I also finally learned how to whip finish.I ditched the whip finish tool and used my fingers instead-so much easier!

Like the bugs, very neat.  Wot's the body material for the top left bug?

[paulr]

Hi Ian,
They are varnished flexifloss. They have plenty of lead wrapped underneath, I use them as my "anchor" to get the other nymphs down.
They catch fish too though, I reckon they look like a grub/leatherjacket.
cheers
Paul

Nice bugs Paul and your dry's a good looker too Buzz. I'll need to find the time to sit down and do some grayling bugs soon - the Clydes a calling. Just need to wait for the rain to cease so that the Clyde can do some falling too.  :?
