    Jeez....I've been tying this fly for 2 years, and just watching you I realized that I'm doing it very slow! Never thought of putting the wire in a bobbin...

  • @discountfliesflyshop1898
    @discountfliesflyshop18983 ай бұрын

    The only trouble we have with the bobbin is if we start with too much wire out of the tip. This causes a lot of turn on the wire at the tip and it can break (just like helicoptering it off when tying other patterns). So, we keep the wire moving through the bobbin.

    For a natural substitute, squirrel or rabbit dubbing (www.discountflies.com/product/M-CCRABB.html) in natural gray would both work well.

SemperFli Sparkle Dub in Gray: www.discountflies.com/product/M-SSDUB.html Arizona Synthetic Dubbing in Hare's Ear.

    Do you know of Andrew Grillos? He's the creator of the Hippie Stomper, '64 Impala, and numerous other flies. He's a genius with foam. He had a stroke several years ago. Part of his recovery was tying flies. He put a lot of it out there on Instagram...everything from the frustrations to the wins. I can't image. I have a lot of respect for that vulnerability and can't imagine what it is like to go through something like that. We will be sending lots of positive thoughts your way for a speedy recovery.
