#rd attempt getting closer to where I want to be except I got in a hurry that's a no no and cut off one of his legs in the trimming process. Woven body brown and olive with olive dubbing and mono eyes need to be a size smaller. Legs and tail are goose biots.

David the thread I got was artiste #5 nylon thread. The colors I used was olive and brown. The thread worked but I'm still hunting for a softer more limp thread.

David Youtube is a great source of information I have learned lots from it. My attention span isn't great so reading instruction is out of the question but watching it done is another world.

No patience's just want to achieve a goal and have plenty time to do it in so I can like you walk away till I want to tackle the project again.

HAIR COULD BE A MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR DICK AND I , WE DON'T HAVE ANY !!!!!!!! YOU HAVE QUITE AN IMAGINATION THERE DAVID AND YOU HAVE THE FLY TYING ADDICTION BAD NOW . MAYBE WE COULD START A SELF HELP GROUP LIKE " TIERS ANONAMOUS " , "THREAD ADDICTS" , "TAWI" = TIERS AFFLICTED WITH IMAGINATIONS" , OR any other ideas you can come up with !

And could you name the thread you got at Hobby Lobby, exactly?
Wanna get some.
Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on October 12, 2013 at 9:05am
Imagination? Same here, Dick.
I've started thinking about collecting my own hair ad tying material.
'Got it bad, yessir.

Watched the vid, then tried it. The results? I need to watch it again....
PS Hackle covers a multitude of sins.

I've walked away from many a tying project Dick . I'll come back to it later and if the frustration is too high I move on to something else. I have a very limited patience with problems I can't easily solve on the first or second go around. You obviously have unlimited patience and admire ya for that ........
