Hi andrewgmurphy

Thanks for your comments. Tying fishing flies is like riding a bike, once you get the hang of it ,it just gets easier. When you get to tie off stroke the hackle fibres back and hold them down whilst you do the double half hitch. Dont forget to varnish.

Happy Fishing

Hi door2yourheart

Thanks for your comment. Yes the early patterns had waxed primrose silk to make it olive.Wilf Proud called the spider pattern,wing or no wing, 'Greenwells glory' 60 years ago and that is how it will be with me,until they pack my vice in the casket with me ( in the next 60yrs.) Spider patterns catch more fish than winged versions.

Happy Fishing

Do you have to take the feathers off one side of the feather to create a hackle.This is the only bit thta i'm realy struggleing with.I think that i may be useing the wrong kind of feathers.Do you have to use a certain kind to get the perfect hackle or can any feather be used. thank you mr m.p.ellis

I was taught to tie a greenwells glory with green silk, olive tail, yellow wire for ribs, starling feather wings and cock hackle.?

But i suppose it will work like the one you done david :) I was convinced it had wings and a tail which made it float.
