Dean's right-on with this advise.
Coated/cemented wings tend to spin a fly and twist the
leader. This was a main reason for going to the hair wings. But
I also haven't noticed leader twisting with Wingers unless I coat them or have
them poorly tied. Tying them in back-to-back so they curve out
seems to work best. Watershed does the best job of floating them
without making 'blades' out of the wings.

Materials
STEVE,
I don't know about this wing idea of Fishys.... Glue the Material
before cutting it to shape, so you will have a stiffer wing.. Hmmmmmmm??? Did
Fishy also mention that the "Propeller" you just tyed onto your Dryfly is
going twist up your fine tippets & Leaders a great deal????
No Ill will towards you Steve, I just see this Wing idea causing my
fly to spin & tiwts in the Casts and twisting up my Leaders/Tippets..
Advice from Terry Helleckson keeps coming to mind..."use Materials for Dryfly
Wings that allow air to pass thru the material...or you'll end up with an
Airplane that is out of control on your Leader...." Something to think
about...
DEAN...

I
haven't tried this yet, but it sounds good: Fishy Fullam suggests that you
use interface, which can be bought at sewing stores. If you want stiff
wings, coat one side with head cement or other thin glue before cutting
it.
