Travis Bille 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 I tie the jimmy Legs in a salmonfly pattern too, with a tungsten bead with black chenille wrapped over the top. I use orange for the legs, and then color the legs black above the knot so they're black next to the body and have orange "feet". I get the Life Flex at the fly shop, i think it's also called Flexi Floss and is sold as leg or body material, I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytyinfreak 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah, I do like the way they look, and especially that they can stand up and not droop. I'm working on a salmonfly pattern - those stonelfies are all body and legs - and my legs look OK, but not quite right. I'll look for some of that leg material (or is it leveraged from something else?) Jimboha! as long as the legs are the same length it makes little to no difference, they are moving freely and are basically an atractor to the fly.

Li'lDave 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2013 Hey Jimboha, Can I get an update on who's flies you've received? I gotta get my ar$e into gear and get tying. I think I'm nearly done so I can get them to you on time... Trouble is we've got a <5kt weekend coming up .... Only one or two to go... will see how they look and then I'll probably tie up another option for everyone as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
