HEy guys. Can any one tell me a site that has a pretty good detailed explanation of how to do a fish. It is hard for me to learn a wrap by reading. Mabey someone can email me how to do it. Thanks you so much.
Sincerely,
Dan Colville

Complete instructions were in the Volume 5 #1 issue of RodMaker.

1. Form eye and thread with simple diamond.

2. Body is formed by adding chevron to the right of diamond. Wrap up light threads and down dark threads.

3. Begin tail by wrapping another diamond to the right of the body. Square tail wrap dark threads to left and light to right. For a forked tail wrap "plus one" to the right with your light thread.

4. Adds fins by wrapping a quick chevron next to the original diamond. Wrap up to the left, up and down with dark threads. If you want tapered fins, then wrap these at the same time the tail is wrapped. Wrap fins, tail and background "plus one."

The article had the step by step illustration to show these steps in better detail.
