Heff2 0 Report post Posted March 12 Gadabout, are you a calligrapher? That’s a beautiful sheet of flies. Bruce, I would start selling these hookless as wife scaring tool, ahem, cat toy. There is lots of fun to be had with those critters and some tippet. I’m still muddling away trying to get the wings and head right in the same fly. Do you have tips to get a consistent bunches of hair? I find I lose a varying amount in cleaning. It’s improved a bit since I got a flea comb I still struggle with consistency.

My little world Buy the best and strongest light you can afford. You WILL NOT regret it!! If you think you need 2X magnifiers...buy 2.5X. I know from experience.

john1962 0 Report post Posted March 14 Bought from HF, works great light and magnifier, @10 inches away from my vise Swings and pivots but don't get in the way of tying. Tied a fly yesterday and posted it, was very happy with the outcome. Tightlines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
