Only dry I go to is a Humpy other than a hopper or foam stone in my travels which are mostly Ozarks. Have used Griffith Gnats though. Tied some for Grayling on our AK trip but didn’t get to use that I made the hackles outa deer hair and wings outa Kids hair fibers. Can’t find pic except this box. Wings are kinda secondary... my dry flying is very limited just gave the WWs a try. 👎 There’s an old fart on this board that ties some mean mayflys with great wings! I think I know who you are talking about. Who you calling an old fart?😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2022 I got to three. I can’t do another. I don’t know how anybody can sit down and tie more then one or two at a sitting. I got a little aggressive with the marker on this one and hit the Wally wings a couple times by accident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
