samboman 319 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 very nice mate, what does the foam do? does it dive as you strip and then rise when paused?Sambo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afishyfish 4 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ever tried a Gum-moth fly FN That would possibly be a killer :woohoo: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keen as 0 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 very nice beutifully made fly, i think i had read about them some time back in (i think) a flylife mag.can i ask(without you letting all your trade secrets out)how is the top foam section held to the body,as it seems it only has one wrap of thread?

fishnuts 55 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Keen As,Now that's a secret trick of the trade but I'll tell you anyway. The base is tied in under the shank then the top is tied in on top of that. You then spiral the thread along the shank to secure the bottom section. Then run a bead of glue along the top of the shank and under foam, then just tie off the front nose piece. I hope that's not too confusing, if it is you may just have to buy some from me . Good luck and thanks for your comments.AFF,I tie a pretty wicked Bogong moth and have also tied some that look like little birds and lizards.1Fish you are on the button mate Cheers Dazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That'd be interesting to see.Next thing you'll be doing a barra trip and tying up small Crocs Just sold the last batch mate, I'll take some pics when I tie some more. A small croc fly would definitely take a bit of foam to do Cheers Dazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
