Ah yes, but does it curl up on its own?


Actually, when I saw the picture, I half expected it to. Nice work.

Nice picture and fly HFT. Knowing that they stretch out in water we all still tie them on a scud or curved hook. Makes you wonder.
I am into the Czech Nymphing with very heavy flies. This one I tied weighs 24 grams.
