Thats pretty cool, Fshng2.

 

Mike W., even a mess up of yours is better than most of mine.

 

Todays hodge podge, including hackle pliers modified with foam. Sick and tired of hackle slipping.

Give yourself some credit my man... you tie some nice stuff.

Sometimes I think twice about posting mine because guys like The Cream,Crackelback,SMF and others blow

My deer hair work away.

The only thing that bugs me about it is I’ve been spinning deer hair for about as long as some of them have been alive or close to it.

And I can’t produce what they do.

I’m not shy or embarrassed..posting and watching them is learning.

I love to share what I’ve learned over the years.

I wasn't satisfied with the first round, so I had to tie more using that better floss wrapping technique.

Better techniques equal better flies in the end I think.

Thanks for the tip.

I came across another oldie that was in a binder of fly patterns from a few years ago.

Thank you for your comments. I consider myself a perfectionist (drives my wife crazy) and cannot be satisfied with a pattern until I can tie it correctly.

Ha, after 30 years of tying, I'm still learning!
