WOVEN FUN
I have been playing with some woven flies, and they work well for me on bluegills in this area. I had tied on some legs, and then wove around the legs to add action to the fly. Then a very dangerous thing happened, my mind went in a few weird directions. I decided to run the rubber legs through the loops on the material being woven. I did that and the legs stayed in place but were pointed down. I tied up five variations of body colors with four colors of legs.
Rick, it’s always enjoyable reading your articles. I wonder if there is a picture of your leggy woven flies anywhere?
Spezio fly in the FOTW. Was in in that last few months.

Rick,
after reading your article it reminded me of the first woven patter I tried, the tussle bug, caught several SM’s and one of the largest crappies, on a fly, in one local waters I fish allot. Woven flies are a great once you learn the weaving techniques. I find the the granny knot or shuttle weaves to be the best for me.
Thanks for the great story enjoyed it.
