Sparkle Wing RS2 01/05/2025 Photo Album
Should you like to trace my reports on the sparkle wing RS2 back in time, utilize the link in my 12/13/2023 post. I use the classic RS2 and sparkle wing versions fairly interchangeably; however, I feel the my preference has actually tilted back in favor of the classic. Nevertheless, I deploy the sparkle wing quite a bit, especially when I sense that the fish require a bit more flash to attract their attention. How do I sense this? I cannot explain it.
Sparkle Wing RS2As stated in my 12/13/2023 post, I have settled on white fluoro fiber as my wing stub material. I already use it for the split tail, and I believe it offers a slim profile, and it does not generate much bulk in attempting to maintain a narrow body profile. Working with the tiny fluoro fiber material makes this fly slightly more challenging to tie, but it remains quite simple compared to other patterns.
Batch of EightApparently I lost more of the sparkle wings than I realized, as my count suggested that I needed to tie eight to return to my targeted inventory levels. I completed this task, and I am armed for spring blue wing olive activity.
