[@HolsingersFlyShop]

Thank you. That is one of my most common comments. Everyone makes mistakes, how you deal with them is important.

[@randycampbell3628]

I really like your fly demonstrations.

[@HolsingersFlyShop]

Thank you very much I try to keep them simple

I’ve been taught if your a right handed tier you should dub to the left as it further tightens the dubbing, if you dub to the right as a right handed tier it will loosen the dubbing, what do you think, I’m curious to know. Really enjoy your fly tying skills. Hunter

Very cool fly. You carry the electric wool in the shop?

[@HolsingersFlyShop]

Russell Lieser yes in every color

[@donniehails6033]

Do u have the electric wool on your online website I tried finding it but can’t

[@chasselynch5733]

I can tie with just about any material natural or synthetic,but Partridge even now gives me trouble

[@HolsingersFlyShop]

I love the finished look of it but finding and using the right sized feather on a small pattern can often be difficult. I often substitute out my partridge with brahma hen or something else.

[@chasselynch5733]

@@HolsingersFlyShop I've tried the trick of tying the partridge forward all around the hook shank then push it back with thread wraps maybe I'll have to try that brahma wing
