If two feathers are used, then each is wrapped one at a time (so a grizzle/brown mix could be used, and with with a dark grey body and grey squirrel wing one would produce an Adam MacIntosh!). The wing is tied in long, to act like "tail support" for floatation, and the body is kept thin as the wing must lie in low - caddis style.

Cool. Look for one fly and I get a whole system! I like it.

Hey Buddy it is actually the system of a great Salmonoid lover on the St.Mary's in Stillwater Bill Carpan. He knows his stuff
