Tip
Tip: Form legs in a V shape with a single dark strand on each side
How to do it: Add one dark strand per side in a V, dub around and between the legs, pull them back, wrap in front, and fill the gap behind the bead
Mistake it fixes: Adding legs as an afterthought or in bulk
Why it works: V-shaped legs give a natural, sparse leg profile that suggests movement without bulk, and dubbing around them locks them in place.
When it matters most: Fly tying
