Weird. Can you see the links that appear in your sig, now?

Hi,
I see the links you are posting, however, I can not see any links in my
signature at all. If I try to post a link in my messages it won't let me
post them. I see a message at the bottom of my posts that says I need
to have 25 posts in order to see links.

Something is not right because the number of posts I've made has not
changed. It's stuck at 15.

Mark, that's a very neat web site. I do have Hughes' "Wet Flies" and I
like the ideas of flymphs and soft hackles a lot. Many of the flies I
tie have soft hackles. I also noticed that when you tie yours on curved
hooks, the body is rather short (exeption is your black star). I was
wondering if that is some sort of a rule to keep the body short or if
that is just a personal preference?

Hi Karel,
Glad you like the site. I'll add more patterns after I get moved and
begin my tying sessions once more.

Body length, for me, is really a matter of preference and imitation to
some extent. I try to make the bodies end on the shank, on most of the
flymphs, so that if you drew a line downward it would strike the barb
about half way through. I've often tied the Black Gnat very short to
look, actually, more gnat-like. Tied longer, I think it works great for
dark or black caddis. Also, spiders are tied, generally, on shorter
shanked hooks with fairly short bodies or with the hackle actually
wound over the body.

Everyone ties a little differently and has little quirks, so to speak.
Tie what works the best for you, or better still, for what the fish
like. You'll find your fishing more rewarding if you do.

Mark

correctly.

Have a look Dennis--and thanks for answering!
