Another beautiful tie Scott.You are tying more wets lately. Are you fishing more wets as well?

Scott, did you use two wing slips for each wing? If so, is that the standard way Sawada tied his flies?

Thanks. Not yet; it’s more a matter of finding a lot of neat patterns to try. I’m sure I’ll put some to the test, at least until dry fly season hits.

Dennis,

The wing is just 2 matching quill segments; when compressed by the thread, they rippled a bit, making it look like doubled wings.

Regards,
Scott
