How to get the brush for the spring olives ?

[Stefan 1967 0]

Stefan, what thred are you using?

To me it seems that the head needs some more attention

I would use a 17\0 on that flie.

 

Hello Marian,

 

for nymphes and wet´s of this size I usually use Uni thread 6/0.

I think 17/0 is too thin to form the head (my opinion)

 

You are from Romania ? Where from ? I´ve been there on business trips to

Sibiu, Bucarest, Constanca, Blaj and some places I didn´t catch the names.

 

Do you have good fly fishing areas in RO?

 

Bye

Stefan

Hi,

 

That is my final post to the brush of the olive springs.

 

Please find attached a photo of my interim solution for tying the paraloop. For the moment a use a second vice (a friend´s vice) to do.

"Paraloop binden" means "tying of the paraloop"

 

Next step will be to modify my vice.

 

Bye

Stefan

Sorry for the late response, I have been busy restocking my flie box )

I m from Sibiu, there are some nice trout waters around here, if you would come in the summer, and have a free week-end, I can show you around

Here is the past summer

 

I use 17\0 for nymphs and 8\0 for dry or wet flies

The great advantage with the 17 \ 0 thread, is that you can tie very well with minimum wraps of thread

Hello Marian,

What size of nymphs and wets do we talk about ? I usually tie nymphs on hooks size 10 - 14. A very thin thread (17/0) makes no sense due to the fact that I realize also the head with the thread. 17/0 I use for dries size 14 and smaller.

Usually when I tie nymphs, a tungsten bead is in place of the head, that's why the 17\0 thred, it slips right behind the bead.

That is the perfect way to protect the knot from the trout's teeth

 

On wet flies, a 8\0 Black is my favorite thread
