Mark, Sorry it took me so long to answer your question, but I just got home from a very long 48 hour shift on the ambulance... This is the way I was shown by Al Campbell from FOAL... ***once you have tied in the peccary hair and finished the fly, you take needle nose tweezers and gently bend the hair at the desired locations and cut them to length... Then take black nail polish and paint the legs to look like the actual legs of the fly****
I've found that once you paint the legs, they will stay in the position you want... no problem...
