Tom L Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'd heard that some streams have big hatches of damselflies and the fish really gorge on them. I took Mike G's suggestion about blending the craft furs in a coffee grinder, but since I needed only a small amount I chopped and blended by hands. This one is very simple tail = craft furs body = dubbing of blended craft furs rib = gold fine wire eyes = plastic eyes This is #7 and 5 more to go......

Tim A Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Nice bugs. What size & model of hook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Nice work Tom. Your next challenge if you accept it is blending this Chenille. Shown below side by side are six strands of chenille. How long would it take to dub 62 yards? Note:it does not have to be one continuous strand. This message will not self distruct in 60 seconds.
