If the tyer himself is happy with the finished article,then that is all that matters.Only he alone, has in mind the situation where he will use the particular fly he is tying.

For example,I like to have quite a few versions of each pattern from sparse to bulky,to suit differing conditions.

Good point.

How long should the wing be on an Elk Hair Caddis ( or similar)?

How heavy should it be?

No definitive answer


Harrumph............... I rest my case, blah blah, blah........

Think it is time I took a sabatical from these forums & get out more.
Gryffe, Sunday for early morning rise if levels are down...yes that will be a good idea. Get some air, catch a few Broonies.
