1morecast 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2007 While searching for a couple of patterns to tie for salmon in the salt and in esturies, I have come across numerous patterns which call for a "rolled wing". The material used is mallard flank or a simialiar material. I was wondering if anyone out there can describe the process of the rolled wing. Thx.

Guest Report post Posted October 17, 2007 It certainly make for an ugly wing, but I suppose that it is expedient when tying by the dozen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert Brehm 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2007 OK, then. Here is another tutorial with pictures for a rolled wing. Although it looks more like it is folded in quarters. http://www.gwentanglingsociety.co.uk/index...2&Itemid=53 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I met him in Idaho Falls, Idaho at the East Idaho Fly Tying/Fly Fishing Expo. Very nice guy and a very fine tyer. He tyed me a March Brown Emerger which i still have.....a very inovative design. Works like a champ. mark..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoyalWulff 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2007 I find this method very useful for tying low water salmon flies, or short takers.. which ever you want to call them. But it is fast, and looks pretty decent. I sometimes just bunch my BM. I will post a picture when I get home. But I like this method, especially as an alternative to hair wings like moose or squirrell tail. -Phil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
