Traditional Wet Flies

[Normand]

Hi,
After reading Andy B's post above, I think I know why people were confused about how I got extra wings. I'm using goose shoulder feathers, not goose quill feathers, for my wings. These have very long fibers, and since I'm tying size 12 and 14s, I can get two or three flies tied after marrying one set of slips.

I'm confused as to why you do what you do for winging wets. i would think if you are tying classic winged wet flies you would use the natural tips of the feather for all of your flies. maybe its being economical.
