flyline64 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Nice fly. The only slight quibble I have is that the hackle may be a wee bit long for that size fly. Just my opinion--I doubt it would make it less effective (and it will make it more stable). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Yes, it´s possible to tie legs longer, but I don´t prefere it. When the fly absorbs water then becomes heavier. I have found my compromise between legs length and ability easy to dry the fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
