*** With last weekend’s discussion with John Shaner I felt that I needed to start tying some of
these north country spiders in some small sizes. There is quite a difference in the ability in handling materials
for a sz 16 as opposed to a sz 18. My fingers seemed to grow much larger in size. Regardless it was fun and
i need to continue increasing my sz 18 inv. The dove feathers that Lou “Variant” sent me handle very well and
wrap nicely.

do you tie left handed?

No zen leecher but right now I’m dealing with a broken arm so I’m shifting quite a bit.

I was looking at the angle on the "ribbing" and wasn't sure which hand you were winding with. Tying with a broken arm must be... well....interesting to say the least.
