The way you tied in those wing slips was beautiful. A great fly to fish anywhere. Tie a grhe as a dry fly with those wings and a few straggly fibres as a hackle and you have a fly that will take fish all day long when the Olives are hatching.
Got some bad news for you. That's starling. Way harder than mallard. But, tbh I think mallard will just about do. I have read one opinion that mallard is too heavy and unbalances the fly, but I've found it reasonably ok.
Very nice! (I'd be tempted to squeeze in a couple of wraps of partridge hackle, even though the recipe doesn't call for it.I love partridge hackle, and that's just me tying!) Thanks! 👍

I have always struggled with mallard wings, by doing it slowly you made it look it easy .thank you.

Dear Robert
That's a really nice work you did!
What floatant do you use to make your classic dry flies floating well?
Hi Michael, I use Fly-Rite's Dilly Wax on all my dries.
Hi Robert
Thank you for your quick answer! 👍
