Well done Bob. I believe we all have the same tying environment. I would add one more important thing to your list of tips...a tool organizer. Essential from my point of view.

Thanks, Mike. Like most tying, I have found that staggered hackles need to be done to the correct proportions so it is pleasing to the eye. No formula needed, just sliding them back and forth until they tell me it's right. This is why I like the wing things, as I can do all three at once without tying them down, moving them back and forth until I am pleased with the overall look.

Mark,
Stick with it- we were all newbies at one time. There's no pressure here, so just relax and enjoy the learning experience- a little bit at a time. That teaches your mind to enjoy the learning experiences of all tying rather than it being intimidating. There's little enjoyment here by taking things too seriously.

What an absolutely beautiful streamer pattern. Ted never ceases to amaze me with his choice of flies for presentations such as this and the top shelf quality of his craft.

Since you got this far …

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
