Here are a couple more really simple tips for fly tying,
straight from the grocery store.
1. The LaCross cuticle trimmer (#75920) It's like a nail
clipper, but the working edge is angled rather than straight.
It gets real close for trimming threads at the tie off, and
cleans up any out of place hair or dub fibre. About $1.25.
2. Hearts Mountain flea comb. Little metal comb set in plastic
type handle with ribbed grip. Cleans out under fur from deer
hair, for stacking (or wings, or whatever!). About $3.00.
3. Little plastic cups for condiments (or if you purchase flies,
the little cup you get the flies in), when lined with a cupcake
paper, makes a great re-usable mixing cup for epoxies.
