    Thank you for the tip. I have some of those and found them to be useless too. Glad you demonstrated their use with those adjustments. Wishing you all the best for 2024

    I use hollow pen tubes with different diameter tip holes to slide over the hook eye up against the hackle and a couple or more thread wraps over the pen tip as a half hitch tool to secure the hackle where I want it and avoid trapping hackle fibres! Also useful to push against clumps of spun deer hair to compact it and secure each clump as you build a spun deer hair body for bass bugs and Atlantic Salmon flys! Been tying for 56 years and using pens this way for about 35! Enjoy your videos which I came across yesterday! Thanks!

    The Sparrow is a fly I am quite fond of and the one thing I do to make the aftershaft feather more durable is to twist it up the thread and then wrap around the hook shank.
    How does one go about joining your tying group?
