Vodpod videos no longer available.

I have posted before how I spent many years not knowing how to use the Whip Finishing tool (there was no Internet or YouTube to give visuals; too embarrassed to ask). I somehow learned and used the hand finish and still use it for all flies save the more minute dry flies. It is not easy to explain. But, this video shows it pretty well. Still learn how to use the whip finishing tool.
