Tying doesn't have to be all that expensive. I'm a tight with a buck so I save where I can. I made a good hair stacker out of a 30-06 shell and piece of wood. My head cement is clear nail polish that I get at the dollar store. A functional vice can be had for $20. When I'm out if I see a good looking feather I scoop it up. I'm a wee bit overboard with this kind of thing so much so that my wife hides her feather pillows form me.:lol: I have made a few nice soft hackle flies from pillow feathers.
You guys are funny...what then would you name those flies: Maybelline Mayfly or how about Goose Down Dun:lol:
sheesh onthefly.. you can afford head cement? what... you one of those middle aged self employeed caucasion rich republicans..? :lol::lol::think:
Ever palmer hackle with a false eyelash?
One of my favorite flies is my revlon renagade!!! Beside every cent saved on a fly goes into my Jameson budget. I draw the line at two week old road kill. I did freak a niece of mine out once. I picked her up at the airport and forgot about the semi fresh road kill squirel in the bed of my pickup. When she went to put her suitecase in the bed of the truck, well she did let out a squeal!:lol:
