Heff2 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2024 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalarMan 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2024 Arthur - I used to refer to myself as George the Ripper because of my tendency to use the razor when unhappy with a fly. I learned not to rush into that too quickly. Flies you tie now that aren't up to your personal standards serve as a benchmark for what you tie down the road. Keep them around for a spell for their learning curve value. - George Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
