How to Tie Jonathan Farmer's Craft Fur Fly - OPST

Here's the last video from Jonathan Farmer's visit to Washington this past winter. It's fairly easy to tie, and nicely balanced, with great motion. This pattern has potential for both summer and winter steelhead. We hope you enjoy it. This fly is tied with an OPST 32mm Steelhead Shank, OPST Signature Barred Ostrich Drabs, an OPST Swing Hook and the excellent and popular OPST Dubbing Spinner. See these materials as well as OPST's popular lines at pureskagit.com/store/. This fly uses the following materials:
•Thread: Veevus 140, Black
•Shank: OPST Steelhead Shank, 32mm
•Trailing Hook Material: 30 Pound Fireline
•Bead: 3/16" Plummeting Tungsten Bead, Metallic Purple

It truly is a work of art. It would probably take me 2 hours to tie that, then I'd be afraid to use it :)

I know I asked a year or so ago, but I'll ask again: where do I get one of those handy composite rulers?
