Obviously a while since I did this. Misremembered some details. To correct: * The materials are NOT tied in on top ov the hook. (Confused it with the Banded Weave, which I did much more recently.) * The Material B loop around Material A was clockwise and not counter clockwise. (Looked right in my head, maybe I was in another timezone when I did it last.)

In a Pott's weave, you start with both materials on the top of the hook. Make a full wrap around the hook with material A (which will create the fly's sides and belly) and when it's back on the top of the hook, hold it vertically and make a counter clockwise wrap around it with material B. Continue forward with another full wrap of Material A followed by a B loop around it on the top... and so on. Those loops with material B will create the back of the fly. A Pott's weave requires virtually no tension on Material B, since every loop gets secured to the back by Material A. I have even used ostrich herls. For the IOFF swap I tied a fly using Pott's weave. (Material A: Antron, Material B: Peacock herl.) http://fnfwilts.tripod.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/misc/show_image.html?linkedw idth=560&linkpath=http://fnfwilts.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderp ictures/nickr.jpg&target=_self&title=Niclas%20Runarsson /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Martin Westbeek Skickat: den 3 januari 2008 22:38 Till: [email protected] Ämne: Re: [VFB] Woven flies Rene, You could try a foam underbody, but a good weave must be quite tight. If the weave is not tight the knots will be all over the place. And that sort of defeats the purpose of using foam, I guess. You could do an Emerger with a submerged body. I tied one in one of the swaps a while ago. It's here: http://home.planet.nl/~westb001/Wovenbodyparaloopemerger.html This weave is a Pott's weave if I remember well Mart ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rene Zillmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 9:58 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Woven flies > Mart, > idea was to tie a hopper, but Schollmeyer says that woven bodies are > used only for subsurface flies.
