I have been thinking of a way to make jewlery using tying techniques I never though ot using a barbless hook for ear rings. What a great idea.

Thanks guys. I've got the daughter talking to her

friends and who knows like longears said, some of

the kids might like to try tying and fishihg. ( beats the

hell out of walking around looking down at their phones)

At my local fly shop, usually there are at least 1 or 2 women who make jewelry roaming about, but I doubt any of them use the hooks!

I also had one of these girls in my class a couple years back, and she started giving me her leftovers - if it wasn't a long, straight, uniformly colored feather, she didn't want it. So I got nearly a couple of capes of hackle feathers for free....
