I reckon Terje would love this one, might even convert the granny weave master to wet fly fishing

Cassady- without seeing Ray at the vice it's hard to tell, but I think it might be what's known as "the Parallel Weave (also referred to as a Shuttle Weave at times)" It creates a round back and flat underbelly and if done well the change of direction spots (where the 2x strands cross) line up along the side of the body. Looks easy when done by a practiced hand, but far from it in reality, uniform tension and fluid movement are the key. It's amazing to watch a Czech/polish nymph expert knock one of these weaves out at lightning speed.

Or Lawrence Finney do it with wire..... By the time his hands came into focus- he was finished the weave!

Karsten - Nice to see you around. I've missed your participation. You are correct. The abdomen is done with the "Parallel Weave" technique (Jeff - it is the same technique used by Lawrence). There is little chance of me converting Terje to tye a subsurface pattern. Just ain't in his nature.

You're probably right on the Terje front buddy, he does need/invite the occasional friendly dig in the ribs for his Purism. I reckon suggesting fishing a soft hackle in the film is no different to him fishing emergers could be the perfect prod

It feels good to be back, it's been far too long

Great to see you back, Karsten.
