You sound like you've learned a few things from Maestro Mcphail! Your tying is a great lesson in trusting your materials. Very tidy and consistent work.

Thank you

Really nice tying, out of curiosity what hen capes/saddles were you using in this video? Were they a particular brand, such as Whiting perhaps?

Cheers mate

Excellent work, great commentary! Do you rewarm your thread wax prior to tying? Thanks

[@silverbarsalmonflies5082]

Thank you. Yes I put the wax between my 2 fingers right down in the crease to warm while I prepare my materials.

[@trehoje]

What kind of wax do you use?

[@silverbarsalmonflies5082]

Hi it’s veniard fly tying wax

[@robinsquires5621]

Awesome work!!! What brand of superglue do you use. I am looking to buy some. Cheers from Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦

[@silverbarsalmonflies5082]

Thank you for the kind words. Super glue is locktite brush on. I cut the brush into a fine point also. Tight lines across the pond

Very tidy tying.......Where do you buy your bucktail........its nice and straight

[@silverbarsalmonflies5082]

Thank you, I buy it anywhere to be fair but its a case of buying 2 or 3 and finding the best one and re selling the rest that don't make the grade. Alot of the companies use a press or hair straighteners to make the fibres lay flat. I've tried it and it works but I'm lazy and prefer the product ready to tie ha ha ha 😂
