eastern fly 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2017 All of the flies are boxed and ready to go. I will get them out tomorrow. Thanks everyone for another great swap. I'm asking everyone to post the recipe for your flies. I for one want to copy each one so I don't loose the original and have nothing. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 Vladi's Polish Nymph (Josef) https://umpqua.com/products/flies/bead-head-flies/vladis-polish-nymph I haven't seen a material list for this particular rendition by Vladi, but there's no magic to the materials. Use a heavy czech hook size 8-12, a tungsten bead to match color scheme, build a smooth base for the body with thread and/or extra weight for a caddis type shape, rib to match body, and shuttle weave a body with two contrasting or otherwise compelling colors of DMC floss. Dub a collar to match backside of weave. I added a hot spot, but Vladi's don't have hot spots. I also used a darker thorax than Vladi seems to be using. The real secret to this is the weave. Here are the videos I relied on: http://frontrangeang...-polish-nymphs/ https://loren.teamfr...en-polish-nymph http://flytying123.c...sh-woven-nymph/ http://www.charliesf...cfm?parentID=91 I also found it extremely helpful to wet the floss before weaving. Here are the materials I used: Hook: Fulling Mill 35060 Czech Barbless #12 (Note: some brands won't accommodate a bead; this one does) Bead: Competitive Angler countersunk tungsten gold 4.00 mm Weight: Golf tape, cut into ~1/8" strips Thread: UTI 70 Hopper Yellow Rib: Small copper wire Body: DMC Floss - dark brown (#3371) and light orange (#?) Collar; SLF Dark Brown (Vladi uses something lighter, maybe hare's ear) Hot Spot: Uni Fire Orange 6/0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
