Note: I
used the same wings on an Adams pattern and it caught 4 nice browns from a
heavily fished stream on its "maiden voyage."   The wings
glisten, catching every ray of sunlight, making it very easy to track on the
water.  I'm quite pleased with it, and will incorporate this type wing into
many more of my patterns in the future.

Note:
  Bob sent me this fly last year (2000) and asked my opinion
about the wings.  He said the recipe for this Cahill was a
conglomeration of stuff he had laying on his bench at the time.  It's
amazing what fine looking creations come from a rat's nest like that [smile]. 
It's a good example of the exceptional talent he possesses.  



 



These
wings were cut from clear plastic gift wrapping and is stiffer than
baggies.
