I really enjoy you both and these sessions. Personally, my streamer tying is governed by a few factors: 1) Do I have the time (I already have the materials. Tim has cost me literally thousands of dollars). 2) Can I buy it online for less than $8? (Inconsistent in logic). 3) Can I find the needed materials I already have after a couple glasses of wine? Over the years, Tim "made" me purchase materials like Pygmy Hippopotamus testicle hair, rare earth elements, and a mop. Most of that is 100% true.

"Finding Nemo fins" made me shoot wine out of my nose while tying!

Great Tie Off , as usual I might add ;) about that carding trick. It works even better when the card is made of thin cardboard with a pinch fold down the centre line. It makes inserting tweezers a lot easier and faster without distubring the composite loop arrangement at all. Regards Smarty

Great video! Probably my favorite fly. Jonathan Farmer and Midnight Sun Custom Flies rule.

each is a winner for what it would be used for

I'm pretty sure you can shanks with an eyelet like that in most craft store jewelry sections.
