Tip

Tip: Cut material ends at an angle to avoid a bulky body

How to do it: Trim material ends at an angle before tie-in to reduce bulk

Mistake it fixes: Cutting material ends squarely, creating bulk

Why it works: Angled ends taper into the body smoothly, avoiding the step and bulk of a square cut.

When it matters most: Fly tying, technique
