( but . . . ya could just wrap a body color of your choice for the fly,
wrap hackle around the thorax, and then clip it on the top and bottom . .. . heck . . .not that I would ever do that : ) but it works. . . .uh . ..I'm told. ) That's exactly the process used to make a SuperPupa. The body is two-tone, but the legs are made by the process you describe. I tied up a dozen on an old Lapland clave, and found that the fish definately were striking at the body color. They all had the same legs, but the flys that were consistently most successful had a particular shading and ratio of dark front (1/3) to lighter thorax (2/3). I sent in a bunch for a fly swap that were as close to the most successful ones as I could make consistently. I'd be very curious to know if any roffians had any luck with them. Don't know what this has to do with this thread, but I just had to toss in my 2-cents. :-) --riverman |
