On these flies I realize that neatness is not a big deal but when I wrap on a chenille body and then Palmer wind on a hen hackle they generally look lousy. The hackle sometimes lies down into the spaces between the chenille wraps but sometimes it doesen't because I might want to vary the pitch of the hackle winds. It is the chenille that gives the trouble. Palmer winding on a smooth/harder body looks good.
An suggestions ?? Thanks.
