flying"... not on purpose mind you, just the dyslexia talking) sign up for email updates from Albemarle Angler as they've started having regular tying sessions at the store. Only problem for those beginners out there: you'll need your own set of equipment and materials. But if you're a member of the med school club then I can definitely let you borrow some materials (just not my rare collection of extinct tropical bird feathers.)**
*joke, obviously
**yet another joke... if that ornithological collection was truly wasted on flies then someone needs to set up a rehab center for fly fishermen.
