Fly Tying Tip

[Silver Creek]

Every once in awhile, I find a tying tip I have never seen that is so simple and so great that I am compelled to share it. My apologies to to anyone who know this tip already, but it is new to me:

Good share, Silver.

Here is a video of tying the "insult" fly using that technique: (at about the 3 minute mark)

The first time I saw this technique was several years ago in John Barr's book about tying his Copper John. It works OK with the wire but is much more valuable when trying to keep the multi-strand materials together. It works.

I first saw the technique about a year ago on some other video. I thought it was posted to this forum, but it may have been elsewhere. I've been using the technique ever since I saw it, and it works great! I can't believe that it took me 50 years of tying before ever seeing it. I have to think it's been known about for years and everyone thought it was so obvious that it wasn't worth mentioning.

Thanks for bringing it up again!
