DarrellP 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2022 I don't know much about Salmon fly tying. What is that wing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flykid 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2022 Hi DarrelP, Not to step on OP's toes, but that wing is what's referred to as a "mixed wing". Without referencing the pattern it looks like it is made up of Golden Pheasant tail (or maybe Florican Bustard), Lady Amherst Pheasant tail, Kori Bustard, Golden pheasant tippet, and Guinea Fowl. May have missed a feather or two. Small strips are stacked on top of each other (the broad way, not edge to edge) then tied in and stroked back with the fingers. This breaks up the fibers a little bit and causes them to mix. Anyone who knows the makeup of the wing better please feel free to correct me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
