Slide Inn fly tying

Thanks for remembering the raffia. Thought I might need to tie a few Adult
Stones or Stimulators. I am bringing a #2 brown saddle for tying. The
pattern called for "furnace". Didn't have a "furnace" saddle.
Guy
Repacking and double checking for the 2nd time.

Since you're bringing the tying stuff, can I bring some materials and use
your vise as needed? I may bring a vise, but will have to see how my
packing goes.

Of course you may use my vice! I packed my old Thompson "A" for the big
stuff and tossed the Renzetti Traveler in just in case. I packed minimal
materials. Stuff for stone fly nymphs & adults, hare's mask, various
dubbings, turkey, pheasant, partridge, elk and deer hair and a bunch of
hooks - hopefully a "good" tyer will just use my stuff to tie and give me a
few in return as needed.

So, what do you need from me? :-)
Bringing some extra Frank's Fighting Craws along. Tied up 3 dozen this
weekend. One dozen went to Wayne Knight, one half dozen will be in my
raffle prize, leaving 18 for boat bribes to go with the beer. Really pretty
size 10s, perfect for the Madison.
Will bring some snowshoe rabbits feet for Usuals and Coyote Uglies (Tom
Littletons caddis emerger).

Don't think I really need anything Frank but a fishing fix, cold beer,
coffee, burgers and a bunch of hungry trout. We can probably get anything
else we need at the local fly shop - wherever that may be - Where is the
closest fly shop to the Inn?

Swing a dead cat, use the fur as dubbing and the whatever the cat thumps
will be a fly shop.

And, on another note. Who is attending from Oregon? I would gladly
appreciate them stopping by Freddy's and picking up an assortment of the
Deschutes Brewery products for consumption. I would even reimburse double
the bottle deposit to cover shipping!!!...

JR be the man. Does he need some extra money for delivery?

Another question.
Are licenses available at the Slide Inn? I tried to check with the folks
there but no answer. Also attempted to acquire license online - attempt
failed twice (no ALS#). Arriving Bozeman Friday morning.
Any help appreciated.
Guy

IJ offers--don"t know what a ALS# is but got mine last evening first try.
Google-montana fishing--state fishing rules--had to buy season as 10 day I
bought last year was a little dangerous when fishing for 14 days with a
partner who sometimes leads be into restricted fishing areas.
Or hit the Wall Mart in Bozeman {no credit cards accepted for licenses at
Wall Mart or was the Idaho??]

Idaho, which also doesn't have an online license system. Idaho's fish
and game licensing system is totally screwed up.

Cut "to the chase" for my email address.

Nah. All ya'll'll just keep me in buffalo burgers and chips (NOT buffalo
chips, if you please....) g

Don't know nothin' about Freddy's, but I've already planned to
bring--directly from the source in Bend--a couple cases of Black Butte
Porter and Mirror Pond Pale Ale. Maybe a half case or two of the minor
brews.....

I'll bring two vises, but I'm only bringing a minimum of material--to
those flies I don't think I'll have time to complete before traveling.
I'm pretty much set for nymphs and PMD dries, but I may still need to tie
up some small green drake (flav) sparkle duns and emergers, depending on
what the hatch looks like, as well as some more salmonflies (I usually
limit myself to Clark's Stone--a very simple pattern to tie).

yup, fished Coeur D' Alene this weekend- luckily i had a season license from
steelheading season- but Saturday the statewide computer system crashed and
they couldn't/wouldn't sell licenses to some in our party.

my son in law pulled a really nice largemouth out of Round Lake- using gear.
I tried a popper on his 8 wt and managed a couple of strikes from smaller
fish- but no takes.

ya'll have fun on the Madison.

with the caveat contained in jeffie's post, you are certainly welcome to
use any table in my cabin, for any purpose whatsoever.

Excellent. And for those times you're not behaving yourself (g), I'll
find a picnic table by the river (which itself sounds mighty fine.....)
