Well, you talked me into it. I'll have to try weaving a few nymphs. I have a magazine around here somewhere that describes single and double overhand weaves, but if you have any tips, or links to a good tutorial that would be helpful, would appreciate it. I haven't checked flytyingforum yet, but probably some info on there.
The main benefit of weaving that appeals to me is the ability to get a top color and a bottom color for the abdomen, a lot of nymphs are lighter on the bottom than the top. - and you get a segmented texture. Lots of possibilities there, and I'll bet the wire ones sink well.
A few questions.
I tried weaving a green rock worm a few months ago with a thread of an upholstery cord, came out ok, but I suspect that choice of what to weave makes a difference in how easy to tie they are. What wires, lines or cords have you liked to weave?
Can you mix material?, like weave mono and wire together?
Do you use different weaves, or have a favorite?
Thanks for posting the pics.
Michael
