Great lesson Jim. Thanks for the ways to wrap the Mallard for different profiles, you're best!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@duderoony]

Nice pattern there Jim. I feel confident having a go at it. Thank you for another one dude.

[@TheFlymanJim]

You can do it!

[@bwhinkston1]

That is an awesome fly! I’m going to tie some up to give to a couple of new-to-fly fishing friends. And I’ll make a few for myself. Thank you for your videos.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Always good to help the new guys. If you use allot of streamers in your waters this will be a keeper. Tie them some Griffiths Gnats #14 so they can score some on dries.

[@bwhinkston1]

Will do. Thanks for the advice.

[@slabslayer7644]

Thanks for helping me learn how to tie flys 🤘🤙

[@TheFlymanJim]

Happy to help!

[@heyjim52]

The feather will lay down after it's wet, but you can take a hair dryer and blow the feather back after your done tying it, Davie McPhail does that on his flies with large feathers.

Thanks for the tip

It is sweet !

[@wdtaut5650]

Aww, it's too simple, Jim. Since I have all that tinsel I told you about, I think I'll add a tinsel body over the wire. Thanks for another great fly.

[@TheFlymanJim]

You can do that it won't hurt.

[@wdtaut5650]

@@TheFlymanJim I meant, it is so simple even I can tie it, but I can't resist adding some more flash.
