Nice one Tim! I was shown that method of creating a "dubbing rope" to make bodies about 50 years ago - been using it ever since. First time I have seen it used in a video. If you dub the noodle a bit thicker and longer, then fold about 30% of the noodle back on itself it will twist up into a firm, tapered rope that will form a distinctly segmented and tapered body that doesn't need a rib.
Tim, meeting you at the show in denver was a pleasure. I'm michael, the kid who liked to tie euro nymphs. I am also thinking of doing competitive fly fishing someday. I was looking at it online, and it looks fun! Nice video, michael

Well.... that’s one to add to list. Thanks for the clean up tip on the head, simple and useful.
That’s a great looking fly! Thanks for sharing your version. 👍👍🎣
Ive seen his pl atterns from long ago and have always loved them...he was all about practical...I'm sure he would approve of your take.
Talked with you at the Atlanta show today! I love your videos!
Good job again Tim.
Excellent tying!

Great fly! I will try these, TY TL!
For years I've seen a little yellow Isoperla on Van Campens. Leisenring was a genius. Maybe this yr I'll fish only flymphs.
Wow very nice

Where do you get your fly tying materials from?
Thanks for the update. I am 40 years out of date.
Great fly. See Sylvester Nemes for more effective soft hackle fly designs!
