This thought is related to the theme of repairing flies. I had a guy tell me once that he admired a certain person's tying so much that he put the man's flies in his vise (one at a time) and disected them. Took them apart, so he could learn from the tying methods, etc. Anyone ever take another tier's flies apart to learn from them?

Once something comes undone some else is sure to follow. You can slow this down by throwing in a couple whips after each step. The whips build up less bulk the a half hitch.

Do you every repair a fly after you have used it? Or do you toss it? How many cut the materials off and start again? Rick
