SalarMan 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2022 8 hours ago, Poopdeck said: The 70’s are alive! My first Wally wing. I found the Wally wing process simple enough. The hard part was wrapping the hackle around it. No matter what I did I just couldn’t get it to lay right. Tied it in before a higher level of frustration set in. I’ll work on it, maybe switch to CDC. Critiques are always welcome. I’m not overly sensitive. Hook - size 12 Thread - Olive UTC 70 Wings - Mallard flank Tail - dun micro fibbets Body - Ginger polish quill Thorax - March Brown dubbing Hackle - Brown. I like it!! When I tied those all the way back into the 70's (LOL) we called them "wonder wings". I am curious...how and why the change in terminology? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't tied either of those style wing, don't have enough hair left to pull out. Reading that made me wonder if the wonder wings were a result of tying a Darby two feather style of fly. Nice tie, BTW @Poopdeck, looks good to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice tie, BTW @Poopdeck, looks good to me. Thank you, You are to kind. The actual wing is really simple. Just have to work out proportion, location and use less thread. I’m worried about the wing surviving my caveman like casting style. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
