I would contact who you got them from and see if you can return them. Rick

I like this one. Will tie some up in smaller sizes using turkey body feathers. Rick

Got some very nice flies in the mail today. Also some nice materials. Thanks to all the Tiers and many thanks to the Meister for his work. Rick

A Catholic Priest was teaching a young Sunday Scholl class. He asked "Why do I wear this collar?" One of the young students replies. "Because it kills ticks and flees for months."

You will get as many suggestions as there are people. There are many flies that work. I use many that other folks don't used. Rick

For single wire I usually helicopter it off. Do 5 wraps of thread and the when the wire is off take 3 wraps off. For dubbing brushes I use a wire cutter as it is two strands of wire twisted. Rick
