Fly Tying
Andreas

Ephemera Vulgata, first try on the body and wing techniques.

Recommended Posts

Andreas...The top view really makes the fly stand out. What materials did you use? Always nice to see something new. Later.

raffia/marker-pens for the finish, hackle stems for the legs (partially wound with thread for enhanced shape), scotch tape technique for the wings (first try, with the wrong tape by the way). Mono-eyes.

 

Quite thick mono as the underbody in the extended part.

 

Like the way it turned out. Looking forward to the next one, with perfect wings, enhanced colouring, and a better tapered abdomen ;)

 

thanx for kind words you guys! Appreciate it, really
