Mike, Instead of pointing down you mean? There are three answers to that - pick one or more as you see fit ;-) 1. Balances the pattern just a little better 2. On the natural the legs are off to the side of the thorax, feet in film 3. Because that is where I aimed to have them (grin) Cheers, Hans W
This is a pretty fly, to me... Two questions, Hans, if you can make time... The hook used (like a TMC 200R or Daiichi 1270) is 3x long. On this style of hook, where do you consider the end of the shank to be? How would you equivalent this hook's #14 size to the size of, say, a Kamasan 170 or Daiichi 1550? Mike
John,
I would moisten/soak the biots if they show any sign of brittleness - generally not an issue with the biots I have used.
Cheers,

Nice pattern for eastern US streams as well. Do you ever soften or moisten your biots? Thanks for the upload and great demonstration as always.

Hi Hans...why were the legs left "high" against the body? Thanks for tying this! MJG.
