MeddelandeNick, 1. You are right on with the weave, but I would include more photos with how to end the process or different ways to end up. One can be with hook-shank left over (stonefly tail), using one material to batten down the other down and make the underbody on the front portion. Or, for a weave-to-eye fly, like a soft-hackle, re-attaching the thread to tie both ends down with enough room to finish up.
I do a double (or single) rope-dub variation of this weave. Simple, fast, weighted, and durable. The advanced rope-dub DVD #2 will have all of the steps for this. The other weave I use is a overhand knot weave. Here's just one tutorial: http://www.hatchesmagazine.com/page/month/370 2. On the touch-dub, it's a very good technique if you use a dubbing that is suitable for it, like you did- nice job, Jester. I still use the rope-dub to get the same effect with many different dubbings, including synthetics. Again, see DVD #2. ;o) DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Niclas Runarsson To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 5:23 AM Subject: [VFB] Step-by-steps... comments? I have made two technique step-by-steps, Parallel Weave and Touchdubbing. It's online but has not been linked to from the main site yet. I thought I would "fish" some on the list first (and with 'fish', I don't mean just from you, Allan). Anyone having any comments on them? http://www.swedneckflyfishing.com/parallelweave_steps.htm http://www.swedneckflyfishing.com/touchdubbing_steps.htm /Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
