I got a little book entitled "Tying Flies With Kreinik Materials," by Harrison Steeves,III. In it he and Ed Kock, Rick Whorwood and Bob Widgren give ideas about using Kreinik brand product to tie flies. Kreinik produces metallic threads, braids, and ribbons for the art needlework community, and it lends itself wonderfully to tying flies.
Dr. Steeves in consultation with Ed Kreinik has gotten the company to put out some colors and products that are specifically for fly tyers, including all of the above products in colors and sizes ideal for tying, with the addition of the foam discs he is famous for using in tying Terrestrials. I've been going nuts with it for the last month or so, and the warm water fish love (or hate?) it. I've had great luck with nymphs and boobies particularly, but am using it for wings on Wulffs and so forth. www.kreinik.com --- Steve, In Maryland ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
