Default 4 more winged wets...cos its wet

Just experimenting with different winging materials, mallard seems the easiest to use, waterhen can be kind of slippy as its very smooth, jay's not bad better for smaller hooks I'd say and woodcock's fairly easy to handle. The waterhen and mallard wings are maybe a little on the large side but I guess the fish won't miss em. All tied on kamasan B175's size 12.

Great flies, I wish my wings would come out half as good.

I love the delicacy of the hackle. Your flies are all about proportion. Lovely.

Thanks alot everyone, all comments much appreciated, yes must admit the last one is rather bright and bold I very nearly used a Jay hackle for the throat but went with the hot orange instead.

Yes I'm fairly happy with how I'm getting them darwin, but the results are probably something to do with sitting at the vice hour after hour after hour after hour of fiddling and swearing and gouging chunks out the top of my desk and stabbing the back of my hand with numerous different types of hooks (barbless preferred) but eventually the swearing gets less the mistakes start to disappear and all of a sudden your'e on automatic pilot
