Sure wish I could make it. :( I seem to learn something new every time I sit in front of someone and watch them tie, and you just can't get those kind of insights any other way. Hope to hear folks are taking advantage of this one. :cool:

Went by the shop this afternoon and found Mike tying rubber legged, deer hair frogs. The hair on these bugs is either spun and/or stacked and is packed very tight. These frogs are tied with lighter colored hair on the bottom than on the top and each has a mono weed guard. Mike gave me one for fishing and my collection. :smirk:

Mike uses a new technique (new to me anyway) for tying in the rubber legs. He uses two steps to tie in some fine wire which he uses to tie down the legs. This session taught me, once again, there's always a new way to skin a cat.... :nod:

BTW, Mike's a great guy to sit and talk too while he's tying. Doesn't even seem like he's distracted by it.... :lol: Good way to spend an afternoon. 8-) 8-) 8-)
