Really nice tie and thanks for showing us. This is on my short list of flies to tie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFoster 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2023 Thank you sir, I am really humbled by your kind words. The white latex came from a balloon that I got in a pack at the dollar store. If you dab it with a marker the ink won’t sink in and it leaves those wonderful blotches. Then you cover it with UV, and it’s permanent. The legs are simply tied in at the tip and palmered forward to the head. Brush them down and pull the Latex over the top of the fibers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
