You are never to old to learn something new

I thought I knew most thing about flytying having tied for over 40 years and also running a tying Class but my branch of the guild had Chris Reeves as the guest speaker last night and I'm glad to say that I learnt quite a few little tricks and finally got hold of some Tasser wire for my deep nymphs.

Thanks Chris that was a most imformative evening.

I help with a fly tying class, like u said always picking up new tips even from
complete beginners. Every body ties differently useing different materials for this and that
and experimenting in differant ways .
Whats this tasser wire for the deep nymphs?

its a plastic coated fine copper wire and as well as adding weight to the fly it allows the colour or flash of the underbody to show through the plastic which gives you a lot of different possibilities.

Had a play around with the wire this afternoon and came up with these , by changing the under body you get an interesting chage of colour.

Noticed those Taser wire buxxers in this months Total Flyfisher and they look quite fishable and the proceeds go to a good cause, too!
