BrookTroutAngler 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2012 TransparANT and AttractANT bodies. All they need is a turn or two of hackle. I have Harrison Steeve's book Fly Tying With Foam, Fur, and Feathers and have been thinking I need to tie some of those up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I frequent another forum (Flymphforum) that he is very active in. He's got a bunch of videos on YouTube that are fascinating to watch. Hans ties are always very clean and crisp. Take a look at some of the videos, linked from his web site - fantastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have Harrison Steeve's book Fly Tying With Foam, Fur, and Feathers and have been thinking I need to tie some of those up! BTA, I like to tie a half dozen or so bodies at a time and then put them on the cork to apply the 5min epoxy. The cork has a pin in the opposite end that is held in the jaws of the rotary vise. A manual rotary drying wheel, of sorts. It's much more efficient to epoxy several bodies at once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
