Do two or three soft loops before you pinch and
pull, so the feathers gather, rather than spin.

Subject: [VFB] Downwing question
I have a question about downwings for
wetflies.
I've been tying some wetflies for cutthroat
trout-- but I'm having a problem getting mine to look symetrical -- I do a
soft loop -- but they still like to sit more on one side of the hook than the
other.
Any suggestions how to improve on
this.
I'm using turkey feathers to make the wings --
does anyone treat their feathers with flexament or something similar before
cutting them into wings -- would this help?
Thanks for your help.
