However, if you want to add legs tie in the wing case with the tips hanging over the hook eye a little longer than the thorax. Then when you pull it over and tie off push the tips back and tie them off at the same time. Then clip the butts. Not my idea but you can see how from Barry Ord Clark here Tying the Pheasant Tail Nymph with Barry Ord Clarke - YouTube ( I know pheasant and not turkey but might work similarly...) Still think it looks great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flymanaj 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2020 This is how I tie pheasant tails. Two separate bunches of fiber. One for the tail and body then another for the legs and wingcase. The turkey tail nymph on the other hand is tied with one singular bunch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
