When you are finishing up tying a trout fly (I'm not talking about fancy salmon flies), is your main concern having the perfect looking head or just getting a good whip finish and not covering up the eyelet?

Joe;
I'd have to say the latter! I did learn a method from WarrenP that does both, just haven't mastered it yet!!
Joe a small head,good whip finish and yes, not covering the eyeletBILL
It is easy to do both. So why not do so. And keep the heads small at the same time.
a properly applied whip finish should result in a nice tidy little head.
The head with whip finish should be no more then 7 wraps.
