This is a supplemental video on working with duck quill to make married & Matched wings. I recently released a video on the Trout Fin which has a married and matched wing as well as a while ago the fly called the Martin that has a married and matched tail. When people start making these types of wings some of the first issue they run into is determining what materials are good materials and then how to handle/manage the materials to make the overall process go smoothly. This video attempts to answer some of those questions. I hope it adds more enjoyable time at your vise. - Enjoy
Not the best audio in this video, still working on this type of video and the logistics involved.

Working flies and formal flies. Working flies are what I tie for fishing. I do not tie formal flies but am thinking about it. The salmon and steelhead flies are absolutely beautiful, and I love watching a professional fly tier, such as yourself, tie them on UA-cam.
Thank you for the compliment! Although I enjoy fly tying and pushing myself to learn and perfect my craft most of my flies I fish with are not all that pretty. They catch fish and that is what they are supposed to do. - Ian Anderson
I found this video exceptionally useful. I’ve struggled with duck wings for many years. My flys fished well but showcase flys were rare. I first learned to tie winged wet flys 50 years ago. For the last 20 years I got away from married wings and spent my time tying nymphs and dry flys. I bought synthetic wings and got use to tying them onto my flys. However now I tie a lot of flies and got back into classic wet flies. Euronymphing dominated my fly selections, but now I have plenty of time to relearn a forgotten craft.
Since I want to tie some Atlantic salmon flies, maybe you could do a demo Video on marrying different feathers together. Thanks for what you do.
I am glad you like the video. I think that is a great suggestion for another tying video! I shall get some more elaborate wet flies and/or salmon flies on the schedule and add another supplemental video on how the wings are made. Thanks for the feedback and suggestion.
Great video and such a good resource for those looking for some pointers on married wings
Thank you for the feedback. I am glad you found something informative. As my video, audio and editing skills improve I will probably redo this video on day. I hope to sharpen it up a bit and bring out more detail. - Ian Anderson
Great tip with the tape.Great video.
Yes, the tape trick made it much easier for me when I started learning how to manage this material. Glad you like the video. Look for more like it in the future. - Ian Anderson
Thank you! I wondered how this was done. I have some spare feathers to experiment and practice.
You are welcome Ruth. I am glad you found the video helpful. Practicing is the key. The more you manage and handle the feathers the more you learn what you like and what to look for. Best of luck! - Ian Anderson
Very nice. Thanks for this video
William, you are welcome. Thanks for watching! I am still working on the audio for this type of video as well as the lighting. Hope to have some better quality video in the future but I am glad this helps. - Ian Anderson
Well done!
Thank you James, I am glad you liked the video. Let me know if there is any other tying info you might want to see a video on. Be Well, Ian Anderson
Very informative. I’ve struggled with these wings for years. Thank you. I just found your channel looks like lots of good information.
You are welcome, I am glad you like the video and found the information helpful. I can not take all the credit for the information, Don Bastian (and others) have been a great influence. I am glad to pass along what I have learned that is helpful for me. We all keep learning! - Ian Anderson
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like the video. Working on another videos like this. Seems many people like them. Thanks for the compliment. - Ian Anderson
@@DressedIrons There's so many videos of tiers tying patterns. I like them and still watch those occasionally. What tiers "need", especially newer tiers, are instructional videos like yours here that plainly and clearly teach a "technique" and does the job extremely well. I missed those growing up at the vise; there were a few. However, "nothing" replaces sitting at the vise and putting the newly learned technique to task. From there, it's all about repetition and more repetition as we work closer to mastering a technique. I look forward to more of these! Thanks!
@@freddysflyz thanks for the additional feedback. It seems others think the same thing, especially UA-cam. They pushed this video on the 20th and my views went through the roof (for a little channel like mine). I have more videos like this in mind but am always open to suggestions. if there is a technique or material you would like to see a more in depth video on let me know. I'll do my best to get it done. - Ian Anderson
Absolutely learning a ton of information from your videos. Thank you so much
That is exactly what I like to hear! It seems others agree as this video has done VERY well. I will get more like it out in the future. Thanks for the compliment. - Ian Anderson
Ian, great tutorial! Going to try your techniques for married wings. It can get frustrating at times but remind myself to practice, practice, practice. I was taught the that line created between the thicker part of the feather and the useable finer feather was called a " blood line" not sure if the term correct. Will keep you posted on success, have a planned trip to a fly shop and hopefully a tying session barring no honey do projects, lol. Have a great day and tight lines!!
Steve, thanks for passing that information along. It seems to be ringing some bells in my old gray cells. I will do some further research. The key is working with feathers that are of good quality. Unfortunately, that often means buying many. Thanks for the comment and I am glad you found the video helpful. - Ian Anderson
Excellent
Thank you! Glad to hear you like the video. I hope there was some useful information for you. - Ian Anderson
thanks
Robert, you are welcome. I am glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for the comment. - Ian Anderson
I found the idea of never buying craft feathers sturdy but then I learned about married wings and realized people are just picky.
Some people can get picky but I don't mind using feathers from the craft store or Amazon for fishing flies or when working on a new technique. Use what works for you. - Ian Anderson
Great info. Way too much talk though.
Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for commenting. - Ian Anderson
Very good information! Thank you! Do you make all your wings at one time for say a dozen flys? Tight lines🐞🐜🦟!!!!
Glad you like the video and found it helpful. I generally do not for wet flies. You can but the issue you have is the wings can get blown around the tying desk. It is usually just as easy to pick up the quills and build out the final wing as you tie the flies. Good question. - Ian Anderson
