The thing with woven nymphs, downturned eyes, and top mounted beadchain is the fly will probably fish upside down. Charles Brooks wrote in his once famous book that he tied all his flies in the round because in rivers they tend to spiral, so he wanted them to be less obviously rotating in an unnatural way given all sides looked the same. If you reverse the color so the dark is on the "bottom", given that your hook will be stable "upside down", it might work better. But then maybe Brooks' concerns were unfounded.
I see what your saying and I did not consider that. Great point. Fly design is one of my favorite things, going to the river, see what their biting, then going home and tying it to perfection. Then going back and fishing it a bit better.
@@arvillaflies Please mention that for rookies moving forward. Maybe you did but I don't recall. Regardless mucho bueno! Remember you are teaching the next generation... words matter.
my b, my tripod is quite short so its hard for me to get a good top down/side view of the weaving. I would love to in the future though! In the future i plan on making a whole video describing that technique one day, because there are knot that many on RUclips. Thank you for your input!
I appreciate the fact that the video didn't take and hour and a half as some do. And he did show the technique, it is called weaving, there are plenty of other sources, and it has to be an Icomprehension thing if you didn't get it from the video, it is super obvious. Run it half speed if you need to. Polish woven nymphs are common and there are lots of videos on the internet.
You skipped the step where you put a strip of lead? lengthwise parallel to the lead you wound on, I am guessing to widen the body? It just appears out of nowhere! But if you want to show us how to tie your fly, it needs to include ALL the steps not just SOME! DUH!!
I really impressed he has the barb bent down

@@andrewvoorhees4062 Very true, thank you for your comment.
Get A Grip, Man! You´re not showing the macrametechnique at all... Thumbs Down by me - otherwise An OK Fly!

I don't think your seaing it right.

For your convenience, I have included the a copy of this footage including that step: ruclips.net/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/видео.html
