albannachxcuileag Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Those of you familiar with Mike Conners will remember that he posted a method of creating a nymph style fly called the Glymph, This was a hook coated in UHU and to which loose dubbing was applied to and when dry formed a reasonably durable nymph, this is a step in the same direction. I was stripping a few peacock herls and the pile of debris was growing, it was about to be swept into the palm of the hand for disposal in the waste bag when I remembered his technique and put a hook in the vice to which I wrapped 2 layers of thread and whipped off. I coated this in varnish and stuck it into the the pile of herl waste and this is the result. After drying I tested the durability and a few fibres came off but the majority remained giving a basis to form buzzers and nymphs from. Here is the same technique on an FM 31160 super grub hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
