I tied some green drake Quigley cripples last night in size 12. I had no problem finding 12's and 10's on a Whiting bronze grade grizzly cape. Got 2 or 3 flies from each feather.

Chugbug27 with Charlie Craven for the win. I'm thinking that when you're tying in biot tails and/or wingcases you might be anchoring them down at a point where the biot is too wide for the size and bulk of the fly you're tying. In other words you don't always have to anchor your biot at the base of it.

Always great work Steve.

Other than your vise, what is the most important tool

I got you beat George. 4 for me. Two on the left an incandescent (60 Watt I believe, might be more) and an Ott light. A duplicate incandescent on the right and an LED right down the middle. I'm not sure there's such a thing as too well lit (bourbon excluded). -

I chose scissors too. Glasses are the next in line. Why scissors first? Because for size 12 and larger I can see well enough. Not that I really tie anything that big unless it's salmon flies or streamers. -
Pics cut for brevity. Excellent job, sir!

The prices are amazing particularly compared to Dyna-King and Renzetti.
-
I'm more than happy with my Dyna-King pro. But the more I look at the Cottarelli the more intrigued I get.
-
I do wonder. I know that since the Mayfly buy of Dyna King it's basically, if not, impossible to get new midge jaws for my Pro.

Love it
-
That would be a hat trick for Mayfly.
-
Hmmm, are they trying to corner the vise market? Same company bought Dyna-King just a while ago.

Pretty easy tie also, which makes it even better.

Thanks Mark. It worked really well the last two times out.
