Re: Dark Watchet
Very kind of you Roy, but I have not tied a fly in well over over 14 months.
It would be wasted on me, I seem to have awkward cataracts, I don't know when I'll be tying again.
Bui I can use my laptop with a magnifying glass.
Ach well! I've never died a winter yet. LOL

Re: YLI silk thread 100
I have ordered some YLI, will report in due course. I also use other threads than Pearsall. Here is a Spider using UNI pale blue thread, gray 'possum touch dubbed and [obviously] starling hackle.

Straight eyed hooks
For quite a while now, I have preferred to tie my Spiders and Flymphs on s/e hooks. I know some others do as well. Any opinions on this, pro or con, or indifferent?

Re: Sylvester Nemes on Bead Heads...
I very much agree with Sylvester Nemes. I have tied a few spiders and flymphs with beads but I did not really like them. Nymphs OK. but flymphs and spiders are meant to be fished, at or just below the surface and weighting them with a bead defeats that. There are no rules carved in stone, and if yo...

Nothing to d...
