      I tied flies with my grandfather when I was a little boy. It was a blast when i left the army i decided to give it another go but i can't use a fly rod so i stopped. I still love watching it being done it's very soothing.

    When I saw the quality of the wing and how you used the resin top trick, I thought “This man is talented AND he has a big brain”. always so incredible and educational. Thank you.

    3 decades ago i was lucky enough to send some time tying and fishing with Wally Lutz. The Wally Wing was truly an innovation in the tying world for duns and spinners. Another pattern Wally invented was a double winged caddis which I helped named the "no-brainer." Is that pattern on UA-cam? If not I'll tie and post Wally's pattern.
    I have a few other patterns he showed me while fishing. Several are single material and extremity effective.

    This is a beautiful fly and I’m going to take a swing at trying to tie it. My one question is how does it hold up after a catch? It seems like a very delicate fly and I would imagine a trout would destroy it, no? My plan is to tie this and display it in my tying room if I get anywhere close to the way you tied it. Breathtaking fly, incredible tying, and thank you for posting this.

    • @Thefeatherbender
      @Thefeatherbender  4 роки тому +2

      Hi Ryan, thanks. They hold up enough for a couple of fish, so I don't mind that as I tie a lot of them. Its only practice so take your time and try and find good mallard flank. Good luck!

    Barry what I do when I work with that poly for that purpose is to put a drop of UV on the tip so I don't have stray fibers to deal with. It's an extra step but not having to fiddle with stray fibers while working with the other materials, Now to go tie some BWO size 24 in this style, I think the Wally wing might be the easy part! One of these days I should come to Norway to fish for a bit and maybe drink some single malt.

    So, yesterday I attempted this. was a struck of beginners luck. Today I had it almost done but couldn't wip finish the head. To much material or to little of a hook. Or both. Needless to say that bug went to the garbage and another one will be the 3rd attempt in a couple of days from now. Still a little pissy about that last one. You tie hard flys my friend. Little envious. But love the challenge. Thanks for upping my skills! Cheers!

    • @Thefeatherbender
      @Thefeatherbender  Рік тому

      Hi, definitely too much material, as you can tie this on many hook sizes... If you start your tying thread 2-3 mm behind the hook eye you can use this mark as a finishing point before you whip finish, you'll have enough room. Proportions and getting them right come with practice and repetitive tying over time. Keep doing what you are doing and you will get there... Good luck

    Hi Barry, this fly is excellent !!! You have shown us a great kind of tying !!! .... I am a great admirer of yours and I hope to ever tie something similar to what you tie ... I ask you how long the wings have and how can I measure it in the duck feather ... is 1 1/2 the gap? or 3/4 or 1 length of the shank? Thank you very much!!

    • @Thefeatherbender
      @Thefeatherbender  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Ferrer, Thank you. The wings should be about the same length as the hook shank. Make the wings larger and you can trim them down to the correct size afterwards.

      @@roynricksbigbandboogie4090 ahhh you have committed sacrilege!! May the great Caddisfly God smite thee for speaking of such horrors! 🤣😂🤣😂 I did that for a bit for this spinner mayfly pattern made with foam and organza but they did not last past one fish. Have you had success?

    This fly is tied in a very ingenious manner, particularly the wings and CDC. I’d hate to have it destroyed after the first 3-inch fish that goes after it…😂
    Well done, Barry!

    Question: Is there some sort of light spray that you can use to help preserve these beautiful flies?

      Hi Robert, you can give them a very fine coat of varnish or head cement, but if tied correctly, they do hold up pretty well...
