Ibonn 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2011 How did you fasten the flashabou strand to the hook? Did you wrap it over itself somehow? Great looking fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hans Weilenmann 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2011 How did you fasten the flashabou strand to the hook? Did you wrap it over itself somehow? Great looking fly. A strand of flashabou strand tied in just behind the hackle. Wrapped flat towards bend, and reversed towards hook eye. Cheers, Hans W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
