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.

" I think we agree that catching fish is kind of the whole point to all of this." Now it all makes sense to me. I knew I was missing something.

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.

Sounds just perfect.

That's what matters. Enjoy as you seem to be.

Thanks. Classic river for dry fly fishing. Love it up there. We fished the Teton River one day too. One of the most gorgeous rivers I've fished. Nice 'bows and native cutts in it.

Thanks
