I thought is might be a good idea if any of you wanted to share some tips or tricks you have discovered that might be beneficial to the fly tying community. Doesn't have to be earth shattering .... just something that helps save you time or something that makes tying easier for you.

I have been using fingernail clippers for a long time when I tie. I find they aid me in getting a closer cut, thus, eliminating a lot of build-up on the fly. They work well on feathers, synthetics, wire, lead, and particularly on goose biots. I use the cheap fingernail clippers because they work well enough; sometimes you can get them 2 for a dollar.

Hope this helps. Are there any tips you could share?
