Materials: deer hair, ginger cock, wrapped aft at tail, yellow floss, ginger cock, 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.
