Gene L 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2017 Didn't quite work because I limited the size on the pixels. Cut off the bottom part. Plus the fly isn't hackled as much as I wanted, but hey I'm still learning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 I disagree about not enough hackle. I think you're fine. Could move the wings back a bit and get a few more good wraps in front of the wings but that's a consistent problem I have with my winged dries. Seems like things always get tight and end up with the hackle in front of the wing forced and almost disappearing. 'Course, the original Adams was tied with the wings last and no hackle in front.

phg 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Hair wings have a habit of leaning forward, after you post them. To compensate, put them a couple of turns further back. I'd say that the tail is a bit thick, but the hackle is just about right in volume, it just needs to be distributed more evenly on both sides of the wings. Overall, though, nice fly. Without all the magnification, it would be hard to find fault with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
