Not a wingless wet
Not a wingless wet, a Glanrhos wet.
A smaller wing than the previous dressings,
but the rib could have been better.

Re: Not a wingless wet
I have dressed another which I have done a better job.
I shall show it later, I am dressing some of the Overfield flies as well.

I imagine on the wee streams this would be a heck of a fly the trout's would find hard to pass over. Nice light delicate fly for nice wee delicate waters.

Re: Not a wingless wet

This is another version,
Hook: #12
Rib: Yellow Buttonhole Twist.
No Tail.
These were not fished on a small stream but on the river Wye in Wales.
Here is more info.

Re: Not a wingless wet
Donald - I am a fan of the Glanrhos style dressings. I love your dressing. When I clicked on your link, and saw the painting of the River Wye, I sat here imaging the fly drifting thru the pool. Sigh...It is so nice to get lost in a moment like that...Thank you.

Donald, Howdy;
Beautiful flys. Like the way you used the Buttonhole twist
as the abdomen and achieve the segmented effect. Very
nice touch
Liked the painting in the link as well.
