#32 Tutorial - flygoddess - 11-10-2009 This was requested on the Utah FF board, but this is FLY TYING forum so here it is. Here is a list of material. You can use Snow Shoe Bunny feet (hair between the toes). I use the Para Post because it is less money, easier to work with, and my wiener dog won't eat the para post material[mad] Fibbets white, black thread 14/0, and white para-post Use thumb nail to push tail fibers up: Tie the Para Post material in WULFF Style. Figure 8. I also wrap each post a couple of times. Here it is with the wings clipped: [signature] Re: [flygoddess] #32 Tutorial - peter805 - 11-10-2009 OMG that fly is small.[] Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] #32 Tutorial - Jim_T - 11-10-2009 That looks great and not too difficult to tie. What is that fly called? After catching some nice fish on small flies this past year, I'm becoming a believer! I used to fish 14's and above but now I'm venturing into the 18-22 sizes.

[signature] Re: [flygoddess] #32 Tutorial - Dryrod - 11-10-2009 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3] You can get a 6x through a 32 eye? I'm lucky if I could get a rope through the eye of one of the Queen Mary's anchor. Ah to have young eyes again.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] #32 Tutorial - flygoddess - 11-10-2009 I do use magnifiers, but the 20/20 magnetic threader does work also. [signature]
