Then you can run the wing between your fingers and get the fibers to "mix" together. So, the mixing isn't really happening until it's on the hook and the slips are tied in independently rather than at once like you would for a winged wet. Happy to help clarify! That put the icing on the cake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had him at one of our shows and I was his escort all weekend so I took advantage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poul always combed out his wings b4 mounting, whether it was Schlappen, goose shoulder, or died turkey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandan 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2020 I checked out Ronn Lucas' site and for my first foray into Classic salmon patterns took his advice and started out easy. From tutorial #1 a couple of RAT style flies. Substitutions made for some materials. I'm liking the beginning of this journey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
