About this fly

using the recipes in The Founding Flies by Mike Valla and The Book of Fly Patterns by Eric Leise Leiser says the size of the fly is determined by the length of available woodchuck guard hairs so that all four color sections are showing. Also he suggests it’s good to leave some underfur in the wing as it will help with movement.
