Fly Tying the Missing Link fly with Barry Ord Clarke

[@Holly950]

Perfect! When I grow up (I am now 77 and have been tying for 54 years) I want to achieve your level of perfection. At my age I'd better hurry up. You mentioned some scissors but I didn't catch the name. Would much appreciate your providing it.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Holly, thanks and good luck with that! The scissors are called 'RENOMED' they make several scissors for fly tyers, heres a link:renomed.eu/fishing-scissors/?lang=en

Brilliant work with a lovely pattern. It looks like a real improvement to a traditional elk hair caddis

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.

[@3000waterman]

Oh Barry. You made that look so easy. After all my FB moaning yesterday I can see where my errors creep in. Not having that super long elk hair, and using shorter bleached paradun hair, wasn't helpful. Back to the bench. That is by far the best explanation and video online.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Glad to help, the long elk and keeping the Z-Lon long is the key!

Missed ya, Barry top looking little fly

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks!

Very nice Barry. Nice tip on the hackle preparation and great minimalistic proportions. One observation, MM designed the body/rib to extend much further into bend as it resides within film.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks for the tips!

Buy it ready bleached, too hit and miss to do small patches yourself.
