not a big fan of pre made legs but to a fisherman man o man that looks good..ive used there shellbacks before but add round rubber for legs,tails and antennae.. nice clear instruction for sumonw wanting to tie it..

Hi my Bud! I made some notes as I watched you work. You are a superb tyer, I’ll start with that. Take a wrap under those tails and place a tiny bit of head cement at the base of the tails, they will splay nicely and stay there. Also, to align the wire with the sides of the shank I use a pair of pliers and pinch the shank from front to back while holding the pliers level. The flat edges of the pliers force the wire to be equal on both sides and aligned properly. I have only 1 question..I thought you would have applied the legs after partially dubbing the thorax and then dubbed between the legs to cover the middle section that hold the legs, why didn’t you do that? Cheers my man.

Looks good but by my experience securing anything to a fly using adhesive alone usually does not last... Nice pattern...Thank You

[@richardduvall6512]

Nice pattern but way to big for the rock clingers in my streams in south western PA or norther West Virginia

Well done instructional video. Sorry, but it's simply too contemporary a tie for me. It does look very real though!

Any fly fisherman who use this kind of flies don't deserve any fish!

[@edherrmann182]

Deserving or not, they catch fish. Sometimes being a purist has merit. When traditional flys aren’t working, sometimes flies like this work really well.

[@Kaizenpro]

Nothing “natural” about using artificial features for legs and back. Not my preference!

Is this called The Abomination? Very thick for most clingers and not a huge fan of pre-fab stuff. Just more man-made crap that can end up in our rivers.
