Jeeze, nice job Steve. Really like how you controlled the head. ![]()
Steve,
Great looking fly. Can you tell me the materials used? Looking closely, is that glitter a film or sheet of some sort?

Thread: White flat-waxed monochord
Wing: Gree Super Hair over white Super Hair
Underbody: White wool
Skin: Shimmer Skin
Gill: Red Krystal Flash
Eyes: 3D stick on eye
Epoxy: Devcon 2-Ton
Nice fly.
I’ve got some of what bassman used in his dragon fly for wings …Whisper Wrapping…a bunch of it at Michael’s for peanuts ;)… I think it would be a great substitute for the shimmer skin…so I’m going to give it a try…Steve, does the name need to be changed then:rolleyes::rolleyes:.
LOL…You can call it whatever you want!
Steve, How about a little detail re: how you tied in the shimmer?
Is it one sheet / one side or two sheets…one each side?
BTW thanks for this weeks FOTW…this one might make a good one too.
What kind of wool did you use…source?
Do you think that wool looks translucent in the water?
