Try looking on Ebay for your Jungle Cock cape; but instead of looking under fly tying materials try looking under feathers for making jewelry. I tried this on a whim and wound up getting a beautiful #1 cape for $100.00. Lesser capes in the fly tying materials section were going for at least what I paid and most had bids on them. I was the only one who bid on the one I got.

Daniel,

Thanks for writing.

CP and MS at once! Some people have all the luck, huh?
I know you can live with these diseases. My own MS is under control and I'm doing fairly well. My wife and I have been a part time foster family for a boy with CP since he was 5 (he turns 13 next year), and he is also doing fine and almost always in a good mood in spite of being paraplegic and spastic.
Even though both he and I have our problems, we both live a good life (and a lot of fun racing in our wheelchairs). I can imagine having both diseases at once is really hard, but I hope that both she and you in her family cope and that you manage to go fishing together.

I have had great use of my small pontoon boat and kayaks, enabling me to go on the water, and I'm also able to fish from a boat, which has brought me some nice experiences.

Best wishes for the future to her and the whole family.

Martin. You took my heart away while reading the article. I also have a handicapped daughter with MS added to quadra palsy. I know now I could do something more for her to keep her enthusiasm with fishing. Thanks for great life mentoring lesson. I also hope you constantly to find adaptation to ever changing fishing conditions.
Wish you all the best.
Daniel

The Griffith Knat is definitely a killer fly Thank You Jim for all You do too educate us fly tiers on tying flies.I couldn't begin too tell You how much I've learned..Don. P Commerce Ga.

Stan,

I bought mine in Denmark, but don't remember where. It should be widely available in different forms online and in physical shops, but a fair warning: it's totally useless for tying tube flies. The tube will come loose and spin freely on the mandrel no matter how much you tighten it.

Was this turning rig home built, or is it available commercially? Are the parts available commercially?
Thank you,

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
