The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

....tails are a bit long and the abdomen a bit too skinny. But it's not a bad baetis nymph as it is.

… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.

Sure, it's just another way to tie a nymph. That ones a good generic baetis color. If it's small enough it will work. Mounting the leg fuzz underneath the thorax with two criss-cross wraps from the eye to underneath and then up and over right behind the thorax and then back again is quick and easy.
More important it's versatile. You can use almost anything from fuzz to fibers to midge flash or what ever. The criss cross (it's invisible with 14/0 thread of the right color) only loosely bastes the fuzz legs in place.
Add a micro dab of glue underneath the thorax to fix it permanently.
