Favorite Fly Tying Beverage

[Mike Wilson]

I have been knocking out some flies this afternoon and poured a nice Makers Mark and Coke to keep me company. I had one more and I would swear the quality of my flies is improving. What do you use to improve the quality of your flies? :)

[Mike Wade]

Jim Beam, but the quality only improves up to point.

[jeff bandy]

I likes me Porto.

Funny how this thread is repeated every year....

[scottflycst]

Funny this is how repreated my fread is evry rear...

[Eric Tarcha]

makers on the rocks or a nice single malt (Glenmorangie port wood finish)...

but sometimes just a nice cold high life or rainier does the trick too.

Bud light

[Wayne Kohan]

Black Butte Porter. I wonder if the fish get a taste of it as I use my spit when dubbing??

JOSE CUERVO "BLACK" :p and a splash (drop) of coke on the rocks! Keep feedin' them to me and I keep producing the flies :thumb:

[dryflylarry]

[twinlakesleach]

Crown rocks or 7 & 7

The quality of your flies only improves til you sober up:clown:. Milk's my beverage of choice, but since this is clearly a thread about alcohol, I'm going to have to go with Henry Weinhard's Blue Boar:beer2:.

[WT99]

PBR!

Larry, do yourself a favor and get yourself a fifth of crown.....much smoother than the velvet :thumb:

At the bar, at the vice, and just about anywhere I like to sip a cutty and water. You might ask why, and ill answer.................. Have you seen the movie goodfellas?

[gigharborflyfisher]

Water....

[Chironomid Guy]

A good red merlot works for me.

[ctyazfan]

PBR for the hot summer nights...

Basel Haydens during the fall and winter....

and no the quality does not improve with either.

[Flyborg]

Rock Star, it makes me less shaky :)

[thewaker]

Jack and coke of course. Easy on the coke. Tie fast or drink slow it's your choice!

[SmokinAces]

A 40 OF OLD ENGLISH, or a STEEL RESERVE... that will grow some hair on your chest!

[fly punk]

Just a Coke. I tried the 12 pack of miller lite, but all my flies started to look like something a cat would spit up. :eek:

[Ron McNeal]

I prefer the Orvis' Reserve line of Fly Tying Waters. They're not cheap, but they definitely will improve your tying efforts. My dry flys, particularly after a couple of glasses of the Au Sable Reserve Water, are superb. The Neversink Springs Reserve is a great accompaniment when tying wets and nymphs. The Rangley Reserve goes well with traditional streamers. Give 'em a try.......

[Dinker]

A good micro IPA or a glass of red wine does the trick for me!

[Jerry Arlington]

If you like Crown, buy Potter's Crown and you'll never send that much money again!

[obiwankanobi]

I usually go with 12yr old Glenlivet on ice.

[bigguy]

A shot or two of tequila seems to do the trick. A nice fuzzy head makes for nice fuzzy flies. :)

[BruceT]

Laphroaig 12 yr single malt in a snifter

[William Wallace]

But those are the ones that catch fish! You should carry atleast two boxes with you at all times. The one box that catches fish and the other one to catch the fisherman. Just a Coke. I tried the 12 pack of miller lite, but all my flies started to look like something a cat would spit up. :eek:

Copenhagen cappucino

[H2O]

Grandma Sweeney's Country Quencher, in the green bottle. If I am out of that, I'll hit the Thunderbird or Mad Dog 20/20.

[kingpuck]

Oh with out a doubt its all about the Gentleman's Jack.

Bud light

Surely you jest?:rofl:

[luv2fly2]

busch light. in othello more b.l. is sold than any other beer. mike w

[Mumbles]

I have to be really focused or I'm buying flies. A good micro brew, but rarely two or more otherwise I'm wasting time, materials and again...buying flies.

[Jim Speaker]

I usually have a St Pauli Girl, Becks or one of the many fine beers from New Belgium brewery in Colorado... or two... or three. It tends to go from what I need towards what would be fun to experiment with about 1/2 way into #3. :beer1:
