Nick Thomas who wrote the article in the Dec issue of FFFT on
using Organza is online at the Bodies in the Window…USD Duns post.
Nick has kindly given me very detailed instructions relating
to quetions I had about tying in the Organza.
He has included photos of three flies which you need to look
at to see the fantastic effects he can achieve.

]]>Attached are my attempts at producing the footprint
and body profile in the trout’s window.
It is basically an upside down fly. It works very well for me.
One fly is a Light Olive, the other a Summer Mayfly
I also use the funneldun and other methods.
This one, uses a hackle which is tied in using, what I call,
for the want of a better name, the Reversed Paraloop method,
which is simply a variation, on Ian Moutter’s
terrific Paraloop method.
You can use any shop bought wing.
I produce my own wings from Cling Film and burn them to form
what I call a Tennis Racket wing.
The idea is; the name describes the frame and also the cling film membrane,
which stretches between the rim or frame of the “racket” and forms
the insects wing.
They provide the structural strength longitudinally
and flexibility transversely ,which is what I am looking for,
in a wing of this type.
The thinness of the cling film results in you overcoming the
problems, normally associated with, tying in plastic.
Also the wings flex during casting so, you do not have “the spin”
which means they land cocked upright…........ most of the time.
Hope you like it,
Gavin
