Fly Tying Tips for a Clean Hook Eye!

In this video, I share tips to keep a CLEAN hook eye when fly tying. Few things are more frustrating than being unable to thread tippet through an untidy hook eye, thus here are some methods that will help tiers. Remember, in my videos viewer participation is key, so be sure to share some of your tips for keeping the hook eye clean in the comments section or you can share them with me via email: tcammisa@gmail.com

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
