Just wanted to shout out a thank you to many people on this site. I am glad I found this site and spend time on it everyday. It was a tough 2012 for me and you all made it much better. I hope you all...
Many people seem to have never seen the technique. I have yet to have any biots crack or break and for some reason (could be just me) it seems to make the fly and biots more durable when tied that way
