Chris Helm ties The Rattlesnake Slider using stacking techniques. In addition to the stacking hair portion of the fly, Chris Helm goes through installing rubber legs, splayed hackle tails, plus installing a hair collar and elevated eyes. Hair quantity and control are discussed, along with questions and answers from both tyers. Wayne Samson demonstrates a full medium round rubber tail popper. The hair bug features spun hair that has been "mixed" to create a marble effect on the bug's body. The extra large "Godzilla" stacker is featured along with explanation of spinning repeated clumps of hair with trapping any hair that has already been placed on the hook.

The entire popper is shaped using a double edged razor blade. Proportions are emphasized along with burning holes for the solid plastic eyes and creating a hard face on the bug to facilitate noise when stripped through the water. Chris and Wayne discuss the fly and pertinent aspects of tying with hair. Chris Helm of Whitetail Fly Tieing Supplies has been tying flies for 35 years. His demonstration and workshop travels have taken him to eight European countries and throughout the US and eastern Canada. Although he is well known for his study of whitetail deer and working with deer hair, he ties and teaches all types of flies.

In 2004 The Federation of Fly Fishers' presented him with the Buz Buszak Memorial Fly Tying Award, which is the highest award available to any tier. He has written numerous articles on deer hair, thread, specific fly patterns for various fly fishing and fly tying magazines both in the USA and abroad. Since l993 he has completed 11 fly tying DVDs. He enjoys all types of fishing but has a special love for bonefish, permit, bass, bluegill, grayling and pike.

Wayne Samson of Glenn River Fly Company has been fly-fishing and tying flies for nearly fifteen years. Originally a warm water fisherman he started by experimenting with bass bugs using deer hair. Soon after, he met Chris Helm. Chris has rounded out Wayne's tying, especially deer hair, and considers Wayne to be perhaps his best student. Wayne's specialty remains deer hair bugs and hair work in general but he also has great breadth and depth in other areas such as epoxy flies, saltwater flies, classic Atlantic salmon flies and all trout flies. Chris and Wayne discuss the fly and pertinent aspects of tying with hair. The Rattlesnake, Wayne's Rubber Tail Popper

Best non-slip no show sock!
Size: 6-10, Color: Black
I love these socks! I wear them mostly with my slip on vans. The are thin so your feet can breathe (I hate thick socks). They have a grip on the heal so that they don't slip off of your feet, and it actually works! My only negative about these socks would be that if you have bigger than a size 8 foot, I would not purchase them because they do run a bit small. I wear a size 7 and they fit perfectly! They do look very tiny upon unpacking, but they stretch to the according size. I would also recommend letting them air dry after washing them and not putting them in the dryer. The first pair I purchased, I made the mistake of drying them and they shrank to an unbelievably small size. I've had my second set of socks for over 4 months now and have not had any problems since Ive been air drying them. I have not encountered any problems with them tearing as other have stated. Even though these are thin socks, they seem to be made quite well in my opinion.

I buy these again and again through the years!
Size: Medium, Color: Austin Brown Assorted (6-pairs)
Love these. After a year or two I wear holes in the bottoms because I wear them so much. Worth the little bit higher price because of the fit and comfort. Love how they are truly no show

Good quality but tight on toes
Size: 6-10, Color: White/Assorted
These are great socks that stay in place, but they scrunch my toes together like crazy. My feet are normal width. When I first started wearing them I noticed my feet would ache after an hour or two.

My New Favorite Socks
Size: 6-10, Color: Halo Gray/Assorted
These have quickly become mine and my mom's favorite socks. We wear them with tennis shoes, Hey Dudes, and more. The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable, they do not budge/fall in my shoe, and are extremely well made. I have become so attached to these socks, that I no longer want any other brand.
