Lately I find my self tying up more married wings than any other fly, not sure why, they take way longer and are way harder to tie. But they sure are pretty and fun to fish....
This fly was a big step for me, I have always had issues with marrying turkey to goose for some reason. I was amazed that after I set the wing the barbs were all still married together. There are still some kinks that need to be worked out in this fly ( floss, herl and the topping) but I have gotten the hardest part down.
I am now in need of some higher quality Jungle Cock and some nice swan to continue with this style of fly
I thought you may like to see what a set of wings looks like before they are tied in. This wing is mad up of Lady Amherst Tail and Turkey Tail.
Success! This wing went on perfectly without splitting the wing. All that is left is the Jungle Cock eyes and then trimming the waste material at the head. (I use a razor blade to trim the head because its easier and cleaner.)
Thanks for reading
