airedale 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 Beautiful! :thumbsup: I'm just wondering... I just got into realistics... How do you make the extended bodies for dragoflies, damsels, mayflies, ect.? It really adds to the character of the fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin Stout 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 I make the extended body's on a thin peace of wire. Then ty in some swiss straw backwards and fold in over, tying one segment at a time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
