Dono NOT loose wrapped ! nice even tight touching turns ! iain
Iain, I have long clear polar bear, which is probably pretty similar when stranded. But I would like to try the clear stallion, as the underbody could really be played with then (and I could save my PB for better uses). On your recipe, I would do everything but the varnishing. These Potts weave flies feel really different with the loose weave hair.
Did you get the photo of the shark-fly?
