Default Hair Wings

Willi, permit me to suggest a sacriligious solution., Go to Walmart,
and buy some "Needloft Plastic Canvas Yarn." White or cream or yellow,
or any other color you like.

Separate the two strands. Use one strand (for about a size 14), less
for smaller flies. Comb it out,and place it crosswise under the hook
shank, and pull both ends straight up--forming a letter U around the
hook shank. .

Tie it in place with thread. Do the figure-eight if you wish.

Easy wings. No bulk, will never come loose.



This could also be done with the poly yarn sold in fly shops. For a much
higher price of course.
