Become a Thinking Fly Tier!
by Jim Cramer
All fly tiers
have a desire to improve their levels of skill, yet many find themselves
stuck in their advancement. You can become a better tier by truly
thinking about the what, why, and how of your tying. Jim
Cramer shares with you his sixty-plus years of tying experience, and
thoughts about materials and techniques that can help take your tying to
a new level. You will be challenged to grow beyond the “paint by
numbers” approach that may have limited your progress. Your rewards will
be a noticeable increase in the quality and uniformity of your flies,
and an increase in the speed of your tying.
