Sjo 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 My flies are done and in the post, priority. Sorry for holding up this terrific Swap. I had some material issues and I mixed up the due dates. Total Hatch Swap Rhyacophila Dorsalis aka The Sandfly Larval Stage aka Rockworm: Hook: size 8 grub Sticky back lead (Virtual-Nymph.com), two layers, preshaping the body with white Benechi 8/0 tying thread, leaving a long strand at the eye of the hook to tye off the bodywhool. The bobbin rests at the tail. Firts tye in the tail, than the rib and than the bodywhool. Tail: Phyloplume dyed olive, tip severed out. Body: three ply olive knitting whool, tapered in beginning and the end, wrapped round the shank wound very tight like a rope, leaving a distinct space between the windings. The space between the segments is overwound first with the tying thread catching yellow dyed partridge hacklefibers for legs between the first three segments. Follow the groove with a slightly lighter shade of two ply olive embroiderysilk. Ty off and whip. Now stroke an olive felttipped pen over the back. Be sure to not touch the lower lying embroiderysilk, just tint the whool on top and at the sides. In this way you enhance the segmentation and the back will be slightly darker than the belly. Emerger stage aka The fluttering sedge. Some species don’t crawl ashore and hatch there, but they climb to the surface up the waterplants like reeds etc. There they hatch, fluttering their wings, which is very catching to the eye. Hook: size 14 dry. Extension: hollow body off glittery dubbing made round a needle by dubbing and varnishing the needle, then pulling off the hollow body. Stick the hook through the underside of the hollow body and tye it down with the 8/0 white Benechi tying thread. Tye in at the hookbend a yellow CdC hackle by the tip. Wrap the tying thread to the eye and tye in two antennae from tail fibers of the Golden Pheasant. Wrap back to the point three mm forward of the tying in point off the extension. Here tye in four wings made from two strips of Waterwing (Virtual-Nymph.com). Overwrap two longer strips forward for three mm and overwrap backwards so they stand upright. Wrap your tyingthread to the eye and dub with FlyRite nr 30 (March Brown). Wrap the dubbing backwards to the tying in point off the extension, wrap the thread forward to the eye. Wind the CdC hackle two turns behind the hindwings, two turns between the hindwings and the forwings and two turns between the forwings and the eye. Tye off, whipfinnish and take you scissors to nip off the reces. Try to trap the wings and the CdC barbules upright. Adult stage, the Sandfly Size 14 longshank Dub a spikey body with hares ear dubbing. Tye in a wing form Virtual Nymph (Realistic Caddis Wings). Wrap an oversized coch-y-bondu hackle, just four to five turns. Clip away top and sides and clip away a smal V at the underside. Overty this with the spikey dubbing you used for the body. Comb the dubbing between the hackle fibres using a strip off Velcro Sjo Crapels, on the forum known as sjo. August 20th, 2009 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
