Flatwings
Quick questions about Flatwing flies.
- What type of feathers are you using for the actual flatwing?
- Are you using two feathers or just one?
- Any particular thoughts on hook size to feather ratio?
- 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.
Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.
