I've been tying flies for longer than I would care to admit and believe I make a fairly decent and consistent fly.
The 2 flies I hate to tie are the Muddler and royal wulff. Both flies give me fits.
The muddler I don't tie anymore as a
I seldom throw streamers. Buggers or zonkers now and then are an exception. Both fairly easy ties.
I love the Royal Wulff. It is a go to search pattern thar is productive year after year. I needed to restock a bit and dreaded the task. I tie 3 in an hour. Still struggling with calf hair. Can never get the right amount for wings. I tried white Para post material and it did make the job a bit easier. I found some white polar bear substitute ( not sure what it is) but it is a natural fur perhaps died or bleached white I'm not sure. Gonna try that tomorrow after this glass of brandy.
