Default Tying wings

I was just reading an article that was saying about different styles
of wings providing better profiles, that would make the fly appear
more realistic. I was just wondering if there was really a difference
to anything but us. The best fly fisher I personally know never ties
wings at all, he just uses hackle and catches a ton fish. I was just
curious if anyone had ever used a different wing style on the same
pattern and noticed different (i.e. better) results with a particular
style.




I'm a big believer in the idea that if something is easier to omit, yet the
practice persists for decades anyway, that there's a reason to include it.
