I have made two technique step-by-steps, Parallel Weave and Touchdubbing.
It's online but has not been linked to from the main site yet. I thought I
would fish some on the list first (and with 'fish', I don't mean just from
you, Allan).
Anyone having any comments on them?
I liked both, the parallel weave in particular. One way to solve the end of
weave process is to have the thread tied in where you end ahead of time,
hold both strands of woven material in one hand wrap thread w/ the other.
As to the touch dubbing, I'll try it on smaller hooks. Not sure why, but

Fish slowly and thoroughly. Haste never pays dividends. Don't whip the
stream to a froth. Make fewer casts. Make them to places which count an
fish each cast out instead of lifting it prematurely.

Not sure if I got you right there, but if you mean having the thread tied in
during the weaving process, this is hard... since one hand will be moving
back and forth under the hook and the bobbin will be hanging in the way.
Holding both strands in one hand and wrapping with the other when securing
Don't have the bobbin hanging directly below the hook, have the thread
straight out from the hook similar to the way the Nor vise is setup, w/ the
bobbin closer to your chest instead of off to the right. It might be a
little more awkward, but it would make finishing the weave easier. Think of

Try the high density foam bed role sold by camping stores for backpackers.
Its about 3/8 inch thick, tough, washable, CHEAP and cuts with a sharp knife.
its about 6 foot by 18 inch

If you mean hanging it up using the bobbin cradle, then the cradle's
horizontal part under the jaws, will block the way completely and you won't
be able to get any material under the hook.

MeddelandeNick,
1. You are right on with the weave, but I would include more photos with how
to end the process or different ways to end up. One can be with hook-shank
left over (stonefly tail), using one material to batten down the other down and
make the underbody on the front portion.

Would it hold up to mud, sand, rocks etc. that are brought
into the boat by wading boots? PROBABLY
Would it stay put, or would I have to glue
it down? NO IDEA DEPENDS HOW YOU MOVE ABOUT

I thought about building them, but from research I learned that adjustable
floats are best, and easy to remove are even better. I haven't experienced
yet what the advantages are, but I have read that the outriggers must be up
when under motor-drive. Maybe they aren't strong enough to handle the

I am reading a book called Active Nymphing: Aggressive Strategies for
Casting, Rigging, And Moving the Nymphs By Rich Osthoff. In the
book he talks of moving the nymph, not just like streamer fishing but
casting upstream and stripping the nymph (not streamer). I am a dead

Some species of nymphs are swimmers, some are clingers, some are burrowers.
If he is short-stripping a nymph (but not darting), he is probably
imitiating a swimmer variety. Dead-drifting works for imitating clingers,
and also burrowers that get washed up out of the dirt. All they can do

The Nor Vise has a vertical rod opposite the vise jaws w/ a button on the
side. When you hang the bobbin over the button, the thread is straight out
from the hook, leaving both hands free to manipulate material. Also makes
dubbing easy, because you spin the vise head. For your weaving process, all

I'm not sure we're talking about the same weave here anymore. I thought
'Aaaah... with a Norvise maybe' (which offers more space under the hook than
a bobbin cradle does).
So I tried simulating a Norvise setup using two vises... the second one
closer to me, just holding the thread. But it still
I do a lot of nymphing in tailwaters. I generally cast upstream work my
way down stream until I find a pattern that works, especially when the water
is high. Sometimes I swim it, sometimes I'll do a drift lift, but what
works in those waters quite often when the water is moving is casting
