chugbug27 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2020 Another Royal Wulff #12... better proportions on this one... Thank you, Flytire, for donating the peacock! (I've recently bleached and dyed some, too, but haven't tied with those yet...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have trouble with getting the wings in the right spot and angle and then wrapping the hackle the proper way. Also I had some trouble on the body. Then again i havent tried tying on recently so maybe i should! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Landon P said: wings in the right spot Tie in @ about 1/3 back from where the head starts. (The fly has six roughly equal parts between head and tail -- hackle, wing, hackle, herl, floss, herl.) 2 hours ago, Landon P said: angle Straight up. (Mine bent a little forward). Then 45° out each side (mine are more like 20°) 2 hours ago, Landon P said: wrapping the hackle the proper way. Complicated.... A smooth thread base is mandatory. Hate to say it but good hackle helps. (Helps me anyways). Barry Ord Clarke has a good video... I think maybe Flytire posted it somewhere recently (hats off...) Many say and I agree, though, the best resource is Leeson & Schollmeyer's Benchside Reference. They come up on eBay here & there. Retail is steep. In Feb someone paid $55 used (see link below), which is a decent price, but you might get it for less if you hunt & wait. Whenever I get stuck the answer's always there. (Or here on this forum) https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Fly-Tiers-Benchside-Reference-Jim-Schollmeyer-Ted-Leeson-VERY-GOOD/184172549125?epid=689800&hash=item2ae18a1405:g:ZPYAAOSwzsleSJtf#vi__app-cvip-panel Your tying is great, so I'm sure you can get it in no time (The proportions are just my opinion from what I like to see. I'm sure there are others who tie it differently, and I don't have any originals or any books or videos by Wulff himself.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fisherboy0301 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2020 SBPatt, I love that splitsville caddis! Kimo, those little feather game changers look deadly. Pete, I like that little shiner pattern too. Simple but deadly I’m sure. I do similar things with pearl mylar tubing to imitate mosquitofish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
