Comments from other fly fishermen
What technique do you use to end up with white thread/silk to do the head and finish, rather than the red you started with? - Posted by Ant Sharman on 05/11/2007
In answer to Ant Sharman tie the shoulder as you would do the tail end, that way you end up with white at the head simple. - Posted by george cairney on 26/04/2010
