SullyTM 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 The proportions look real good Fred. Do you tie in individual bunches of yarn, brush it out and trim away? Thanks for sharing. Thom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siestafred 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks guys. This fly is proving itself on both Reds and Snook right now, although I have a version with chain eyes and a weedguard that I've been using alot. Sully, that's almost right on. I tie the yarn on right as it comes from the card, then trim it roughly, then comb it out, then do a final trimming. Cheers......Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
