Default Dry Fly Wings

Vince Marinaro was a wing man, the first to insist they were a 'key"


As I recall, he said wings were the *most* important part of the dry
fly.

But George Harvey, like most of you, says they make no difference.


Since you mentioned Harvey, it reminded me of Joe Humphreys, who once said
that he didn't bother with wings on his Humpie, "because beetles don't have
wings [at rest]." Well they don't have tails either, but his Humpies had
tails.
