Scissors 4" Rainbow Trout Pattern

Fly tying scissors are essential tools for any fly tier. They are specifically designed for the delicate work of tying flies, and come in various shapes and sizes to suit different needs.  

Types of Fly Tying Scissors:

• Straight Blade Scissors: These are the most common type of fly tying scissors. They have two straight blades that are ideal for cutting materials like thread, feathers, and fur.
• Curved Blade Scissors: These scissors have one straight blade and one curved blade. The curved blade is useful for trimming materials close to the hook and for creating precise cuts.  
• Micro Scissors: These small scissors are perfect for intricate work, such as trimming tiny materials or shaping delicate patterns.

Uses of Fly Tying Scissors:

• Cutting materials: Scissors are used to cut thread, feathers, fur, and other materials used in fly tying.  
• Trimming materials: They are used to trim excess material from the hook and to shape the fly.
• Creating precise cuts: Curved blade scissors are particularly useful for creating precise cuts, such as shaping wings and tails.
• Removing unwanted material: Scissors can be used to remove unwanted material from the hook or the fly itself.

When choosing fly tying scissors, it is important to consider the type of flies you will be tying, the materials you will be using, and your personal preference. A good pair of scissors will make your fly tying experience more enjoyable and efficient.
