Floating Nymph Fly Tying Instructions by Charlie Craven 

That's a great trick for the thorax

What a cool pattern! The wing clump technique took some practice, challenging but in a good way. It took me 6 flies before the it looked right. Great instruction! Can't wait to try these out.

I’ve recently pulled out all my “back in the day…” books, one of which is the original S&R tying guide. Thanks for sharing your take on this classic! 🎣

Another great fly, with a new trick to master. Thanks!

Old school = New school Great pattern and instructions. Thanks

Nice tying with that dubben Ball, thanks 😊

Did this 40 years ago! Dam don’t tell everyone about it, cause it just works!

Very cool fly.

You are such a master, thanks for sharing!

That nymph looks like grandma's fancy blue hair after a day at the beauty parlor. Cool bug Charlie.

Would Kapok dubbing have any advantages or disadvantages to the Superfine?

If Don King was a fly pattern 😂

Very cool

great tie- hey what is that body dubbing blend? I didn't see it in your shop. Seems like the perfect baetis nymph mix of olive/brown

Super cool technique! Curious, how well does the dubbing ball hold up to fish?

💪💪

Really like this one. Not exactly elegant. Kinda like me. When you clipped the butt ends off the legs I thought, wait a second. That looks like a bug climbing out of the shuck. I’m gonna try leaving those intact.

OK, I won’t tell anyone, Charlie. 😉

👏👏👏👏👏👍
