Weedy1 Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Is that a Prince nymph? Just buggin ya big guy, settle down. Nice fly and original too!!! Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 'whatever' lol, jk, you might beat me up! Its frigging tough to get the bead NOT to slide forward after the addition of all the materials (even when you put a chunk of thread infront of it..) so thats why the wraps are so evident. I got better at making it fit better, but the legs didn't turn out as good as that one... lotsa time till spring, and knowing me, i'll tie 2 dozen, to find them useless Quote

Lundvike Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Newbie question of the day: Why are you concerned about the bead sliding forward? I doesn't look like there is anywhere for it to go in your picture. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I meant when i was tying it in. I'm not a fan of the thread being exposed on top of the beadhead, and since the glass bead slides forward when i'm tying it, i can't get my wraps to tuck under nicely btw Andy, vs wooo, 8.7 million dollars a year.....see if i can take over his life Quote
