Hans, Howdy;

Thank You Sir. That's astounding. !!

I still feel that I'd end up with my fingers tied to the vise ;)
The small river back in Utah is fairley fast during the run-off period.
a few of these may find a place there to be effective.

Thanks again,

hank

Izaak, Howdy;

Only hurt my lower jaw when it hit the table top.
Hurt only for a moment, viewing the video was
the cure. ;)

Nice video, I missed this one before. I have never seen a Tummel fly tied before. Looks easy enough!

Oh, is this another fly that you make LOOK EASY, but in actuality, it isn't? LOL...that very well might be.

Kelly,
Only one way for you to find out 8-)
The flies are simple enough - almost all my flies are. These are critical on making each turn of thread, each application of material count. Looking forward to your result.

Hans - I have a couple questions about the delicate wing. Is that slip of partridge tail folded before it is tyed in (to get the same coloration on both sides)? I have seen these done with two small slips, placed back-to-back. Others use a single slip folded length wise. Yours looked like just a single slip, unfolded. I'm curious to know your thoughts on how best to do the wing.
