I have guitars, and lord knows I work with many (Rock and Roll), just never thought of using left overs. Just no nylon in R&R.

Very nice work making those flies, how long does it take or hard is it to get the string material to stay on the hook as pictured? The flies look very lifelike.

The Nylon string is not that hard to wrap, but you do need to keep some tight pressure on it until you get it cinched, or it will explode off of the hook. And you need to cinch it down real good before turning loose of it, at least 15 to 20 tight wraps. Kevlar thread would be great for this because you could really put some tension on it, without it breaking. And there would be little danger of cutting the nylon with it.
Saw somewhere steel guitar strings bent and tied in as weed guards on streamers. Looked good.
Good looking pattern!
