Del Make sure you have a good tight base of tying thread or floss on the hook shank. Also try tying a strip of mono to the sides of the hook shank. This will help prevent twist and will also give you fly bodies a flater apperance similar to a natural nymph. George Grant of Montana wrote two excellant books The Master Fly Weaver and Montana Trout Flies. A lot of useful info and history in these titles. Hope this is of some help. Mel Hocken
