hi davie i was wondering could you use cock fibres as a substitute for the legs instead of pheasant tail because im finding the pheasant tail hard to get

Hi LukeHogan2,

Just tye the fly with the materials you have as I'm sure it will still work well...

All the best Davie

Could I use pheasant feather to make the tail

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi ZombiePig100,

Yes, I would happily add pheasant tail fibres for a tail as it works just as well....

All the best Davie

@DavieMcPhail Hea I'm just starting out on this whole fly fishing stuff,and was woundering if you need the eyes for when you make flies.

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi MrSnackization,

It does help to have good eyesight when tying the very small patterns but always tye with a good light and with a light background so that you can see the fly much easier, I'll send you a link to the lamp I use which has a magnifier to help you in certain flies.. I wish you lots of luck..

All the best Davie

Hi Elementecho,

The wax is not expensive I'll send you a link to it...ATB Davie

What can I substitute for dubbing wax? I would have to order actual dubbing wax.
