I prefer the wing to flare through about 180 degrees on my paraduns. I think it helps them float stably.

Hey Cromie,

Get a glass of water and gink up that wing - stick the fly in the water and take a picture and post it here out of interest.
I have a lot of problems with deer hair wings- mine are iether too much or too little/too long or too short - too me yours looks like too little and a little too long for it to float "proper"
