Good Day,

Made by hand. Thin mylar sheet. Etched veins with a bodkin (needle). Coloered with black marker. Wiped off excess marker with Q-tip dipped in rubbing alchohol leaving marker in etched veins. (Takes practice. Not too much alchohol.)

There are two internet sites that come to mind who offer pre made wings:

Good Day,

First of all - thank you all for your kind comments!

Pellet fly - The competition is being judged this weekend (September 19-23) in Tuscany, Italy. So I hope to know something in a few days or a week.

FisheR - indeed a nice mayfly. Have you tied any up to represent it when you next go to Kenyir?

I remember when I lived In Singapore that I saw a few mayflies when I lived near MacRitchie resevior. The ones I saw the most were small (size 18 ) and green like a bright jade jewel. Lovely!

And this Muddler Minnow landed a toman ..
