Fly Tying
Claudia

Flies from the vice.

Recommended Posts

I have been tying a bunch of these, so far I haven't fished any. I am using a magnet to hold them on the base of a travel vise clamp. When they rest on the water, they land with the body and tail more upright.

I have usually seen this done more with feathers than hair. Good as far as it goes, but you need a third pair of legs.

True, but it was my first attmpt and I didn't have enough hair on it to go three. The next twenty should look better.
