Small bloody world. Peter, yeah they look handy and line management is an unglamorous subject close to my breaking point. Lars, forgive me but I only read the first few paragraphs and didn't get down to the author credits. :D Here's the small world story. I'm locked down in Melbourne, time isn't sho...

Good on you for trying. Not sure what level of proficiency you are aiming for but a few thoughts based on my readi...

I'm considering to buy some magnifier that can be mounted to a table to avoid focusing problem. Does anybody use it for fly tying? Any recommendations on brand/model? And most importantly does it work as advertised? Hi Alex Yes, I use one and have done for 10+ years when tying at home. Some folks c...
