lonefisher Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I have been tying spey/dees lately...... nothing I am proud enough of to take the time to photograph and post but I have been getting really frustrated with em lately..... still haven't gotten the bronze mallard winging mastered. Last night I spent nearly 3 hours placing 1 (yeah 1) set of wings and DESTROYED a full pack of bronze mallard....(I now need to find more bronze mallard) I think I may be trying to tie on too small a hooks for Bronze mallard. size 2's usually and not 2/0 but just size 2s I think. So with the wing in the proper dimensions they are less then an inch long and it seems to be tough to find suitably short decent wings on the mallard I got. Its funny though I tied one last week and took 1 shot at the wings on a lunch break and got it just right first shot in about 1 minute...... I also haven't been able to find my book on tying em for 6 months and I think maybe I have forgotten some tricks over the summer. SD where do you order your winging materials. I want to switch to fully dressed for a while and have a good selection of GP crests, and floss in assorted colours. However I have nothing of good enough quality or any nice matched feathers for the wings. Got some swan in black and pinky purple but they are not very high quality and they have been picked over pretty good. Oh and if you could have one book on tying Fully dressed flies what would it be?
