wmw4 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 Quick question guys. I've never tied a fly of this style before so for the wing I'm wanting the feathers off a turkey quill if the pattern calls for mottled turkey correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryon Anderson 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 wmw4, yes, that's correct. There are different types of turkey quills with different color patterns, though; for "mottled turkey" I think you want something like these: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chugbug27 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 Here's my first Luzerne, compared to the photo display. I used Pearsall's silk thread instead of polyester floss, on the theory the Pearsall's will look better wet. I used a chrome hook but the black hook photographs much better... not sure the fish will notice. I tied my mallard flank in a bunch at the top... maybe I need to mix the bunch together first so the feathers don't all concave up... I'll try that and see... Any other tips to get this looking better are appreciated... cb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
