deeky 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2007 When I was focussing on foam, I messed around with weaving strips of it - not something you see much of. Take a look in 'my patterns' for a couple of examples. Deeky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Skory 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Bazz, Great flies! The nymphs are great but I really love the dragonfly. Can you give a brief summary of the technique? Do you use a cone shaped piece of foam for the body to get the taper and then pinch it off at intervals with thread? Nice work, Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bass 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2007 Thanx guys! The dragonfly is very simple (hope i can get up a video step by step on my site soon) For the body you cut out a shape like this >< the middle is thinn and gets wider towards the ends. Put them together and you have a tapered form I managed to get some inspiration after all ^^ Heres the next foamfly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 Hey Bass, I love your flies!!! Here's a fun fly to try, made entirely of strips of thin foam, the legs are foam tyed over 0.10 wire... I used white foam and colored it with markers, including super fine tipped micron markers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
