Thank you Mr Barry Ord Clarke. I made a copy of this fly. It was a succes in the Kill the corona fly tying contest. You gave me the inspiration to make the fly. There were many tries before i was happy with it. Thank you for your tyingvideos. If you want to se it it was nr 28. Best regards Patrick Hedberg Avesta Sweden.
This is a very elegant variant, Barry. From time to time, I read comments on tying demonstrations pointing toward ars gratia artis when they incorporate realism. Your knack for capturing impressionism is uncanny. When experienced tyers and fly fisherman are wow'ed, you're on the right path.
Great tying, great fly, perfect representation of fly tying in that: various materials used all perfectly suited for each segment of the fly, various techniques applied, 'realistic', it will fish well (I'm sure to find out). Solid all round. Thanks Barry. You're the man.
My gosh, I’d be pulling my hair out trying that pattern, lots of patience required which unfortunately I don’t have, really enjoy watching your skill, thanks again for another great video. Jimf
A tip I got watching Kelly Galloup that helped me tremendously with deer hair heads and may help someone else. Tie a stacked collar in first, with the ends already cut so it is seperate from the hair you put for the head. Makes it much easier to get the collar sitting correctly and makes it much easier to not accidentally cut if off. You can then trim tips off the spinning hair so you dont mix it up. Also makes for a cleaner head with no thread seperation as the thread from the collar is hidden under the hair
@@Thefeatherbender I was wondering what video you had that you mentioned in this one where you said you gave further instructions/guide on making wings? I couldnt find anything like that when I searched or scrolled through your channel. Was curious how you get your wings so pointed. Is it the difference between mallard and wood duck feathers or something specific you do? As for the hair topic from my original comment, you make hair spinning and trimming look so simple but it is the one thing I really struggle with! Love your videos and your books keep up the good work.
@@ThatSB The video is 'Wally Wing Dun' No difference between mallard and wood duck only wood duck is smaller and yellowish. All you do to get the pointed wings is to squeeze the finished wings so they become pointed.
@Thefeatherbender thank you! Ironically my mallard feathers are smaller than my wood duck feathers so I decided to stick with wood duck. I need to order some higher quality mallard anyway. Thanks for the response
I start watching your work on tie fly and sins i get very passionate on fly fishing, i thing your explanation is exellent because not to much speech but fact. I really love watch your work.Tank you
I just love how some folk around the world say the number 0 as naught.. when you said it "we have 40 naught thread here" I immediately thought of wind speed and said "Damn Barry that is some fast thead".. Oh I have been locked up to long now.. ;-) oo this is a nice one.. I am gonna mark it in your book.. I had to quit saving your videos though.. it will be easier to just go back to your whole page and pick the ones I want to do... Now off to the back yard to practice my flick... I have a hard bound version coming.. and will send you some money for your new one soon.. stay sane my brother..
It's 'aught' Tink, 14/ aught, it means the same as naught. Well thats great! And your wife family is from the west coast here? Those Norwegians got around...
Another great tie Barry. One thought though, would it not be better to set the wings in position after wrapping the moose mane body? That way you might not have to keep lifting the wings out of the way.
I have never fished a fly with Wally Wings and they look very elegant but how do they hold up? It seems that after the first fish they would be torn up.
@@Thefeatherbender Thank you Do you have a link where I can look at them, I have searched and cannot find anything that looks like the one you used in the video.
Wow. Amazing how easy you make it look. I don't know which fly in your book to start with? It sure won't be this one. Which one would you say is best for a beginner?
Hi Marc, I don't, and trout very seldom take them for some reason! But you can use this with a little adaption of a chunkier body: th-cam.com/video/JJJisqh1R_c/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Jeff, LOL, No, It happens to the best of us, I was using 14/0 tying thread and I was a little frightened of applying too much pressure on the thread and breaking it. But I made a good recovery... The wing should remain on top of the hook shank and the but ends should spin and form a muddler head.
This is absolutely the high water mark in fly tying. I was relieved when you trimmed off all the fibres under the fly. This one really tested me. Sorry to report SIX interruptions for ADS. I know that's not your setting, Barry. You can insist that there be just one before, one during, and one after. Your vids never used to be so comprehensively blighted.
Thank you Duo, Yeah I know and its a few videos that TH-cam choose to do this with for some reason. The problem from my side is that I have to go in to each individual video and change the setting, which is a real pain... Have a great Christmas...
Hi Richard, Yes I do. You have to buy select mallard flank from Veniard they are available in small, medium & Large, or even better you can purchase a whole mallard skin...
So I think I figured it out. Tying flies and catching fish is too easy - so you guys on TH-cam just simply invent and make fun and stuff. There is no way that fly is gonna work anywhere. So I'm gonna play the straight guy. And not pretend. And do it for real. : )

