Wally wing trick by Barry Ord Clarke

Recommended Posts

I love wally wings for the ingenuity and the looks, but I also wonder about durability.

The few I have tied have not seen enough action for me to really tell.

Talking with a tyer at SowBug a few years ago he said to strip the barbs off one side of the feather to make each wing.

Said that his made it much more durable.

Have not done it.

You mean using two feathers instead of one, so that each wing would be pretty much a full quill?

That should help. Note to self.

Yes one feather for each wing. Be sure to strip different sides.

I have a disconnect between thoughts and typing fingers.
