Japanese Nymph Legs

Are they available in the UK?

If so,from whom, as I am having difficulty in locating. Or is there a reasonable substitute?

Cheers in advance

Chris,

Take a look here:

Kind regards

Paint brush bristles Chris. A lot of realistic tyers use that as a sub.

jesus phil,



they are very nice flies there

Bruce,

You are not wrong! Superb imitations but "models" on a hook - with the number of hours taken to tie each pattern, they are certainly not fishing flies!

Paul does have a series of patterns in his book that you can fish with - lovely creations and easier to tie than the "art on a hook" series.

Kind regards

Cheers Phil

I'l take a look.

Just an aside you are absolutely right about differences between realistic and fishing flies!

Like the paintbrush tip.

That's a book I am going to have to get, if only to understand the techniques better. I am currently digesting Mr Edwards' Masterclass.
