Most of mine are wingless as well.

But they're not really wingless. They have hackle wings. I don't think a
no-hackle dry fly without wings would do so well.

"Wingless" in the sense of previous posts, no other wings except for hackle.
Having said that, this also applies to mayflies. For Caddis and other things
I use EXTRA wings, over and above any hackle etc.

The point being, that one can skip tying in extra wings on many flies,
without any apparent detriment to their catching ability, and indeed, to
their general robustness.
