BrownBear Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Dandy! You can bet some of those will be coming off my vise. Have the fish given you any reason for using black thread rather than brown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownBear Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Good thinking, I bet. It certainly helps the bars be more prominent. Hadn't looked at it that way, but I'll be sure to try it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownBear Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I got my first at West Wall Outfitters in Punta Gorda. Here is the direct source of Congo Hair, but you can find it now in a few local shops. Click on the Synthetic Hair section. Go to the Fly Tying Gift Boxes at that site to buy selections for even greater savings. Their alternatives to Flashabou and Krystal Flash are way cheaper than the standards too, and in many cases better. If your local fly shop isn't stocking the stuff, twist their arms. FTD has a dealer program that's quite good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
