Fly Tying

Start body and legs     View in Low Resolution     Heat up the eye of a sewing needle with a propane cigarette lighter, then jamb it over an ice pick to make a wide-eyed needle for rubberleg sewing. Then, for smaller (1" or less) nymphs, sew in the rubberlegs at the start, as shown. Sewing in at the tail and then dimpling the abdomen with the rubber tail strands straddling along the sides of the abdomen adds needed strength to the extended fly body. For larger salmon fly sized nymphs (Pteronarcys Californica, etc) you can sew the tails in at a later step.
