  1. As far as trapping hair there is a simple solution, after tying in clump, cut a square of plastic bag and cut a slice in it, that allows you to pass it through the thread followed by wrapping it around bundle. I then use a bag clamp to hold back hair then work forward, give it a try.
  2. I tie my the way Chris Helms showed me, (for the mouse ), tie in back section up to where the ears go. Then I trim that section, add the ears followed by one clump ( top and bottom). Then trim that, add whiskers followed by final clump. Then I carefully trim around the whiskers and steam for final trim
  3. Simply pull em up or down and get in with the ✂️
  4. More mice, 4/0 ; 1/0 ; #1 Belly is natural white, top is Mule deer with moose mane whiskers and mono eyes
  5. With the fine silks it is recommended to burnish in same direction as wrapping, more back and forth vertically, opposed to right to left ( back and forth).
  6. Now that’s what I’m talking about! You got it now
  7. Nice job on these. The only critique would be matching size hook to pattern your tying, in the case of the popper, body seems too long, start actual stacking just in front of hook point. Diameter normally is equal to ( or a tad bigger), from tip of hook to top of shank.

  10. Another one in the books
  11. Hey guys, been thinking about a better tying chair and finally picked one up. Got say it was money well spent, has adjustable arm rests, so because I use a vise extension, I can rest elbows while tying, very nice
  12. Absolutely, I’m a member of Michigan Fly Fishing Club and over the years we’ve brought him in. It was great to personally get to know Chris, and I still order most of my hair through Whitetail Fly Tieing, you can call them up and tell em exactly what length you need. Great place
