I'll go with the razor blade, thanks. Where I to donate them I'd be accused of child cruelty, and I can't afford to lose the few friends I have!

I'm trying to narrow the variety of flies I use here in Florida. I have a bunch of useless or poorly tied flies - size 1's and 2's, mostly - that need to be dumped, but the hooks are good. I [almost] feel guilty about just throwing them away. Without having to strip each fly individually, is there a way I can clean the hooks without damaging them? I'm thinking over a fire but that could draw the temper. Maybe it's not worth the effort. Ideas?

Thanks, guys! I'll have to give those a try. I read your article and enjoyed it, Bob.

I've heard of a worm fly for bass in Florida. Any suggestions?

Here it is: The Shuttle Atlantis Fly Tying Contest

I just saw the space shuttle launch and was wondering if there's a shuttle fly. I'll check around online but do any of you know? If i find it online can I post a link to it here?

Need a pattern or a few for worm flies for bass here in Florida. It's hot so we're fishing deep of course. Thanks ahead of time!
