bighornbuster 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 Dwight D. Eisenhower's favorite fly also. I wonder if you have any trouble with the tail and wings shedding when fishing the fly. I used to have this issue( although I use calf tail instead of calf body hair) but was able to cure it with a coat of head cement applied to the tied on hair prior to adding herl and hackle. Just a thought. As usual, a great tie and a subtle demonstration of the efficacy of a rotary vise to the tying of split wing flies. Thanks!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
