I like using Uni Mylar thread for spinning hair. It seems to be the stronger of the threads. I don't know what size it is because the label has disappeared. It does small to very large flies (1/0)...

BANG-BANG!
Two Wood ducks!
Starling for me too!
Wow Scott, I really enjoy seeing your SBS's. Your photography is excellent (when compared with anyone elses), and your descriptions are precise and to the point. Keep up the great work.
Michael...
I like this one... looks wooly bugger fishy!!!
Michael
:D
If texture shows in your photo, then you probably have focused more on the background than the fly. Make sure the fly is in focus, and your f-stop is wide open. You won't have any more trouble with...
+I agree... great fly
Okay all you comedians... I just so happens that I was in a fly shop last year that had a package of "fake" jungle cock. :shock: It was impossible to see the "fake jungle cock" due to the packaging,...
I agree... REAL nice Scott
Michael
Scott... did you get a new camera? These last two SBS's are excellent.
Michael
Personally I don't think you can ever do better than the Master... I don't have one, I only have a Traveler, however I've used the Master and it is one great vise. ;)

No Kidding!
Spun green deer hair in the shape of a Christmas Tree.

I will donate a dozen (or more if I have time)... PM me and let me know where to mail them.
I agree... however I do use a lot of Tiemco BL (barbless) hooks in those sizes.
I'm sick of it! Not buying UTC again... It happens on both 70 and 120 in any color... I had troubles with my black.
I would definitely use a burner. Mainly because of the problems of keeping a cutter sharp, but also because it is faster, and you already are holding the feather in the burner tweezers which makes...
I use biots on my wets also. Only because it is a "natural" element of the fly. I realize that you could argue about dubbing, but I mean "natural" as in feathers... It just works better for me. :cool:
A tossup between a TMC 100BL and a 900BL for me too... I tend to buy the 100BL more because it is what is most predominately available at the fly shop I use. But, they are pretty much interchangeable.
