Could try emailing him: [email protected]. His second book "A fine Line" is still available. Iain Iain, Thanks for the response; I’ll contact him and see if there are any copies left. If not, I’ll order A Fine Line. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His original flies had wings of married red and white duck quill sections. About 1935 this was changed to hair wings. This was a period strongly influenced by Jim Pray, when a number of patterns made the transition. Fish Flies: The Encyclopedia of the Fly Tier's Art - Terry Hellekson Another beauty flytire. I know you told me in the past you use UV resin on your perfect heads. I have several different Solarez types. What specifically do you use?

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2022 Thanks everybody. I decided to eat a pizza and tie another. Nothing like a good pizza to pick up the spirits. This time I did a 14 because I think I used up all the decent size 12 hackles on my cape. I’ll have to get another. It lasted me a good long time.
