Today I went out for a short outing on a local lake known for monster lake trout. I really just wanted to get out an paddle a little bit. I didn't catch any fish but on the way home I picked up a bunch of beads for tying.
When I got home I decided to tie up some stripped quill zebra midges. Last night I youtubed how to strip the peacock herl and I found this hand way... Take the herl and a pencil eraser. Run the eraser against the grain of the herl and the little barbs come off easily!
Each of these bags contains a half dozen flies which I'm going to sell this spring. The proceeds will fund next years trout adventures!
