shows two a bit closer together.

Tied on 20's mustad 80250, the upper fly in (2) is before trimming. I
leave some like this for better visibility ... most endup like the
lower fly though.

Thanks Steve, that helps. My concern was how to avoid a fat tie-in bump
for the wing on such a small fly but if I see it right you tie in a
sparse bunch on top and then pull both ends up with some wraps around
the base to make the tuft. Trim and fish.... Looks easy and effective!

cheers
