    Good tips, although I hope that I am never in so much of a hurry that I have to actually use most of that stuff.

    What's the big hurry ? I tie because I enjoy it, not to be "fast"

    Night Angler,

    Thanks for sharing. I can see where several of those tips will help my day to day tying. Several confirm practices that I already use. I have very mixed feeling about the suggestion that says don't handle material too frequently. Does that mean that I can't stroke my cree cape an extra time or two, when I extract a hackle? 8T

    Night Angler,

    Thanks for the post on tying tips. If you really want to see some more great tying tips go to the left, in the menu, click on Fly Tying, then click on Tying Tips and go to the bottom of that page and click on Archive of Tying Tips. There is some really great tips there and a lot that will make you mumble to yourself on why you never thought of them! I always tell my tying students to read them all. There are quite a few and they are really great and helpful.

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    Gramps had a 3rd Grade Education, before he was put to work, by his father in 1900. He was one of the smartest men I had the pleasure to know. He was not my Grandfather (I had none, but my friend who did not have either his Mother or Father, had a Grandfather, so we adopted each others families!)
