Wow, I like the bent fly. I tie my spinners with antron.
The link should bring you to a photo with two flies on the left. If it brings you to a photo of the cylinder heads on my scooter, oops.
They are tied with biot body/tail using a light wire scud hook. The two on the right are on a normal dry fly hook with microfibbet tails.
The center fly is one that has caught 10-15 large trout, all over 15". The wings are a mess, but the scud hook is strong and the biot tail is very durable.
The bent fly is attractive because we have all probably made a similar observation. Spinners are laying on the surface in a myriad of positions, not normally in the splayed wing, splayed tail position that looks so beautiful when they are hovering above us.
Think it is ok to just "bend the hook"?
At any rate, I like the antron wings. They get beat up, out of position, but the fly still fishes really well.
