[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]Since I am not an accomplished fly tier, I let my camera do the critique. Most times I will take a photo of my first tie so that I can see where I need to make my adjustments. In this photo I discovered that I used too much dubbing [too fat], didn't have the right shape and that I didn't get a uniform wrap of the hackle plus a little clean up is necessary at the head. Probably will need to tie several more before I will be satisfied with the outcome. Perhaps our new tiers may also learn from the cameras point of view.[/size][/#008000][/font]

is that what he was doing in the video when he created what looked like a shell around the beginning of the bend of the hook.. and I think he turned it upside down when he tied the "body" on the hook????

Here Norm makes tying a mayfly pattern look easy. Since I have one of his vises, wonder if I can do it that easily? [/size][/#008000][/font]
