There is
tremendous variety in fly tying materials. After the hook, which is first in
the vise, thread is important.
In our opinion,
developed from teaching and tying flies for many years, a strong, flat
thread is best. That's why we carry Danville 6/0 and Ultra 70 and 140 Denier
threads.
They work.
Start with the
basic colors and expand from there. |

Ultra Thread from
Wapsi.
The colors are
vivid and true.
The thread is
strong and lies flat when tying, making flies more durable.
UTC70 for
standard dries and nymphs, including midge patterns.
UTC140 for larger
flies, spinning hair and tying saltwater patterns.
