What fly do you intend to tie ?
Herl bodies often start at the barb and silk/quill bodies ofton start at the
point.
Roger Fogg - "A Handbook of North Country Trout Flies" shows a general starting
point between point and barb.
Roger Wooleys flies from the 1930's are started past the barb
Sylvester Nemes -"Two centuries of soft hackle flies" generally start between
point and barb.
Let me know the patterns you after after i will see if i can supply photos
iain
I've been requested to tie some Spider flies..I need to know where the body
starts..should it be over the barb or the point. If you tie these flies, or
know how it should be done, kindly inform. Inquiring minds want to know and tie
them correctly. Any tying hints are also welcome. Joyce
