i stand by what i tied and by what don bastian tied
Don Bastian Wet Flies (rssing.com)
red, white, red, white, married
i dont follow the classic salmon fly world like you do and i dont see myself joining any time soon. so i dont really care if the sequence is bottom to top or top to bottom
close enough to the painting. if i fished the fly the fish wouldnt even care 😄

19 minutes ago, mvendon said:It's the Split Ibis. Check what Don Bastian did in the Forgotten Flies book, It's not even close, but is the only way to tie it in reality.

i tried to do a quote and hit the edit by mistake.
nothing intentional
but if you dont want to lets us know which one so be it

two hand wrap
i have no idea what that is
might be this way of wrapping
-
the recipe in trout by ray bergman states
"alternate black and white floss ribbing"
i would tie a white floss body and rib with black floss
you could ask fred kline how he tied it
white thread tapered under body, white uni stretch body, black uni stretch rib. more like the pattern in the book
white thread tapered under body, white uni stretch body, black thread rib. nothing like the book or the photo on instagram
white thread tapered under body, 1 strand of white and black floss wrapped side by side. nothing like the book but more like the photo above but not 13 wraps of ribbing
if you look at the photo below (from the dvd cover in the link above) it shows the ribbing per the book
