Like you, it came to an end too soon. I had been tying on and off for 20 years
and almost full tine the past 20 years but I have not seen this process done
that way. Don showed me a bit at the Sowbug several years ago but I really did

As long as you mention my DVD's here I will mention I have a two DVD set on
tying, with tying tips and materials for each fly. It includes step by step
tying of the Knitpikin Mayfly, Chili Pepper, Epoxy Minnow and Tony's Froggie
among others, a total of nine flies. Anyone interested,
Nick,
I told Don about the same thing, the two thumbs is the answer. I guess I was
dubbing like you were and had the same results. I got a quick look at Don
dubbing in March of 06 but it was just a glance as I was real busy with the
show.
I have not been able to do much since I got the DVD and

This may rattle some but here is what I do with plastic beads of the right size
that have no recess for the bend clearance. I normally have to do this for the
plastic beads on the WRD. The plastic bead will not go around the bend, If I
force it it will split. If I use a bigger bead
on materials nicely divided into patterns for
the various stages.
And the Valla Catskill book was just as nice and
informative, with lots of photos of the giants of the Catskill flies, their
patterns, and the historic waters.

OK, since you've mentioned wets, I'd be interested in any tips or tricks for
tying in wet fly wings. Mine always look a mashed mess. Do you point the ends
up or down? I await your reply. I'm thinking I might just have to try a few.

Thanks..I shall try this. Do you use the gap of the hook as a measure for wing
width? Joyce

The wings can be down, up, outward or inward. It depends on the pattern. In any

Mike,
For me they are the only thing. I read in the other posts that they are not for
some. I have several types and the Opti Visor is the best for me. I just can't
tie with a Magnifier Light, I wear bifocal glasses and a 5X lens in the visor.
I can look through my bifocals at things on the

Tony,
I have bifocals as well. Do your Opti-Visors have the small magnifier len(s)
that adds to the strength of the primary one or is it one lens?

Ok, nice topic.
Here is my
Wes,
This works well, I use 1 gallon plastic zip lock bags. Really makes things
simple. I carry five bags for the five flies I normally tie at shows. I see no
need to carry a load of stuff I will not be using. As for the hooks, I have a
12 compartment box that will cover any hooks I might need.
Bob,
I go along with Mike on this. I have about 20 vises, I collect them, and each
have their own pros and cons. I have a Danvise and can find a number of things
that don't suite me but others love them. I have a Regal that is a fast
production vise but if your hands are bad, squeezing the
Quality and Service for the most part. As I mentioned, I have a number of
vises. If I chip the jaws on my 80.00 vise, I might as well chuck it. The
company is no longer in business. I have another lower priced vise that had
worn out jaws. If I want to replace them, O have to buy the new
