Might I suggest, The only way I know to explain this "prob of traditional Dry Flies".
Obtain the "Dry Flies" Video By A.K.Best,Took care of this prob for me....and my flies just look better.....as well as more like the natural insects.

"I've often wondered why it is that so many anglers spend so much money on,and pay so much attention to.the details on the wrong end of the fly line.If they took as much care in selecting or tying their flies as they did in the selection of the reel and rod,They might be able to gain the real extra edge that makes it possible to fool a fish that has,in fact,seen it all before" A.K.Best
