Hi everyone,
First off, a WELL DONE to mike bliss for hosting the go- to swap!!
I just got the bunch of flies back, and all i can say is... WOW! I
have to apologize, yet again, for being so late with my flies...
On another note, congrats to DonO for his deer-hair flies in the
recent issue of 'The Art of Angling Journal'! These flies (and
admittedly others) got me thinking... How, exactly, does one
incorporate 'tiger-print patterns' into the spun hair? I have the fly
tyer's benchside reference, but don't even know what to look up...
Also, how does one incorporate feathers in the fly and still spin
completely around the feather? (I'm thinking of the turtles using
english jay for the flippers, for those who have access to the recent
journal).
I hope these questions are clear enough... Tight wraps and lines,
Pete
