One of my favorite sellers, famoustyers1942, has a huge inventory for sale again and some awesome items available. I’ll highlight some of my favorite items here, but be sure to check out all the other items that are available by clicking here. this is just a small list of what is available. Other flies include tyers like the Dettes, rube Cross, Eric Leiser and Art Flick to name a few.
We’ll be picking up and moving soon to a new webspace. You will be able to get the same flavor of fly tying, just at a new home. We are currently working out the last few kinks, and should be up and running over the weekend. Head over to http://dailyflytyer.com and update your book marks.
You can probably tell I’ve been spending more time on ebay the last couple weeks. Well why not when I’m finding some killer flies and books! I’ve picked up a couple lots of vintage Willis and Bergman / Nyack hooks, Damian Lee Welsh Flies and just missed the top bid on a rare Carrie Stevens (I probably should not have posted about that one). Check these finds out.
A nice tutorial for big massive flies pike flies. I used a ton of the saltwater yak hair on some streamers for a customer last year and loved the results. The hair has a bit of translucence similar (but not quite as nice) to polar bear, but you can easily find it in a 12 inch + length. The technique of tying in materials and folding them back is going to create a really durable fly. Let those teeth fly, chuck and duck.
