Jim, great idea! You solved two problems at one time. You can eat and recycle at the same time. I always said that fly tiers are the craftiest people I know. Give them a problem and they will solve it. I'm sure you will get great use of you bobbin holders and you color coded them too!

Just watch out for sharp edges, also you can use Q-tip tubes, but they are a little flexible. The ink pen tube on it's own will work well.

Hi , I am a big fan , I love the channel ,and I cannot thank you enough for the effort you provide for the sport .I have a question : when it comes to euro nymphing , how do you adjust the tippet length vs the water depth ? Many subject matter experts claim if the fly is touching the bottom , the fish won't touch it . Can you please elaborate or make a video .Your help is always appreciated .
@TheFlymanJim
Жыл бұрын
When nymph fishing I don't do the Euro Nymphing. All the guys I've seen doing it use a bright section (orange or chartreuse), on the leader and always fished on the bottom. That being said if your flies are not on the bottom the fish wont eat them.

@TheFlymanJim

One way to try and combat this is to take a 16" piece of Kevlar thread and run it through the bobbin, even try to spin it on the bobbin. Another way is to use glyserin on dental floss in the same manner. glyserin should be available at any drug store. You may also try using a hollow Q-Tip these are the blue stems when you make your holder, you can also melt the ends (very slightly), to form a roll on them. Good Luck let me know how you make out.
