Hi Myron!

The experts will give you the correct answer soon, but I've always
solved this problem by using reverse palmering:

That is indeed the best way to do it. Easier application, better appearance,

although traditionally salmon flies are palmered somewhat differently, in
order to obtain a special appearance.
