albannachxcuileag Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 and who says tyers aren't innovative eh?...cool idea... DBT, the first of these I did with black thread but if you use red, orange or yellow, you will get some translucency with the film and get the indication of a different coloured abdomen. Getting the rib is the tricky part, trying to keep it even as you wind on the ES film. Another favourite buzzer from similar materials across here is the Videotape buzzer - scotfly has an SBS on this in our forum in the Step by Step section UK Fly Dressers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuppsincomprehensible Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 This pattern works very well in Britain. It is actually an Irish pattern that I managed to erm..........liberate!!! from a good pal. He tells me that he in turn liberated it from an Irishman who acted as a guide for him on Loch Corrib. I know what you are all thinking, it is totally the wrong colour, well actually no because when you add water The jungle cock cheek is representative of blood that becomes visible at the 'head end' of the pupa. I think it forms an interesting contrast against the dark red blood colour that the dubbing turns when wet. I hope that some of this proves at least a bit worthwhile to some of you.
