[john_mac]

a cdc jig


cdc dun


and my first attempt at a baetis nymph (sort thing)


cheers,

john

nice ties john like the proflie of the baetis nymph. What have you used for the legs?

[john_mac]

pheasant tail, pulled straight from the feather so you get a nice hooked bit at the butt of the fibre.

ah I see, how do you tie them in though?

[john_mac]

tie them in facing down the hook, then dub the thorax (hares ear) behind it so it stick out at a right angle

hope this helps
