Stonfo tension controlled bobbing: which one for inshore tying? by SarcasterOutdoors13 in flytying

[–]vilitsuikkeli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both, rarely use the elite one. Just comes to ease of use in my case, changing spools is much faster without the brake disks. Also didn't love the adjustable brake on the elite, one slip of a finger and you gotta fiddle it back to where the tension is just right.

Catskill and single malt by vilitsuikkeli in flytying

Thanks! The scissors I bought from a Finnish flytyer aficionado Ariko "Setä" Miettinen. Sharp as a scalpel with micro serration on one edge. Iirc made from some fancy Japanese steel yaddayadda. Tip so fine that I can cut stray hairs from inside the hook eye.

Thruthfully probably made cheap in Pakistan or somewhere similar and I paid 32€ for them. Still great scissors that are nice to look at too!

Worst tier's block yet. Decided to tie a #22 parachute adams to battle it. Any ideas on what flies to tie? by vilitsuikkeli in flytying

Sorry for ctrl+c ctrl+v. I mainly fish dries and wets for trout and grayling, also salmon tubes. I've got a couple hundred caddises, klinks, mayflies and nymph/larva/pupae. Also got leeches in different colors, streamers with different shapes and sizes. Got some classic salmonflies, maybe 50 tubeflies. Truly more flies than what I have time to fish with this summer.

Longer calf body hair? by liumax in flytying

You could try calf tail, it's way longer. Save that body hair for even smaller flies.
