flyguy613 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 I'm learning this one right now, tough little nymph to make look good. I seem to weave the chenille pretty well, my bodies always look decent. For me doing the hackle is the hardest part that's were I'm always messing up How's your bc nymph look now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaydub 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 Yes, there is more than one way to wrap a hook. I find that the key to getting a good weave is to keep a consistent tension throughout the process. It takes some practice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ditz2 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2015 I don't personally do any weaving though it sure looks good. I would suggest that you also try either yellow or chartruse or even hot yellow in place of the orange. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PJ2 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2015 I know your pain had a surgery not too long ago then broke both my hands. casts just came off a week ago. It really stinks when you have the need to fish and something keeps you from it. BUT I can honestly say my first fish caught when i came back was by far the best fish i had in a go long time. feel better and i hope your surgery goes well. Ps. I like the marker trick.

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2015 One simple solution would be to use a shell back, as you would in a scud pattern. Tie some black material in at the bend pull it forward over the orange and rib down. There may be a new material on the way soon from Virtual Nymph. It has the texture of fine suede chenille, but comes in sheet form. it would be ideal for this. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Shovel 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2015 Personally, have never tied this pattern, but if your fishing for smallies, i doubt they'll care, their not very finicky if you know what i mean. Hope your surgery goes well, and welcome back to fly fishing!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
