Nick: I like your tutorial for the Royal Wulff. I have a suggestion for step 19. After the wings have been secured in position, and you are ready to clip the butts of the calf hair, don't clip them at a right angle to the hook. Tip your scissors and clip the butts on an angle, tapering toward the tail. If you clip them in this manner, you can help shape the tapered body: thicker behind the hackle, and thinner at the tail. Hope this makes sense.

I did a step-by-step focusing just on a specific hair wing technique, using the Royal Wulff only as a "model" for it. (Thought a beautiful pattern would make more people want to try the hair wing trick.) It was done for our fly-fishing club's site, so of course in Swedish. But I have been working on translating them anyway and this morning I started on the Royal Wulff. Well, now I'm done and it's printable. 27 steps... is that enough? ;o) http://www.lffk.se/flugbindning/royalwulff_en.htm /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Taylor, Lance Skickat: den 3 januari 2008 18:11 Till: [email protected] Ämne: RE: [VFB] Royal Wolf Seen note by Pacres' the other day also. Interesting.. the "Twelve Flies of Xmas Theme".

I suspect there might be a video demo there, and or, look in the on demand section of 'Angler's Art'- PBS series here - http://www.kwsu.org/KWSU_NWPR/OnDemand/OnDemand.aspx. And... finally.. there is an actual FAOL tying demo here: http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/beginners/part19.html Aye, long tyes.. but a worthy pattern. I never leave home without them. =) LT _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Machon Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 8:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [VFB] Royal Wolf Not that I'm aware of. The nice thing about that site is the detail each of the steps goes into. The awkward part is there are so many steps. So an FAOL or other more consolidated page would print better, but might not give you the detail. To answer your other question, for the swap I would worry more about the color of the materials than getting them "right". As you pointed out, depending on the pattern recipe you use there will be different materials listed. So for the wings, either white calf tail or calf body hair will work, neatly stacked and evenly divided. The body hair, which is straighter, will stack easier, but either could be "correct". Same for the tail. I think moose hair is the most commonly called for, but dark brown deer or elk hair will work, too. For a fly to fish, just getting close usually works. The fish don't care as much as tiers do :) JMHO Kev > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [VFB] Royal Wolf > Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 01:54:41 -0600 > > Kevin, Allan, Anybody: Can you tell me if there is a way to print out all > the steps to the flies at Troutflies.com/tutorials in a continuous > printout???
