NOTE
Tying the "Stanek's" Sow Bug is a BATCH - SEQUENCE tying operation requiring cure time between tying steps. It is best to tie a batch (6 to 12) of flies at one time.
You will notice except for the hook and tying thread, the materials in my Sow Bug come from the hardware store, the craft store and packaging materials.
