mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2015 Those are beautifully ugly little bugs. Fishable, you say? Almost too pretty for that, unless you've an easy way to tie them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MW69 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Hi, @ mikechell: thank you. They are very easy to tie. It's just thread, thin creamy Latex, a little bit of Dubbing and Gold Pheasant Fibres... :-) @ Prybis: also thank you for your Statement. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MW69 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 Hi, @ artimus: thank you very much :-) @ mikechell: here comes a little description... Hook: TMC 400 T or similar, #14-16Thread: Roman Moser Power Silk, dark yellow or brownTails & Antenna: Golden PheasantLead: adhesive lead foilAbdomen: Power Silk, dark yellow or brown, getting thicker from tail to point where the thorax starts. Then colour it with a dark, waterproof pen. Now wind a fine, creamy Latex Strip around, starting from the end of the Abdomen until the point where the thorax begins. After that turn the Fly around and let very liquid clear varnish soack in. This makes the fine creamy Latex become translucent and you can see the coloration but it cannot washed away that easy when the Fly is in water Wing Cases & Head : Fine creamy Latex Strips. (After you completed the 2 Wingcases and the Head Section do the same as for the Abdomen with the varnish)Legs: Golden PheasantThorax: Antron Dub, dark yellow or brown, coloured on top with a dark waterproof penadditionally you can lacquer the whole upper side with varnish MW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 25, 2015 Those do look great. When you say "creamy" latex, are you referring to a specific type of latex or is "creamy" just the color? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
