Hi all,
As we work our way in fly tying class, the coming week is Matukas. As I do the demoing, trying not to elicit too many laughs, I have been turning out some Matukas. I think I'm getting it, but any tips on getting the wire/ribbing on through the wing better? I have moistened the hackle and stroked it to the front, but the ribbing still seems to not want to go on evenly. I have found that waiting until the fly dries does improve its' looks, of course it will be wet when I fish them!
Thanks,
Mike
