David,

 

I love this pattern, thanks for sharing it. How do you get the curve in the hair? I tied one as a convertible pattern after seeing this post. I'm going to be using them in FL. next month :D

Termite..awesome fly!

 

The curve is achieved bt tying in the base of the front fibres, tips forward and then pushing them bach with some sort of straw or pen aka "reverse tie"..this gives that rounded shape @ head of fly

Thanks for the link, I'm going to have to look at it at work due to my S_L_O_W internet at home :wallbash: Here is the same body with pink tenticals that someone on another board suggested.
