      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.

    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 RUclips? 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.

    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  Год назад

      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

    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.

    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?

Breathtaking fly, incredible tying, and thank you for posting this.

    You’ve got a lot of patience and precision applying the materials. Lovely pattern. I’m not a fan of CDC though .... do you sometimes use hackle or something else instead of the CDC fibers ?

      Hi Douglas, not sure why you should not be a fan of CDC... Its a great material! But you could use deer hair or a dubbing if wished.
