Default Olive dry

Been messing on tying a few of these this morning, it's a bit bright outside and I cant get a decent pic yet so here goes. I'll try and get some better flicks later.

nice tye mate.. try a small spread of floo gloo on the inside of the wing to help keep the wing binded.. only the smallest touch mind or it will topple

Cheers lads.

To be honest I could do with the practice tying the wings, for some reason I allways crease the far side wing. Not sure why it's happening but need to sort it

I get this problem quite often myself and imagine it is just down to my technique, I did find that it didn't happen as often when I pinch and loop upwards but couldn't tell you why.
