All it takes is practice, if the fly does not look good when finished to you, cut off the materials, and try again. Some hands-on lessons are always a good expenditure of money. This one is not a beginner's fly.
Just the other day I bought materials to tie the Grey Wulf, the pattern calls for bucktail for wing and tail, Well the local fly shop had only poor ones, doe tail that was shot locally. No matter Compara dun deer hair or elk will do. I like moose body for tails it's a lot more durable. I tail all my # 14 thru 18 Adams with it and been doing so for decades now. You can even do the wings with poly the same stuff you tie spinner wings with, It's easier for new fly tiers, and guess what the fish don't care. Looking for my box to show up on Monday or Tuesday.
Good looking Wolff. Clean and crisp.
Thanks Lee.
Well done, my favorite night fly
Thanks for watching!
Steve I could only wish to get to be that good on tying flies.
Thank you Chris! Hope you are well.
