SilverCreek 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2020 For me, whether to half hitch between steps is decided by whether I lose more time half hitching than I save on the rare occasions that the fly unravels. So I don't half hitch because it takes me more time than I save. I can't remember the last time a fly unravelled on me. I know it has been years. I suppose as half hitching becomes an "automatic" part of a fly tier's routine, the equation could flip and a person could save more time by half hitching. Or if a person ties really complicated patterns or show flies like the classic Salmon Fly Patterns, it would be important to half hitch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
