Pure sweetness and very buggy. Never tied an entire fly in-hand: Took one simple pattern off the vise momentarily just to "see".... and my fingers cramped-up something fierce. Well done!

Ancient Chinese secret.....What are you using for gut loop?
Twisted nylon extra duty upholstery thread, hot tea batch for the stain, perfection looped on both ends, roto dub spun, stretched, waxed to holy hell, stretched again, waxed again and let to sit for a while. The wax keeps it from unwinding. I dead weight tested it at 25# no problems, 30# it breaks at the knots, I'm estimating a 35-40# in loop to loop connections.
Its a pain, but I tie a more symmetrical fly this way, can't explain it, the wings come out better for me as my vise usually gets in the way. I don't do it for long periods cause yes the hand will cramp.Pure sweetness and very buggy.
