Iain, Deb, Bill, Anyone who ties these things, So - I'm looking through a book of wet fly patterns trying to find something to tie and my eye falls on the Bloody Butcher. Cool fly. I own a couple (great gifts from a friend...they supposedly work in England...they definitely work on the Lower Owens in Cali).
The question is: Does anyone have any tips for tying in the teal flank wing? I am not getting it to look quite right - I don't know if it's a bulk issue or a tension issue or what - but the wing looks like a hungover grasshopper hanging onto the grill of a Dodge Charger. And that's not good. Tips? Chris
