Walt's Worm Blowtorch (Sort of)

When I went to tie this pattern I realized that I did not have one of the particular materials called for in the original recipe so I substituted. Sometimes you had what you needed all along without even knowing it. There is also a short discussion on how I build a fly box at the end.

Weight: .015 lead wire

I did enjoy the video, and many times I have tried to tie flies but not been happy because I did not have all the " correct " materials, now I wont worry too much about that.
