"What size you doing these?" #8 light wire up eye salmon hooks - our guttalata is huge! I have a pic of a 23" brown that ate one but am afraid to post it as it was snapped, quickly, on stream side mud.
Yes, the wing is Compara-dun style (Caucci had his Delaware River Club about 3/4 of a mile upstream from my cabin on the WB of the Delaware) On hooks this large though I normally palmer one grizzly and one barred ginger and then clip off the hackle on the bottom.
Including a picture of one of the greats of fly fishing. I tied some flies for him when I was in MT back in the day when Armstrong SC was free, yes free! and Nelson's had a morning and an afternoon session for $10.00 per session. I'm the youngster in the middle holding the post fire Leonard 38H..
