Hi everyone , I've had this on my list for a while , been looking round for correct materials list to tie this , there are so many variations of this fly , floss body , gold tinsel ,to put a tag on or not, settled for this one . wasn't sure if wings should be splayed or together , opted for this but if I was tying one for fishing I would tie them together. Thanks for looking, Terry.
Nice looking belle Terry. I prefer wings and tails tied together but can understand why they are tied this way as well. My personal favorite wet is the Fontinalis Fin.
You did a great job with this fly, Terry. It's got pleasing proportions and your skills are evident. To splay or not to splay is a good question. I think it depends on the type of waters and your style of fishing. I have memories of this pattern that go way back. Thanks for participating.
Thanks guys , I saw a fontinalis fin while I was looking this one up but decided to stick with this but while I was tying it I was thinking what it was supposed to imitate and come to the conclusion absolutely nothing, Terry
