Another one from his book.



Put an swimmingnymph hook in your vise

Wrap some flat lead on it

Now use very thin thread( i use spiderweb) and tie in the tails,any fibers you want.

Cut of a piece of flexibody,about 3 millimeter wide.

Tie this in behind the lead and come back to the tails,as you tie it in you pull it a lil.

Put on some fine dubbing and wrap till about 2/3 of the hook.

Wrap the flexibody over the dubbing and whipfinnish.

On the underside you tie in 2 pair of legs on each side,take any fibers you want.

Put on some fine dubbing and wrap behind and in front of the legs,this way the legs stand up .

Cut of a piece of swiss straw/raffene,about 5 millimeter wide and 5 cm long

Fold this in lenght and wide,tie in op top of the hook.
Pull the wings a lil down so they stand on the side of the body.
Tie on this a cdc feather.

Make 2 wraps with the cdc feather and whipfinnish

Cut of a piece of swiss straw/raffene,about 6 millimeter wide and 5 cm long.

Tie this in on top of the hook,try to keep it flat,this will come over the head section.

Make the eyes from mono and a lightner.

Tie in the eyes on top,just behind the hookeye.

Put on some fine dubbing and make the head,bring the thread back to the cdc feather.

Fold the swiss straw/raffene over the head,if you make it a lil wet it stay's smooth,and make a few wraps.

Put on some fine dubbing and wind towards the head.
Whipfinnish here and cut of the thread.

To bad just 20 pics can be in 1 topic,others in next posting
