First time I’ve seen wings done this way!!! Another tool for the bench! Gotta tie a couple right now

I love this bug, amazing feather work. And I remember that quote so well, well maybe I remember lol!
Have an amazing day and hope to see y’all in Atlanta 👍

That is the best way to make wings!(no pun intended)

dont bogart that feather ;) love it haha. this is a beautiful fly.

wow that is a brilliant way to make fantastic spinner wings. That Dutch tier must have been a genius or just by chance stumbled into that technique. That looks every bit as good as a wing burner or a synthetic material that is pre-made.

Nice video and when paired with Smhaen flytying by Davidson will give anyone interested in the pattern a couple of alternative wally wings. Thanks

I use hard as nails top coat, yes is way more expensive but flies last longer with these hungry bass, crappie and bluegill they destroy flies

[joncraig]

Really love your videos. I'm not familiar with the fiber used for the body. Can you give me a little more information? Would a goose biot be a possible substitute?

I suppose moose mane could work too? I use that on quill gordons.

Great technique, but most people fail to match the silhouette of these flies, and do so terribly. I suggest everyone read Kelly Galloup's book Cripples and Spinners.

Nice technique, but seems like the wings proportionally are too far forward. But if works, who cares.

[isaacsuxx]

in my experience flies with wings like that just spin like crazy and twist the line. Does this one do that same?

[PissBoys]

I've noticed that whenever you have someone else tying a fly, they're almost invariable using ought measurement thread, while you seem to prefer denier. Any feedback on one or the other?
