Using VENIARDS Fly Tying DYE By Jim Smith,  Dyeing your own
feathers and fur is often the only way you have to get the exact
colour you want for that special pattern or even that old
traditional that you want to tie. If you use a well proven dye
like Veniards fly tiers dye it is not difficult or messy and can
develop into an interesting pastime for when you are not at the
fly tiers bench.  The old traditional methods while effective
were very complicated. If you have an interest in trying the old
methods then can I suggest as a starter you get hold of a copy
of Irish Trout and Salmon Flies by E J Malone which has just
been republished in paperback. Not only does the book contain a
fabulous array of traditional fly patterns but has a good
chapter on dying by the old methods. Using modern dyes like
Veniards you will find the process simple and economical.
Veniards Dyes are usually available around the world from the
wide range of fly shops that sell veniards fly tying products.
