Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2023 RS2 Hook - tiemco 101size 20 Thread - Gray 12/0 veevus Tail - Tan micro fibbets Body - Light olive and Adams gray. Wing - a loop of green Krystal flash on one and white Antron on the other and my Rim Chung knock off vice. I have more of a bend in the stem because I didn’t like how upright his is. Next fly is Lefty’s Deceiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It solidly holds small hooks but I did try three different forceps before I found the one that worked the best. When I first saw the simplicity in it and Rim Chung tying on his, I just had to make one for myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
