I tied about 40 SHWAPF's and some were very fat, some to little hackle. I just keep tying them until I was happy at how they looked. Then I did the ultimate test..I took them fishing. I caught plenty of fish the day I went. So now I am sending some to a friend in Canada for him to try when the lakes thaw. Maybe Canadian fish are as blind as Arkansas fish, who knows. LOL I did start with larger hooks and worked my way down. Whenever you are happy then they are perfect. Good luck.

I am tying more too, because I am going to Tennessee in June and I want to see if they work there.
