Carl Z 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 Recieved mine today. Awesome work everyone. Carl Z my son loves the froggy bugger. Wanna share how you did the legs? I got the idea from an intermediate source, but I believe Rich actually developed this technique. (I didn't know this until I sent him the flies) The legs are Paton's Bohemian yarn and a flame is used to singe the end and taper it to a point. The frog thigh is actually created by tying in the leg and then wrapping more chenille over the leg to bulk it up. They are actually a lot of fun to tie but they needed a wider gap hook than I tied these on. I have also used this technique to tie crayfish where the claws are the tapered chenille. I experimented with trying put front, chenille arms on the frog, but it ended up looking like a green chicken. Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
