How do the pros get the wire on the C.J. to taper so fast? When I tie my wire in with enough wraps so that it doesn’t twist, there is a thick place at the tie-in that keeps the taper from forming.
Try these instructions. They may help. [url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/020204fotw.html:647cb]http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/020204fotw.html[/url:647cb]

As per the FAOL instructions:
>>You could “kink” the wire with your thumb nail here to start the winding process.<<
Works every time!
herefishy… go to the sponsors section here and look for Troutflies.com. Harry has some great tutorials there and one is the CJ. He explains this pattern in a step by step method and accompanies each step with photographs.
