I know zero about this bug. I'm just trying to be social and take an
interest in the PennClave. Thinking about "white, glassy, extended
abdomens" last night I remembered a section on extended bodies in Shane
Stalcup's ( sp?) book on mayflies bottom to top..... if my old memory
serves
you posted that you got the book The first one he shows looks great
to
my not too good at fly tying eye ... and I think you could build it soft
enough and mount it to hinge a little to minimize hooking problems


Okay, got enough of Tom's bugs tied, now working on the extended body, ala
Stalcup. Remembered I've tied these before.
Hint, if anyone else gets squirrely and wants to tie and extended body on a
needle, before starting, "grease" your needle with dubbing wax. It makes it
so much easier to get the finished product off of the needle.
