]Needless to say that I am relatively new to the fly tying game. Seems like just about every day I learn something new. After tying a fly I usually slip a piece of mono through the eye prior to applying head cement or epoxy to keep the eye clean. After application of the cement I will floss the eye with the mono. What did I learn. Well never thought of checking the eye before tying. Today I found the eye clogged after I finished tying. Couldn't break through with a dubbing needle or a pin held with my pliers. Finally got out my Dremel drill and cleared the eye using a needle.[/size][/green][/font]
