[font "Poor Richard"][size 4][green][cool]Would like this thread to serve new & seasoned tyers alike. Kindly add your innovation or perhaps someone else's that has made tying flies easier for you. [/green][/size][/font]
[font "Poor Richard"][size 4][green]I will kick it off offering an idea that I came across a while back in a FF magazine.[/green][/size][/font] [ol] [li][font "Poor Richard"][#008000][size 4]Slip a short piece of a drink straw over the bobin post before adding thread to the hook. At some point when you want to keep material pushed back just slide the piece of straw off he post to push the material out of your way.[/size][/#008000][/font][/li] [li][font "Poor Richard"][#008000][size 4]About 20 yrs ago I asked my periodontist for some old dental tool which I used in my work shop. Found that they prove to be helpful at my tying station too.
