richla 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 FlyTime, I'm with you. I have been working on "art" versions of a stonefly, I make progress, and then I come to the legs, and it's like hitting a brick wall... very frustrating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustyspinner 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 Pick up Paul Whillock's book "Flies as Art" It will answer all your realistic tying questions and get you started the right way. You can always adjust his techniques to match your style, but his ideas are very sound! Good luck with your legs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
