The second, and the last fly were my favorites. Outstanding ties!

Thanks for the information. Was thinking I might have
to soak them first as some folks do with Biots...

I really like those in the second photo and I appericate
you taking the time to tye them up for their "Close-up".

Excellent variation, great material control and execution.

Hi all..
I actually dont think it´s nececary to soak these except if I prepare them in blech. Take it easy with the first wrap tying the quill in, and also the first wrap when winding the quill, not to hard it might cut the quill.

How in the World do you get the quills to behave
for the 20's & 22's ?????

I know for a fact that Nik has a special thread prepared from the factory with quill and hackle. Three thread wraps. Done.
