  1. Fly Tying Topics
    Hi folks, When I tie a hackle on, I using sweep back any loose fibres and do one or two turns on top to ensure the thread is holding the fibres incase the stalk breaks. This usually results in most of the fibres being swept to the top and bottom of the hook and when tied down it also looks...

    Hi, I see I am no longer able to view the 'traditional' website on my phone, it just automatically reverts to the mobile version (which I really don't like). Does anybody know if this is a permanent change, or can be reverted back somehow? Thanks, Oscar.
