Vert inventive Sandy

aye, maybe so, but what I want to know is what happened to the old detergent bottles and sticky-backed plastic.

Same as everyone else - except I don't use a gallows tool or whip finisher. One thing I couldn't do without is my dubbing spinner.

I know it's not an everyday flytying tool, but i've got a Pheasant tail knotting tool that came with instructions that i tore up in sheer suicidal rage........emdee help ma.

I bought a pair of winging pliers in a local tackle shop. I could not make head nor tail of them, far less wing.

I seem to remember they quickly winged their way into the bin

emery boards - for bitten nails skin etc

:lol:

I take it Peter, given all that gear, that you have a dedicated tying area?

It's no wonder you do so well in the tying competitions. You obviously take it more seriously than me. Then again, who doesn't?

For anyone going to the Don stravaig, Peter's (Rabbitangler) fMarch brown emerger was top fly for me last year.

Instead of nylon you can also use a foam post (no need for a gallows tool) and the foam adds a bit floatation at the right spot.  I tied a few in the past but felt the catch rate didn't warrent the time spent tying.
