Spider is on a distinguished road
Default Hemingways Wings

Although I'm finding that trout take suspended caddis emergers more than adults ( or so it seems to me ) I'd like to try to tie a few more adult patterns, on a heavyish dry fly hook.

Has anyone used the above wings, and who sells them?

Tks

I wouldnt bother man I got them and although they look good a better investment would be some wing burners. They wont run out and you can make some beautiful patterns with hen/game feathes as show in a recent post "Tyhpoo fly" in the step by step section. I also found that the Hemingways spun the leader alot.

Hope this helps.

These are not Hemmingways.
They look good, are a good idea but I cannot get the wings to sit in the classic sedge roof shape. They tend to lie flat along the hook (delta wing) and look more like moths. Never caught anything on them yet.
Stick to elk hair of G&H sedge types.

-It is a company from Serbia and the right wing for the May flies and sage, and all types of the leader.
