St. Paul, MN Posts: 376	Like Spence, I like Matthews' technique. It really stands the wing up and keeps it there. I typically only throw one wrap in between each bunch for most flies, and that seems enough. Al Caucci has always been a fan of very thin bodies, as the real bugs aren't typically as fat as some comparaduns are tied. I'll check out Matthews' video. Sounds like a good one. I'll also try to keep the bodies thinner. I continue to work on building a nice taper, but I think I should concentrate on keeping the body "level" and only taper once I get to the thorax. So much to learn!
