Yes. Bill used to use the tip of a bodkin needle to hold the spun body away from the hook (90 degree angle), and then spin the hackle plier to tighten it up a bit, before wrapping the body forward. Easy peasy.
Seems like yesterday- I believe that was Bill‘s last outing.
I really miss that guy.....

I had forgot about this tutorial. I am going to put a link to it on my website at the photo of Bill's Conover Flymph.

I have a Conover that Bill gave me at FlyFest '19.
It's in my collection with some of Wulff, Dette, Betters, and Gartside's ties.
Priceless to me

Carl - Thanks for linking to Bill's tutorial on your site. It is a nice way to honor our friend Bill. Kudos.
Ron - I remember you sitting with Bill at the museum and getting that fly. I was really glad he was able to make it to the event. It was my first time attending the February event at the museum. Hope to see you there again at some point in the future.
