[@thedalesangler]

Thank you.

[@RVRRUN00]

Thanks!

[@anthonyurbano8605]

Really like this! I tied one last night. In the link you have below for the flies, the recipe listed red wire. I used copper as you did here. My question is, what size wire? I used a small wire but it seemed very bulky. Thanks, Anthony

[@richludt2962]

NICE! Do you suppose he added the copper wire to also add weight to the fly?

[@thedalesangler]

In his book he staded that the wire was added to make the fly sit depper in the surface film.

[@TheKlickitat]

Beautiful fly. Question for understanding.... Is the copper wire for weight or does it show?

[@thedalesangler]

The wire is added tp provide a little extra weight to the fly so it sits just under the surface film.

[@TheKlickitat]

@@thedalesangler Thank you. That helps with my understanding.
