Excellent tying, and an outstanding tutorial, with no dim-witted background music. Who the hell needs music to distract from top grade instruction. Bravo. Off to the bench to tie a row of those. Thank you.

Love this fly. So cool to see you whip finish with your fingers, and then stick the scissors in the loop to snug it up. An old timer taught me that trick about 30 years ago. Have never used a whip finish tool since. Very cool!
