Looks good, Wayne. I love watching Davie's videos, he makes everything look so easy. For some reason, when I try to duplicate his flies, they never quite look the same.

Thanks you two. I am going to play with this technique a little on some micro patterns. Weird, I have used this on nymphs but never thought of applying it to achieve such a slim profile on Flymphs.

LIKE! Elegant way of adding another level of realism to a pattern. Thanks for sharing the link. I had not seen this video.

That is very nicely done, Wayne. Simple and elegant and "fishy".
