Looks good now, that’s a great looking weed guard -
Thx George, few dozen more I’ll and I’ll get the proportions dialled in. Gotta say, taking a razor to the ones I’m not happy with is satisfying in its own right.

Thx George, Dave posted some tying instruction on the Classic Salmon fly facebook page.

Working a Dave Carne’s tying course, it’s quite the resource he has made available.

Very neat, I took my 5yo to watch the eclipse and she has been pretty space focused since then. My telescope will be headed to her room once her little sister stops destroying her stuff just for fun.

Well done Vic. Tim, enjoy your cement well and may your bench be forever spill free. -
I may be wrong but I think they are speaking about adding enough thread to effectively close the gap where the wire of the eye comes around to meet the shank on an older(and some newer) hooks. There can be a small gap at that point the tippet can fall out of and even a rough edge that the tippet can get cut on. New hooks are better and this gap is almost negligible but if you are using 30D nano silk or other fine thread it might even slip into the eye when finishing the head.
