Thanks Rover.

Invisible vise company?

My understanding of the current nomenclature is that "Wonder Wings" have one feather for each wing, with its fibers pulled back and tied in . "Wally Wings" were developed by someone named Wally Lutz and are formed from a single feather with its stem split into two wings.

Damn, that is pretty!

I don't know about those specific weights, but lead sheets cut to similar shapes were used, by some, under the mylar tubing on Zonkers to shape and keel the body. Where did you see these?

Has to be scissors. Some materials can be broken off, but there aren't many flies I could tie without using scissors at some point.

Lance Egan meets Ray Bergman. I like it!

Really nice ties, Fruitrollup and Norm. But isn't it August?

For Stimulators, you could try making a wrap or two of dubbed thread over the Elk, behind where it's cinched down with bare thread.

Here is a short video of Harry Lemire tying a Salmon Fly in hand. Unfortunately it only shows a few steps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWilXi1uCV4

It was discontinued several years ago. I bought several bottles back then and still have one full. With one tiny drop per fly it lasts a long time and doesn't seem to thicken too bad.

I've never had much trouble with biots, but other quills I either just soak in a wet paper towel or treat with hair conditioner.
