Hi Jonathan
Thanks for your e-mail. I know exactly how you feel! I went for a routine op on my varicose veins…ECG and it was cancelled. Now virtually living at QMC. Nottingham with warfarin to thin my blood, weekly blood test, mask at night for sleep apneia, and will eventually have an op. on my heart.
I suppose it must be better than a wooden box.
Hope you get sorted soon.
DaveC. and the Team

thankyou for a great site. I intended to start fly-fishing this seaason (gear preped and ready to go) but ended up having surgery instead, not good swap in my oppinion. So doing a lot more tying than fishing, your instruction is easy to follow and has got me through the early stages with very little fuss thankyou again.

About those rubber legs. I bought this transparent rubber-like “line”(?) little girls make necklaces from. It cost me next to nothing and is quite durable, even in salt water, yet not as flexible as those sili-legs you’ve shown us. Once the fly is tied (I mostly use them for shrimp imitations) I add black spots to them with a pen, and it looks quite “alive” actually. Now I wonder if anyone have tried regular rubberbands, like the ones we are rubbed in the face everytime we buy something from the butcher’s? That would be nice and cheap. Here in Denmark those “commercial” products cost half your life savings, so I’m allways looking out for alternative materials.
Thanks for the tutorials Dave. I love the way you say “happy fishing”. Especially this time ;o)
