| Fishing Tips |
This is probably the most difficult fly I have tied for a fly swap, and, unfortunately, some of you got ones that are much better than others. The greatest difficulty I had was trying to keep the fly from becoming too bulky when the biot, CDC wings, Z-lon and CDC legs all had to be tied in at about the same spot. I partially solved this by going to 12/0 thread, but I still had to be careful to keep from taking more loops than was absolutely necessary.
Hope you enjoy it! |
