Henk, i bought a bunch of those flies (sort of a Cahill/Sulpher type a fly, wing was white) from Orvis at one time. They did work, and they did not twist my tippet. mark

You're right, Nick. It looks like a single Wonder Wing.

Not a Wallywing at all. Not a (true) wonderwing either. I can't remember the name of this technique but I know Orvis used to carry patterns like this. Main difference with the mentioned techniques is that here the wing is created in two separate steps, first tie in the stalk, make thorax, then bend the fibers back, and tie in in front of thorax.


In a hurry so my description is somewhat terse...
