As payment for services rendered to a friend, I present a first, half-a.sed attempt at a woven Polish nymph; a ScottP always pays his debts. Lots of real good videos and SBS's out there (heck of a lot better than this).




hook - Dai Riki 135 #10
weight - .025 lead-free
thread - Danville 6/0 brown
underbody - Uni Strech brown
body - embroidery floss brown & yellow
rib - copper wire small
thorax - hare's ear/antron dubbing
head - 1/8" brass bead black


Part 1



Mash down barb and slide bead on shank





10 wraps of lead-free; jam it inside the bead





Unit stretch to create smooth underbody





tie in rib





dark matter on the far side





light on the near side





invert hook and grab both strands of floss (constant tension is key here; lack of is the reason this fly came out a bit shakey)





*note - some of the following pics are a bit out of focus; hard to hold 2 strands of floss and camera at the same time




cross light across the bottom (topside in the inverted world)





dark over light and then across the top (underside in the inverted world)





repeat
