A long, but shorter road......

Why do I love NEFF...for one, there are some awesome people here......Trico Mike......the hints and the book are helping......Grobert so are the hooks

This one took less time and less frustration...I didn't stick my scissors in my eye, and I actually smiled once...it was after soaking the pheasant crests, and drying them.....NICE!!! I stripped one side of the hackle as it is genetic and has a lot of barbs
Still my tinsel has slipped, the wing needs more work, I need to tighten my wraps, and hackle so they don't slip out of place, and I need to stop hitting the hook point(that really sucks!)! Thanks for the hooks Grobert, they are helping A LOT!!!

I hate hitting the hook point. Sometimes I put a little piece of foam on it. I still want to plunge scissor in my eyes sometimes, or I just get Pissed and rip the whole fly off the hook. Fly tying is a nice relaxing past time.
