I do like those ones down below RR. Is the back on the middle set with pink undersides made with a strip off rubber bands or is it a proper fly tying material?

[rannoch raider]

Thanks, The material on the backs of the Czech style bugs is a shop bought fly tying product called Nymph Skin. It's just latex strips that come in a variety of colours. Those in the photo are described as 'natural' . The material can also be coloured with a sharpie. I have actually tried to use elastic bands for segmented bodies and backs in the past but it's very difficult to find suitably thin ones for smaller patterns

Cheers. I had something sort of similar a while back but it had a bit of a sheen to it and I went off it. What you have there looks far more natural. I actually got given some thick natural gut violin string of whatever is the thickest on a violin and that looks good too. Have to soak it to make it soft and it goes a bit translucent when it gets wet again in the water.

cracking bugs haven't played with the nymph skin for ages, great effect though!!
