Steve: I use a Nor-vise, and also the Auto-bobbin. I can't imagine tying on anything else. After you use the automatic bobbin, and become accustomed to it, try switching back to a regular bobbin and you will realize all the reasons that it is such a valuable tool. Good luck.

I tied late last night for the Dry fly swap, its done now and I can move on and finifh the Bass fly swap. I had just got a new Norlander auto bobbin so I got a burst of energy. I also was directed to a web site that has really been a blessing, a step by step. God I love this sport.

Apparently the most popular colors are red and yellow, but creativity abounds here, and I'll bet that there are a lot of tiers on this list who use other colors for the Humpy body. Try a chartreuse floss, or even orange chenille. How about tinsel. I've tried them all. If you can make room for all the ingredients, you could try a royal humpy. A peacock body is alway a good color.
