Note: The Mayfly Wings are part of a small, specialist set of wings. Each set consists of 10 pairs of wings in either; Mayfly, Dragonfly, Stonefly or Hopper. The original for each wing is hand drawn, and then reduced in 'Adobe' before being etched? Direct onto acetate. They cannot be used in fishing flies as they are too rigid and would cause the fly to helicopter during an attempted cast. Japanese Nymph Legs are a fairly new material, as expected; it is supplied directly from a model making company in Japan. The legs shafts have a low silicone composition which allows them to be flexible, bent to shape and manipulated quite easily without fear of the shaft breaking. They can be used in realistic fishing flies as well as more detailed flies.The legs come in Black, Yellow Sally, Tan and Green |
