Tying the O.B. Nymph

[Solly 0]

Can anyone please help with the method of tying the abdomen of the O.B. Nymph as tied by renafli. I don't have a problem with the thorax and the wing-case but I am stumbled by the bicolor latex overlay of the dubbed abdomen and the ribbing that gives it such nice segmentation.

Thank you,

Solly,

 

Can you point us to a picture. With an image we may be better placed to respond.

 

Cheers,

i believe its given

 

Under body: olive fur cover with cream latex

Back: brown body strech

Thorax natural hare

Permanent marker

 

ribbing of your choice should also be in the recipe

Thanks Norm, for the link.

 

It would indeed appear as per the recipe, with the addition of a (mono?) rib.

Sorry - still learning how to use the forums.

 

Thanks for the reply, Norm. I understand from the picture what you are saying, but it appears to me as though the front of the abdomen and the back of the abdomen are covered with different color latex. Or are they the same and does the tyer use permanent marker on the back (top)?

just think of tying a czech nymph

 

or send renafly a PM for the tying instructions

Solly,

 

Looking at the image, and the recipe details, I would say the abdomen is covered in wrapping the latex strip from bend to eye over the underbody, whereas the darker strip is simply stretched over the back from bend to eye.

 

Makes sense?

Hello Solly,

 

I'm going to try to explain the method of tying the abdomen of O.B. nymph.Firstly, I tie the back by using the brown body stretch. Secondly, I tie the whole body by using olive dubbing and then I rib the whole body by latex. On the top of the latex I tie the body stretch for the back and then rib it by nylon of 0.16 mm. That's the method I use and I hope I could help you.

All the best Renato!

Solly,

 

I missed to mention that I used the permanent marker under the body stretch of the back.

 

All the best
