    Default Upright single-winged wet flies.

    I have put some Upright single-winged wet-flies on my site.

    Donald,

    Very nicely done. I definately appreciate the sparseness of those flies. I noticed that the Blae Dun was tied on a different hook that the others. What is the shorter shank S/E hook?

    Hi Donald,

    A nice addition. I'm hoping to get out this weekend and if so, will give a few Tummel-style flies a try. Fingers crossed.

    Ron, it is a Daiichi 1640, I have been using them for my spiders mainly, but I rather like them for all wet flies.

    Cholcomb, it is a rather home designed version, I did not have any suitable hen hackle for the version on the site, so I rather made do with what I had.
    The wing is starling, or any other suitable feather, the body is yellow rabbit lightly dubbed on primrose silk, the tail is dun hen fibres.
