PW fly

[WylieSchroederHaggerty]

I have dubbed this the PW fly initially because it is a purple waddigton or for the routier crowd PW for those who dont get to fish becaue they are trying to maintain an active heterosexual sex life.

It is hanging from my self dubbed "serenity NOW pin" on my work PC monitor. The fly has yet to be finished but I will be interested to hear other members critiques of the fly.

Thanks for the compliment Charlie!

I have had a lot of issues tying necks or throats on hair wing flys. I have been fortunate enough to get some great tips from knowledgeable tyers and am very thankful for theml yet I still struggle.

In yours or others opinon how many turns for the neck or collar do you generally use on steelhead flies?

Thanks
