Quick questions about Flatwing flies.
  1. What type of feathers are you using for the actual flatwing?
  2. Are you using two feathers or just one?
  3. Any particular thoughts on hook size to feather ratio?
  4. and one final question, how are you coping with the feather wrapping around the hook bend? Mono loop? Mono guard? Natural bend of feather?

Thanks! I just finished making my first ever Winter list of flies to tie. It's a long extensive list, and I realized I have yet to tie one of these guys.
