That one has the advantage of not building any bulk into the body. Which one I use depends on how slender I want the body to be.DUBBN wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 3:27 pm This is the method I prefer for over sized feathers.

I have not noticed a difference . I am sure under certain circumstances there are minir differences.Fishnkilts wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 1:58 pm Those are beautiful flies Dubbin.
Do you find a difference in the number of hook ups with the flies with the red next to the eye? I have found with some of my flies if I tie a red hot spot around the collar, it seems I get more takes than I do with the flies that don't have a red collar.
