This is pattern number 12. Red cow, Light blue hackle, Woodcock Wing
Thread: primrose silk
Body: Red cow hair - dyed for me
Hackle: light blue
Wing: Woodcock
I did this in the video with a folded wing that I divided with and X wrap. One side blew up and would not remarry. I tried it a few times different ways off camera and a wing always broke up. When fishing this fly the wings would of course end up that way anyhow. So I think if you fish this pattern that is the way to tie it.
I am doing this videos as I tie a complete collection of Cutcliffe's patterns for a display that will not be fished, so in the end for the collection I tied in matching slips.
We do not know how Cutcliffe did it and so many methods are possible.
Enjoy!
