Too bad the rest of the world doesn’t tie flies and fish....... I'm glad the rest of the world doesn’t tie flies and fish....... FIFY. A very good point, Mr.bb........... I remember very clearly what transpired after “the movie”. fwiw, I was waning philosophically, due to my lack of fishing....Apol...

Why don’t you take the “start drinking early” approach, and see what comes out????

Very nice, Carl....... is the tail a few fibers from the same feather? Also what type of thread did you use for the head?

Our craft has so many options, choices and variables; yet we all come together and embrace these differences. Too bad the rest of the world doesn’t tie flies and fish.......

Extra fancy partridge feather you have there...... i’ve never seen one quite like it. Very nice!
Dana

I would say a major score- very nice!!

Many thanks!

Of course you had to buy the PEX cutter......... which incidentally is very handy for cutting through thick feather stems

I learned using Prismacolor markers from Ted Niemeyer...... he loved them, I really don’t.

Pantone’s and Sharpies work for me, mostly on threads and quill bodies.


Some people worry about the residual smell - do any of you have that concern??
