Nice tie Chase! Looks like the floss has a bit of a backwards taper though, does it?

I don't know (floss back half only then dubbing)...crappy pic. Started tying and old 19th C pattern and broke off the heron...so had to wing a non-pattern...
19C patterns to come.

I've not tied classics for a while, cause I'm over-committed with three fly swaps across NA...so out of practice a bit. Friend of mine is making custom salar hooks...nobles and limericks...

I Hate when a 10 dollar feather breaks. Does it have wings or just a heavy teal collar?

Rebending them or piano wire? Either way I'd be interested in some nobles...

Remind him to wear a mask with that stuff, I've heard it's pretty strong s#@^t! Let me know when he has a batch ready, I'll be glad to test some, lol.
