avelino,

 

you are providing some excellent examples of spanish wet flies.

 

my question is: can you explain the "comparadun" style of hackling vs the traditional style of "all around" wet fly hackling?

Thanks flytire!!

Here there are tyers who made hackles "all around" for wet but using a "comparadun" style.

What happens with it? We enter in purists topic :wallbash: (flies, tying method....bla bla bla)

 

What about "all around" with Coq de Leon plume??? <_<

The essence of the matter is the plume itself, we use plume from the kidney zone of the cock and there, the plume has (more or less) 1-1,5 inch. long fibers and the are too long for a wet hackle, I can also tell that the fibers are wery slim and hard (compare with hen or starlight) and the kidney plume has very low density of fibers (as opposed to genetic) and distributed in a pyramid form.

These type of fiber are used to create a wings feeling without movement and i don´t know a lot about English wets too.

You could use breast feathers but this kind of rooster do not have.

 

 

Excuse me for my english but sometimes i can´t explain as i want!!

 

Bye
