Fish For Life 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2016 You have worked your hardest to get the perfect spun hair fly tyed, then over trim it and ruin the whole thing. What are some of your "dont you hate it when" fly tying moments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crackaig 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2016 What I hate most is the fastest way to find that material, you thought you had, is to buy more, because you just can't find it. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave G. 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2016 Can't find my red squirrel tail, good I was tying with grey. But where is that red ? ! As far as tying, I have a couple of gripes with my tying. One is narrow as I thought I cut that V in the bottom of the caddis hackle it really is too wide for my taste. Another is , "oh this hook will be fine instead of that one", tie the fly and it isn't fine. My gold oval tinsel molts, a new spool is like $1.58 but !

Bryon Anderson 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2016 ....when you sit down at your tying desk/bench, only to discover that you've got a good 15 minutes of cleanup from the last session ahead of you before you can even find your scissors, let alone start tying ...when you're right in the middle of some exacting deer hair-trimming work, and the razor blade slips and slices a fingertip, which proceeds to bleed forEVER ...when you get yourself all nice and settled in--beverage of choice at hand, materials and hooks all laid out, good music queued up, cares of the world just starting to drift away--and then your wife calls down the stairs something like, "Don't forget we have to leave for dinner with my parents in 10 minutes!"

Dave G. 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2016 Day two, I still don't know where my red squirrel tail has gotten to. I thought last time I used it I broke it up into two pieces so it could fit right in my tying box. That being the case one would think it would be in the tying box LOL !
