HOLY COW! I've been weaving the bodies on my nymphs all wrong! lol. I do it upside down and I actually wrap and weave around the hook shank simultaneously. But the way you did it with the little know and sliding the loop over the shank looks way easier and more consistent than the way I've been doing it. I love the pattern too by the way. Thank you for posting it!
+q1fly1 Oh I agree 100%. Practice makes perfect. And being new to fly tying I need all the practice I can get. I've tied a dozen or so of these in 3 different colors since first watching this video and the knotting technique you demonstrated here proved to be more consistent than the weaving. When weaving, I have a tendency to pull too hard on one side and sometimes the bodies are a little crooked on the hook shank. Again, thanks for the tips!
Very important is the good shape of the body. If you do it carelessly will never be a good effect. From proper sculpt the body depends on the good end result. Each node must tighten and be careful not to breaks in between segments. Look even at these links : th-cam.com/video/upIYgQkEgTk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/f5hWu_TEBV8/w-d-xo.html
Hi ! Dubbing should be rough. Such that after combing leaves little thread imitating legs. For the body you can use any thick thread, twist or viscose.

Very nice tying. Liked the piano too ;)
Thanks Alin !!! :-)
it is a good patern for winter flytying because it is more time consuming :D
Magnifique ! Plus facile a regarder qu'a faire !!!!!!! Merci pour la démo !!
Merci pour vos commentaires. Il est vraiment facile. Nécessite une formation. Cordialement !!!
Very nice what type of dubbing was that and thread for the weeving ?

Nice Pattern...Well done
I think I may have missed it, but did you list your 'ingredients'? If you could it would be helpful. Where does one get that plastic material? Thanks
Hello Larry
It is the "Body Stretch". You can buy in any store fly tying.
+q1fly1 Thank you for your reply
Trés belle réalisation
Merci pour votre avis !!!
Thanks Ken!
Супер.
Nice but you don't show and demo the weave.
Nice one.
Thanks Marcel
