  16. "4. The pattern calls for "mallard flank - sheathed" for the top wing. I take that to mean "tented" over the marabou and golden pheasant crest (first layer). Am I'm wrong about that? I'm learning a lot of the techniques from Leeson and Schollmeyer's Fly Tyer's Benchside Reference and I don't see a particular method for "sheathing" but I assume it's just a methodology difference. I'm sure a lot of you have a copy of that book so I was hoping someone would point me to a Method Number that would be best for this technique." heres is an article that shows how to make the wing http://globalflyfisher.com/streamers/tips/flatwing/flatstyl.htm
