  1. Very nice tie. Is that Temple Dog for the wing?
  2. Day 5, I too use the Dr. Slick TC and love them, but have had problems with the set screw. I keep a precision screwdriver at my bench and tweak them when needed. I just joined this board, it's good to see you on here. I went to seminary with Lon and heard all about your fearless jump into commercial tying. Never thought I would actually recognize a poster!
  3. Hey all. I am new to the site, but immediately saw this thread on my favorite style of flies. I am a tie by the tip guy as well. While Nemes demonstrates tying in by the butt in his early books I heard an interview with him later in his career where advocated tying in by the tip. The reason given was that the hackle fibers at the tip are thinner and more flexible, important because the natural action of the hackle in the water is the key to it's success. I tried to find that interview to post a link but couldn't remember it's location on the web.
