Hello Ginger, In I think last month's Fly Tyer there is a nice instruction on Spey flies.
I myself have not ever tied a SPEY fly but yet I am hosting. I figure if you can palmer a duck feather - just keep stroking the fibers as you wrap; this shouldn't be too hard. Just the counter-wound ribbing is the trick - but a slow and methodical wrap should do the trick. Anyone that is participating in the Whiting Spey Hackle swap should sign up for this fly swap. Byard mentioned that the hackles should arrive in another week to the individuals. Good Luck. Thanks, Chris. -----Original Message----- From: Ginger Allen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [VFB] Spey Fly Swap That is a beautiful fly, Hans. And I would love to learn these techniques. I need a demonstration. I was disappointed when I went to the New Jersey Fly tying symposium and all the salmon fly tyers were taking breaks whenever I got a chance to walk around. They managed to tie one fly per day. How's a girl supposed to learn? Anyone coming to Florida? Maybe I can learn in West Yellowstone. Guess I'll have to pass on this swap..........................
