Graham 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 Hi Johan, I just love your fly, very impressive, looks realistic and buggy! I agree with Salmonfly (who ties much more realistic flies than mine), that you are a natural. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for posting your fly. Take care, Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johan-p 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 hi guys thanx for the complements but in real it isnt as great as it look on the picture but i wil make another one. i made the extended body whit monofiel 0.30 mm brown on top en yellow below en did it whit the woven techniek ,realy that was for me the easy part .what give me a lot of truble was the front body and the top shield maby you guys have some tips for my to get that more realistic. for the legs i used the techniek that Pujic told on flytyersonline its very easy en works great ,bay the way thanx for sharing that. yesterday i also made a mayfly well it is not realy a realistic one but it gets close and i think it will hook a lot of fish in the river i fish in kind regaurds johan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
