To get the effect you're looking for, just rotate the hook 45 degrees
(assuming you have a rotary vise) and simply tie the wing (material of your
choice) upright and divided. They will sit on the water with one wing in
the film, and one up. Frank's suggestion to wrap a parachute hackle on the
'up' wing sounds like a good idea which I will have to try.

Hope you guys are mending well ... my own repairs are going along fairly
well ... can't complain too much, anyway

Put a book under the back of the stand? And then you'll say you have the
clamp model, so, put several books under the far side table legsg. What
do you do when the fish only want a fly with the left wing uprightg.

How's the health doing, Stan?

I feel pretty good. Went canoe fishing last week and was able to carry my
canoe without problems. I see the cardiologist next week and then I'll
find out how healthy I *really* am crossing my fingers.

Pottapaug should be ready for us by then, and I'm ready for a getaway
day.

The key with that is to use the wing burner. I've found that if you don't
stabilize the edges, the cross threads (warp or weft, one of the two) come
out and the wing fibers flop over.
