Dealing with dry flies...say size 16-20.
If Im typing what would normally thought to be an Adams...and I tie the fly according to "instructions" BUT...I dont install the WINGS.. Do I have a useless fly...OR..can trout even SEE those tiny little wings on the Adams ( as an example)

The fish is looking at the fly from the bottom UP...and with the profuse hanckle..."I" can barely see them looking from the top DOWN.??

So do I end up with a usable fly, or a piece of trash?
