It’s been a few months since I tied a fly, it’s been a while since I tied a hackle stacker and it’s been a while since I tied Wally wings. So I practiced all three today. This was the best of three. Will have to knock off a little more rust.

Thread - UTC 70, burnt orange
Tail - Tan micro fibets
Body - Pink organza ribbon
Wing 1?- Brown hackle on a dark olive spanflex post
