SteveM Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Dougie's Rhyac This is getting towards art! That's a lot nicer than most so-called "art"; thanks for sharing, AC. Quote
rusty Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 The best thing about that pattern is how nice and slim the head is. I see a lot of caddis larva patterns with big beefy heads and I think that they don't look as natural as that fly. Quote
bulltrout Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 i wouldn't toss a fly like that...it wouldn't leave the shadow box... Quote
toolman Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 A beauty tie. Here's a couple of Caddis larva from the Bow river in May. Quote
hydropsyche Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 That is just gorgeous. Wow. But I think I like Tango's woven flies better. He wouldn't happen to have a SBS on those, would he? Quote
Tango Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I'll be doing a video sbs of the weaving soon, can't use a still camera beacause I'd need 4 hands. Or if you can weave already I can knock up a quick sbs for you. Quote

Or if you can weave already I can knock up a quick sbs for you. I can do some weaves, others need a lot more practice. I can wait for the video. Please, PM me if I miss it. I really like the uniformity of those flies. They look like they would be very effective, too. Thanks. Quote
Harps Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I really like that pattern. Very well done. Is that an O. Edwards thing to add the gills along the side like that? I think I've seen some methods like that from him... I think it's great and adds movement in the right place to the fly. The side gills are pretty obvious on caddis in the water. The method is cool, but time consuming... My first attempt at that style (mayfly) doesn't even come close to how those look. I think I need to use different materials as the gills... Quote
Harps Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Hey Tango, How much practice did it take to weave those so evenly??? They look absolutely brilliant! I'd like to see the video of you doing it. Mine always turn out lop-sided... Cheers, Quote
Tango Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Those were tied by another member, I wish mine were that neat. Quote
ladystrange Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 hey harps, with my first attempt at a weave, i used ostritch herl. seemed to work ok. a little time consuming you're right. i just have to get the herl in the middle instead of on one side. i'll try it again. it wasnt good enough to take a picture of. and then i fished it and lost it Quote
ladystrange Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 here. try this link potts weave video i forgot mark roberts did a video at my request because i was trying to figure out the weave but just wasnt connecting the description without the pictures. Quote
hydropsyche Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Tango posted a vid on how to do that weave. Check it out. (Thanks again, Tango). Off to the bench. Opps. Links aren't working. Give me a minute to figure it out. Works in preview but for some reason, doesn't work after submitting post. Maybe Tango can figure it out. Quote
Tango Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Weave now up on tying board, I had the same problem it worked in preview but not when posted, the direct link thing works though. Quote
