Woven nymphs are easy to tie, once you surrender to the fact, you have two left hands.Sat down to try a woven nymph. FTS. My hands won't do it. At least not today. Threw some simiseal and grouse on it instead. View attachment 93369
I've gotten in a funk with Hare's ear patterns, I really like the peacock herl thorax! Nifty.
Just love the way you tie Norm, very nice. As this is my favorite fly I play with it a lot. Adding a little orange thread tip behind the body under the tail makes a statistical difference in my catch rate. A guard hair tail tends to fish better than hackle fibers, burnt or orange thread better than brown, which is better than black. Sometimes I rib with yellow floss and tie with a matching silk. I try lots of variations. Worked up a bunch with grouse hackle recently.I've gotten in a funk with Hare's ear patters, I really like the peacock herl thorax! Nifty.
