Or should I say - lack of vice tying - yup - by hand - bobbin, hook, materials, hand.

Got the dumb notion the other nite to give it a go. #18 Dry hook, pheas. tippets, charcoal darning chord, black hackle - came up with a basic black gnat/midge. Killer on some late year trout around here.
Yup - it worked .... now I still have a dumb notion of trying other flies - by hand.

Just wondering - if anyone else tries/does this.
