Comments and Tips:
The wings take a bit of practice but the fly floats all day and fish seem
like it. The body is comprised of a loop formed with deer hair and a touch
of fine dubbing. Trim the hair at the leading top shoulder once you have
wrapped the body. This allows the wings to lay flat over the body. |
