Very nice!! I had two wet flys tied by Ray along with a very nice letter he sent me in the 50s, lost them in a move somewhere?? I do have some Ray Bergman leaders in nice little glassine envelopes, (somewhere in my pile of stuff)
Hopefully you'll find them someday. I'm planning a fly plate video for sometime in the future, so if you find them, maybe you can mount them and they'll be easier to keep up with.
Excellent! Notice use of white thread for base and black for head, spare use of thread, spinning the thread counterclockwise, use of pinch to hold material as it's being tied down... this guy is a pro.
If you want to become good at it, too, I recommend the Don Bastian DVD.
Good instruction...but are you aware you have a rotary vice - therefore there's no need to wrap the tinsel around by hand...just spin the rotary vice.
Great video! Thanks for posting.
