Hi Dorian,
The three main sizes I use are 3mm, 2.5mm and 2mm beads, these will fit easy on a size 10, 12 and 14 respectively both on a straight and curved hook..
All the best Davie

Hi AAAGTE,
B175 or a B170 are both good hooks to use but any good strong hook will do....

Davie,
Another excellent fly. I wasn't quite able to catch what kind of wax it was that you used on the thread. Can you tell me where I would be able to find wax like that? I've been using sewing beeswax from the fabric store, but I have found that it's just not quite sticky enough.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Davie,
First of all many many thanks for all the videos you post they're not only informative but a joy to watch in themselves and much appreciated by many many people I'm sure.
A questions if I may.
In the Hare's Ear Nymph tying you say you are using the real tin tinsel, may I ask where you get it from?
Kind regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
Thank you for the kind words..The tinsel I used came from Veniards but as far as I believe they have stopped selling it, the only other company which I know sells a proper tinsel is Largartun. I have sent you a link to a company that sells it...ATB Davie
