...огин да я попари тая пастръва, що светли умове обърка и бастиса.

Здравейте на връзващи и гледащи. Мухата е лесна за изработка, но плува ли или потъва, това ми е въпросът?

Драго, къде ни хвърли при страничния спинер на Рой Кристи . За да го напрвиш май трябва доста време да стоиш над менгемето защото там техниката на вързване вече е друга.

Стоян е показал много удачен за вързване спинър със сегментирано тяло от куил на кокоше перо в чието приготвяне между впрочем е ключа за направата на добра муха.

Preparing quills

Quills tend to be quite brittle, especially nearing the broader end of the stalk. As the body is wound the quill taper increases, as does its chances of splitting. The fat end of a quill simply does not like being wound that tight, it's like combining contortionist school with a fat camp.

Solving this problem and limiting the painful nature of tying with quills couldn't be easier. All you need is a glass of water and a spare few minutes. This is a great tip I first read about in a column by AK Best. All you do is soak the quill in water for ten minutes before you use it. This renders it much more flexible and easy to work with, allowing you to wind right into the thickest part of the quill with very little fear of it splitting. Thanks AK.

One warning though. Do not leave your quills soaking for excessively long periods of time. Firstly, you'll forget them. And secondly, unless you possess some sort of strange masochistic tendency, you really don't want to know what choking on a stripped quill feels like. Take my advice, don't swallow, that means you too girls.
