Tied this tonight, thought it may be of interest

I was missing some yellow hackle so subbed with the orange.

You might also see that I tied the wing in the Spey and not Dee style

Comments and critique are always welcome

Cheers

Nice tie speyman.

I have been reading about spey and dee wings recently, although I'm still a bit confused as to what really sets them apart. They look pretty much the same to me other then the fact that they are tied in separately with a dee fly.

Thanks everyone,

shezli, the Spey/Dee wing difference is on a Spey the section

clipped from the left hand quill is mounted on the right side and right side quill

on the left. On the Dees left quill/ left side, right quill/ right side.

On Mike Boyers recent posts of his wonderful Herons you

might notice how the wings are tenting the fly creating a keel of a boat

look when viewed from above. The Dees wings when viewed from above

are splayed away from each other creating a distinct vee shape.

BTW hows the fishing? Rivers are way out of shape here, oh well, more time

to tye, Thanks again everyone, I appreciate all your critiques and comments.

Cheers,

Speyman

Thanks for the explanation, it really helps. I feel kind of silly, I tied a "dee" style wing posting it (my first time tying a wing like that) as a spey wing. :S

I don't really get a lot of time to fish, but the sea trout and the salmon are starting up. I'm hoping to go out to a place next weekend where we can get some trout 3-4 lbs. In a few weeks we will be headed into camp and we'll be into the big guys.

Thanks again!
