Does anyone have the recipe for this fly? I have googled in vain.
Thanks,

I also did a Google search and the first hit lead me to:
http://troutseeker.blogspot.com/2008/10/woven-body-fly-history-by-robert.html The tying instructions can be found in Grant's book, The Master Fly Weaver. One of Grant's greatest accomplishments is his writing. His two books, The Master Fly Weaver and Montana Trout Flies, record for us the history and techniques for many of the woven fly patterns. It has been through the writing of Grant that many of us modern fly weavers have learned our craft. Dan Bailey was creating a woven fly in the 1930s. His pattern was an imitation of the stoneflies found in many of the Western rivers. His woven artificial was called the Mossback and was originally tied with monofilament or horse hair. Later versions tied by other tiers were tied with different colors of nylon hair. The Dark Mossback had a black nylon hair back and a olive nylon hair belly. The Light Mossback had a dark olive nylon hair back and a cream underside. Other fly tiers have used the Bailey weave to create such flies as the Bitch Creek (woven black and orange chenille) and the George's Brown Stone (woven brown and cream yarn). Hope this helps. Bob |

For those that have tied woven patterns, how hard is this to learn? I've always wanted to try it but I don't know if I can?
Thanks, Tim |

There's an Oliver Edwards' DVD called "Woven Flies" where he shows how-to-tie a series of woven flies. Best Bob |

You can't go wrong with the Oliver Edwards DVD. I had been tying woven flies for some time and a friend loaned me his copy. I ordered one for myself after
I returned his. Many different methods of weaving are demonstrated by Mr. Edwards. The DVD is expensive, but worth it if you want to have such a reference.
If you are interested, there is a basic demo on the overhand knot weave at a forum members website. The last three are woven patterns. The Tussle bug has a step by step picture tutorial. http://www.loup-garou.net/flytying.html |

Bob & flyslinger, I think the DVD would be a good tool and the Tussle bug pattern provided in the link is a great pattern in itself for the warmwater
fishing here in Kansas. Very interesting, Thanks. There's a really good tutorial available by searching FAOL. Its in the Advanced Tying portion of the
site.
Tim

Ted Leeson and Jim Schollmeyer devote an entire section (#12) of Chapter 10 in their book, THE FLY TIER'S BENCHSIDE
REFERENCE to Techniques and Dressing Styles, to doing woven bodies. As would be expected from these two, it is very well illustrated with step-by-step
photos. They describe how to do10 different weaves, including Toril Kolbu's crochet weave. Well worth the read.
