I've been thinking about this idea a little more and have an idea for a fly
pending the answer to these questions:
- can materials be tied to the hook?
- can materials be wrapped over other materials to hold them in place?
For example, can antron yarn if not used as "thread" be tied to the shank
then wrapped forward to form a body, then wrapped over a hackle stem to hold
a wing in place? It's the "material" but also secures the other "material".
Make sense?

How about a contest?
Who can tie the coolest fly without using thread or glue or head cement.
Can do it as a photo contest, so just one needs to be tied. Or more than
one design.
Can use wire as a material, but not as thread.
Example- can use JimmyD's longhorn tail hair, but as a woven or braided
tail, not as tying thread. Dubbing has to be done without thread at all.
Has to be a fishable fly.
Anyone up for that? No schedule or deadline or prize. Can build on
previously submitted flies and tactics to learn and tie your own- just give
credit for ideas to the source.
Pictures taken during the process would be helpful to those learning.
I have a full-blown no-thread stonefly in mind.
Any Takers? No sign-up limit, not a swap. No deadline- it's summertime.
