[Steven]

Some good tips. Dubbing ball in the left hand was a new one, but deer skin on my lap is not happening.

No, not going to tie commercially any time in the next 15-20 years.

But I do try to speed up my own tying. And I've been reading and re-reading Valla's Catskill Dry Fly book, so the whole commercial thing has piqued my interest.

In my head, I should be able to tie an Adams, with everything laid out, easily in 5 minutes. In reality, it takes me about 12 minutes.
