My name is Jeff Welker and I live in Me...Dear Sir:<br /><br />My name is Jeff Welker and I live in Mesa, Arizona, USA.<br /><br />I’m very interested in your Cicada X pattern that is on you “Fly Tying Nation” blog. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions regarding the body foam.<br /><br />1. How do you determine the dimensions of the “hour glass” shape you cut into the 2mm closed cell foam that is used for the body? The length of the shorter “hour glass” section seems to match the length of the hook shank, while the longer “hour glass” section appears to be two to three times the hook shank length. <br /><br />2. What is the dimension (length) of the longer “hour glass” section?<br /><br />Your help in answering this question is sincerely appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you;<br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060591392211396933.post-40647177947691083162013-08-08T02:32:50.915-07:002013-08-08T02:32:50.915-07:00Hi Ben,

I just tied a bunch of these in orange/brown with red eyes for the (hopefully soon) upcoming invasion here in Ohio, and I think they're gonna kill. Really enjoying digging thru your patterns and techniques here, and I'm suddenly very excited about foam and latex. Keep up the great work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518968241548076232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060591392211396933.post-6331927788331068292013-01-06T07:59:19.363-08:002013-01-06T07:59:19.363-08:00This is perfect for me!!!!This is perfect for me!!!!ClogFlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054228802413493349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060591392211396933.post-91706445962868240322011-08-14T22:35:43.461-07:002011-08-14T22:35:43.461-07:00beautybeautyNaveen Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11286448947722483665noreply@blogger.com
