Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2020 Wow is right! I'm liking this new topic. I've been looking at this fly for about five minutes. I think I'm going to look at it some more. It not only highlights your skills but also your patience and attention to detail. Really nice fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinni 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2020 Wow! And fantastic picture! I'm mesmerized and can almost imagine every wrap being laid down with the clarity of the photo. I'm not currently capable of doing something like that right now, but I'm thoroughly impressed by your skills! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 i always find it mind boggling how that many feather slips are tied down with a minimal amount of thread wraps i struggle with simple wet fly wings 😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took an 8 hour thread control/techniques course from a well known Classic guy, some great tips and tricks to keep bulk down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSMcDougald 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 8 hours on thread control/techniques, that must have been grueling to concentrate on that level of detail for that long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
