• 28 Nov 2008 /  Fly Tying

    I worked on a few different patterns today while listening to Nina Simone’s greatest hits. This album was released in 69′ and contains the song “Sinnerman” which at 10:22 its amazing. I really enjoy her voice when she sings in French. I listened to this album atleast six times while tying the following:

    E.lectric B.ead Caddis E.B. Caddis: Goofing around with bead ideas.

    img_3389 B.B. Zebra Midge: Short for Blue Bead.

    California Collar The California Collar: Re-Tooled, thanks for the imput.

     

    I tied quite a few flies today and these are just a few. Quick ties, good flies (hopefully) and a good day of relaxing tunes on the radio. Makes me think others have to listen to something while tying, so I pose the question:

    What do you listen to while fly tying? I have quite a wide range of music so the Nina Simone is new on my list. If you know underground NY hip-hop you would know Aesop Rock, another favorite of mine. Black Keys, Modest Mouse, Pink Floyd, and Zeppelin all top my tying radio list.
