Very nice work, that many mallard wings at once would dive me crazy. I could have used those this past week.

Cheers guys, i to love these mallard wings, use them a lot over here on the rivers in south Wales.

Here are a few others, but done with hair. as i find the hair stands up to the teeth of sewin and salmon far better,


Black & red hair wing spey.

Black & orange hair wing spey.

As i did say, these do stand up to more abuse.

Nicely done. And you already found out that Coot makes a fine heron substitute on smaller flies.
