last night at the first Bull Shoals Wolly Buggers (thass what he said he's gonna call the club, lmao), meeting.....i spent most of the time learning two things. A new knot to me......forget what he calls it, but it's very easy (and i'm terrible with knots, hate the things), and perfect for letting a streamer or other fly be able to swing in the current. It's just a knot that ends up putting your fly in a little loop, so it can wiggle. Gotta love it.
And then i learned a way to do weaved bodies, which is also very easy once you "get it." So i've been doing some weaved bodied flies the last couple days. ASAP i'll try and post something with a body done like that. Mine still aren't comming out as good as they will........but, (while quite time consumming), it's an awful lot of fun. So far i've been using mostly vinyle rib materials to do the bodies.....works pretty good. i doubt i'll ever get on a weaved bodies kick, but it'll be fun to show kids at shows and the like.
