niveker 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2020 Partridge & Orange Winged Wets, floss vs dubbed body. Ran across this pattern on a New Zealand fishing website (fishingmag.co.nz), that must be why I tied the wings on upside down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSMcDougald 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2020 @Mogup That is a sharp looking fly! @niveker Does that mean they drift in a counterclockwise direction as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL - yeah TS, and with the wings tied upside down, combined with the Earth's rotation, it won't twist my leader, as long as the stream I'm fishing flows north. It was all very carefully thought out, don'tcha know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
