Here’s the current video in our series called “ One-Minute Fly-Tying Tips and Methods,” from Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions Each video teaches a single connecting ability, from one of the most fundamental to the advanced. Eventually, the series will work as a sort of encyclopedia of connecting abilities that will be an important resource for anybody who takes a seat at a vise to develop a fly.
If you have actually been a Tim Flagler fan for long, you recognize that he’s a huge fan of pine squirrel as a connecting product. (See here.) In this excellent video, he reveals you how to make a sophisticated, buggy collar utilizing the hairs from a pine-squirrel zonker strip. You’ll require a couple of tools, consisting of a calling needle, a chip clip, and some calling wax. If you wish to bone up on your split-thread dubbing-noodle method, take a look at Tim’s earlier post on the subject.
