Dry Fly

Tied By Christian Andrews

Hook: #8 fine wire

Thread: gray or black

Materials-

tail: deer hair

body hackle: ginger cock, wrapped aft at tail

body: yellow floss

front hackle: ginger cock

wings: mallard quill slips (or sub died dun turkey)

Notes:

An Art Winnie fly from the recipe and photo in The Founding Flies by Mike Valla

Also called the Fore & Aft since it has dry fly hackle wrapped both at the back and front of the fly

In the example fly, duck quill slips are subbed out with died dun turkey quill slips

It appears from the photo that the wings are tied in after and on top of the front hackle.
