The feathers and materials are held onto the hook with thread by maintaining tension while wrapping and binding them down. Everything is either wrapped or counter wrapped.

Wow that’s really cool how you make them. How long does it normally take you to make a fly from start to finish?

And I thought I lost two pullets turns out they decided to kick it with the blacks in the trees well one is half black so she probably fits right in haha.

Time really depends on the individual fly. Some are only 3-4 minutes while some might take 30 minutes. I’m almost always putzing around on here or texting or something while I’m doing it though.

Guys got thousands of flies so even 3-4minutes adds up lol

I don’t really watch TV.
I find it boring. I listen to the radio, tie flies and mess with you guys. Occasionally I’ll fish and hunt too.

Whatever floats your boat if more folks would stick with fly fishing or give it a chance you'd be in business. I've probably went 10 times total and I really enjoy it so I plan to keep doing it. Fly tying eh probably not my thing but it gives you purpose in life lol.

3 times to get the wings right. They still aren’t but it’ll catch a bluegill.

I would have a hard time throwing those in the water after all that work.
That one looks like it belongs in a display case.

Any bets on these all being pullets
