You sir are an artist.

Nice, but barbs?

Always debarb after. Just the way I tie.

Flies
 

Awesome job.

I dont debarb mine until im finished tying either

We are taking pictures of them, not fishing them with a barb on:thinking-006:

Awesome Job! Really clean flies!

Before or after
 

Prefer before myself as it sucks to have one break while pinching it down just after the flies been completed ...... great patterns

I file them, no risk of breaking the hook

I only fish stocked ponds so I keep what I catch. Removing barbs in this case is a moot point.

Awesome ties! I haven't done many dries yet so pretty envious of the skills. I'm inspired. :)

Some mighty fine bugs ya got there Lornce

Great ties! :)

Busy winter of tying.

Nice work Lornce,
Been tying a few Wolff’s lately.
Are you using tail or calf fur on your wings for coachmen’s?
Where’s a guy get his hands on calf fur ?

I usually use either calf tail or body hair on traditional flies, both work nicely. Body hair is easier to work with as it is straight. Its what I use for tying demos when I ran tying classes. Access calf in online shops like Waspi or Feathercraft or better still your local fly shop. synthetics are another option. Originally bought a calf hide when I did high volume. Hope this helps.

Might as well
 

Wow, those are beautiful flies. I wish you were my fishing partner.

Very nice work right there. I debarb first also as I find it easier for slipping a bead head on. Tied a few dozen big number 2 black stones for the Crow anticipating June.
Great winter past time.
