Semi Realistic Adult Stonefly / Salmonfly

Recommended Posts

This is a simplified version of the foam Semi Realistic Adult Stonefly pattern that I tie last year. I have replace the Wing material with Vinyl Rafia material and replaced the legs with rubber legs.

 

You may play with different wing and legs materials or modify it to become other insect... even Daddy Long legs...

Nice series of adjustments to a single body, really like the spent wing stone. What kind of tape do you use on your wings?

Hi utyer,

 

I use the vinyl rafia coated with cement ( home made flexament )... same trick which Fred was using on the tissue paper.. and the other one I sandwich a fine net material with 3M magic tape at both side( I call it tape wing )

 

Both I colour them with Promarker...
