Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2017 They're not great for holding feathers like as in a hackle pliers Mike - I agree - but they do make a great way to hold a fly for a picture?! KIMO - ho do you get the background to be soooo black? Nice tie again... and pic. BCT Black velour paper and position it back far enough that no light falls on it. Thats about a foot or more behind the fly.Then I have so much light on the fly that the background is under-exposed(really dark). Kimo Kimo, you being you, it must be hard to out do yourself, but you do. March flies have been top shelf work. Thanks for posting... Carry On...
