SullyTM 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2007 Timo...Very nice! I like what you did with the legs. Are those Japanese Nymph Legs? Later... Thom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TKontio 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2007 Thom you're right about the legs. They're the smallest (tan) japanese legs and the tapering is made with coats of dave's flexament. I use those smallest legs most because I think they're only ones that aren't too stiff for fishing. This flexament technique is also great because it doesn't stiffen the legs..

Graham 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 Hi Timo, I was just looking at some of the topics I missed during the couple of months I wasn't online. Wow, your stonefly is gorgeous, seriously an exceptionally beautiful stonefly. And it looks real enough to crawl away. Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TKontio 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 Thanks again for the compliments. Dave, I consider myself more of a well allround tyer than a specialist in any type of fly. I am maybe most comfortable tying semi-realistic fishing flies for trout and grayling but fly tying contains so much more and I'm trying to enjoy as much of it as I can. Past couple of weeks I've tied couple bass bugs(something new for me) dry flies for trout and a freestyle salmon fly Timo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
