Folded, using scissors blade, and tip-tied made it a little easier to manage. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’d be fun to see how the trout react to something like this. Regards, Scott Never thought to use a GP tippet for a shoulder…makes the fly visually pop & zing.
