]Well, I think the Paper clip is an "any port in a storm" or a 'Handy Andy' thing to contain the nuisence value of his fly parts.
Notice he has the wings in the vise? The bobbin (thread supply doober) is still wrapped around the end of the WIngs?
Appearently the wings will come apart if he releases the Bobbin hold, but he needs the Bobbin for the next step, sooooo he tied in the snap as a temporary holder to free up the Bobbin.
He could have used a tooth pick. That would have raised some eyebrows. A fly with a stinger...[sly].
Maybe the next step was using the Bobbin to put a wrap around the body, just behind the wings as a Ramp or a Raised Hump to make the wings stand up.
That may be the reason for clamping the Wings and letting the fly dangle with a little weight for emphysis.
Why am I assuming a man has done this? It could have been DryRod's grandson!
Or maybe FlyGoddess' next protoge' is among us.
