#32 Tutorial

[flygoddess]

This was requested on the Utah FF board, but this is FLY TYING forum so here it is.
Here is a list of material. You can use Snow Shoe Bunny feet (hair between the toes). I use the Para Post because it is less money, easier to work with, and my wiener dog won't eat the para post material[mad]



Fibbets white, black thread 14/0, and white para-post



Use thumb nail to push tail fibers up:



Tie the Para Post material in WULFF Style. Figure 8. I also wrap each post a couple of times.



Here it is with the wings clipped:

That looks great and not too difficult to tie. What is that fly called?

After catching some nice fish on small flies this past year, I'm becoming a believer! I used to fish 14's and above but now I'm venturing into the 18-22 sizes.

It is just a snow fly. Also in Brown and Gray.

I've heard good things about that threader and this is the first year I've started using reading glasses (reading not fishing yet) so one of those gadgets will be on my vest soon.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3] You can get a 6x through a 32 eye? I'm lucky if I could get a rope through the eye of one of the Queen Mary's anchor. Ah to have young eyes again.[/size][/#008000][/font]

I do use magnifiers, but the 20/20 magnetic threader does work also.
