1. Tie 6-8 of one pattern at a time. This solves the proportion issue.The first couple will look like crap and then all of a sudden the rest will be fine.
2. Do the head cement after you tie all the flies, use your bodkin to apply it- I usually put em all on a piece of foam and do a lineup.
3. Think sparse- usually that makes a better looking fly. Use 8/0 thread and get used to the tension you can put on there. Its more than you imagine.
You will get used to the small stuff pretty soon, since most of the bugs seem to be 14-18, you wont have much option!
Welcome to the madness... .its a drug
