I'm curious as to your experience with these never landing "wrong."
I don't see, as a broad statement and without taking the
proportions/"float line" into account, how the wing position/style could
make this true, but ???

TC,

Never is a chancy word, but the weight of the relatively heavy hair wing
lying horizontally prevents the fly from "standing on its nose" while a
heavy upwing hair wing tends to cause it.


Agreed, and the truth is, I really, really like the trudes, coachman
dries, stimulators and the other downwing ilk. I just want to learn to
tie a mean wulff. I think I'm on my way!

Thanks man.

Your pal,
