Thread: the "emerging nymph" cut

i have been asked a few times to try to make a 2 color stonefly, and the first 2 million times i tried went pretty poorly. i seem to have jumped a hurdle and have found a simple cut that makes the second color look like it is "emerging" from the husk of the first. this cut removes one set of legs so i have less monkeyin around to do , and the second color forces the leg sections to the outside, instead of just willy-nilly. went from about a 50% success rate for an hours work, to 100% success rate in about a half hours work. i made up 5 packs of each kind that i did today, and will put em on my site soon.
