I also played around using Parapost (tm) for the wings, as it

always been that it looks "frazzled" and tends to wind up all over
the
place, tangling in everything it comes in contact with. What I did
to
helpd deal with that was start with an overlong wing, put a drop of
head
cement a little way up the wing (leaving the area which will be the
tip
free from cement), and another drop at the very end of the oversized
wing (this kept stray fibers from going all over the place while
tying,
but will be clipped off when the fly is finished).

I sometimes use just a few strands of krystal flash in a pearl color
with the Parapost. The sun highlights the wing so that it is much more
visable. You might want to try a few that way just for ****s and grins.
