Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hey everyone! From the looks of the group, it seems we have some pretty avid and talented tiers. What better a group to as to share a few of the things that make your time at the vice a bit easier, organized or more productive. I have a few that I will share with you, starting with this little gem.

I used a magnetic strip, found at hardaware or craft stores to hold my flies when they are drying. I used to use a piece of foam, bit it wasnt affixed, adn eventually it got too beat up. this allows me to position the fly so that head cement of epoxy wont run the wrong way, and so tha tmy flies dont end up a permenant part of my tying bench.


How about you?
