finish-nails for fly tying/Pauly's popping bug
#1
fly tying with Finish Nails

[#0060bf]Firts step[/#0060bf]:>[Image: bobwink.gif]Find a finish nail of your choice for weight
[#00ff00]2nd[/#00ff00]..The head of the nail should be close to the eye of the hook.Wrap your line just under the head of the nail and back through the eye of hook,this keeps it from sliding off..
[#bf0000]3rd[/#bf0000]..Find hook of choice,I'm using eagle claw straight shank barbless..size 6
[#bfbf00]Finally[/#bfbf00]..I tied some dyed deer hair to the shank of the hook towards the eye.After you tie the fly to the shank make sure to leave enough string to go back through the eye of the hook then wrap some more around the fly and tie it off.

TIPS:
Make sure to pass your line back through the eye of the hook a few times after,this will keep the fly from sliding down your hook..
Use thin line when securing the fly this way you can still tie on easily,

nothing better than cheap homemade flies..P.S.
I got the deer hair from my buddies house so its still home made[sly]
