Slide Inn Tying Tips - Establishing Thread Control 

I’m new to fly tying, I haven’t even tied a fly yet. Thanks for this tip, I’m gonna just sit and practice this til I have it right. One bonus for not jumping right in is finding this little nuggets of information. Going through all your videos thanks again.

Just another reason I'm a subscriber - you choose topics others won't - AND your delivery is clear. You are a great teacher.

My question is, how to we keep the bobbin the same distance away from the hook? Does the tension pull thread off the spool or do you unroll it with your ring finger?

... tying for a long time (yup) ... self taught (yup). I have always adjusted the bobbin arms to create the tension on the spool. In watching you, it looks like the only tension comes from the pressure you apply to the bobbin. Am I correct in this? ... will give it a try tonight - thanks Kelly!

Awesome. I am guilty. Thanks for setting us free.

thanks for the video. I definitely need to work on this. do you see any value in using bobbins that regulate tension like Rite brand bobbins?

For some flies, getting the thread to lay flat is important, how do you handle that while keeping the proper tension?

nice video! are you going to do a intro to mop flies tutorial?

Excellent!
