Hi Rick, You will know what works best for you after trying a bit of both ways. Personally I prefer 'Wing-Tail-Body-Hackle'. By tying in the wing first the stub from it can work as an underbody, that's easily shaped by cutting it little by little backwards on the hook and then covered with thread. Nicely shaped underbody makes the body work easier, when you don't have to hassle with using the body material to shape it.
But don't forget...that's just what I prefer because it works best for ME. Try out other ways yourself. Maybe you find another way that works better for you. Then, when the next one comes to this list asking, you can give him YOUR method to try out. More ideas will make it easier for him. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r beckrich richard Skickat: den 28 juni 2004 04:24 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: [VFB] tying parachutes I have a question about tying a parachute on a fly. When starting with a hook then tying in the wing and then the hackle?? Or should I start with the tail and body then the wing and hackle??