Takker Patrick jeg skal ta en titt på denne!

Thank you, I try....:-)
I caught myself blowing my screen when you were trimming the deer hair lol!!!!
Ha, Your not the only one that does that Steve!
Wow this is a real home run. So many different skills to practice. Thanks for sharing again.
Thanks Hugo, good luck with it.
Great Feather Bender I liked it very well, it is not for nothing that you are my Master I learn a lot from you. Big hug and good friend. 👍👍
Gracias Amarrado!
Another magic tie and a challenge for today. Thanks from NZ.
Thanks John.
Barry, you are a real stud. Love your videos and techniques.
Thanks Ted.

Thank you Luiz.
I just ordered your book I love your technique
Thanks Marc, please let me know how you get on with it.
Very nice. Sharp looking fly there.
Thanks Chris.
Impressive tie, Barry. Well done!
Thanks James.
Superb tie. I bet it fishes great as a dry and just as well as a small streamer.
Thanks Skidin, never tried it as a streamer!
That is an ALSOME looking Fly !!.. Great Job!! Thanks for sharing that pattern with us.
Thanks Mike.
Great tie, sculptural. Thanks for sharing! KANSAS USA

Super....... numero 1. Perfetto in tutti i dettagli.
Thank you.
Sehr schöne Fliege! Schwierig zu binden!
Danke Oberangler.
Exellent fly, several different skills enjoyed every second. Be well.
Thank you Stan.

Hi Norbert, thank you I hope that you start tying!
Beautiful fly...looks really tough to tie but your end result was right on. My patience has to be at its best to try and tie this one! 😉
Thanks Mike good luck with it.

Thanks Doug, yeah I couldn't agree more. The problem is when I am filming I sometimes get caught up in stuff that I shouldn't, and then...
I have never fished a fly with Wally Wings and they look very elegant but how do they hold up? It seems that after the first fish they would be torn up.
They work and are surprisingly more robust than you think...
Can you please tell me what that razor blade holder thing is called, and where I can get one?... Thank you sir!🙂
Hi Marcos, The tool is made by STONFO and is called 'Razor Stonfo' www.datocms-assets.com/4382/1640168366-catfly.pdf
All I can say is wow!
Thanks Dave.
I am already thinking Western Green Drake's on The Henry's Fork!
Great, great show. Thanks for sharing. I'm not ready to do such a job. Ten minutes for you, how much for me? :-)
Thanks, but Its not that difficult Mick...
Where did you find the tool to trim the deer hair at the end? What a great technique!
Thanks Brainmed, the tool is from a a company called Stonfo.
What are the pliers you use to pinch down the sides of the wings?
Hi Jeff they are artery clamps.
@@Thefeatherbender Thank you Do you have a link where I can look at them, I have searched and cannot find anything that looks like the one you used in the video.
@@noelange1 I don't they are very difficult to find but I am trying to source them. If I find them I'll make a post about them.
@@Thefeatherbender Thank you
Wow. Amazing how easy you make it look. I don't know which fly in your book to start with? It sure won't be this one. Which one would you say is best for a beginner?
Hi Randy, Thanks, this one is not in the book but very similar ones are. If you are a new beginner you should start with the pheasant tail.
Великолепно, это уже произведение искусства, на такие мушки не ловить, а в музей на выставку 👍👍👍🤝
Thank you.
Do you have a alder fly pattern you can share thank you marc
Hi Marc, I don't, and trout very seldom take them for some reason! But you can use this with a little adaption of a chunkier body: th-cam.com/video/JJJisqh1R_c/w-d-xo.html

Excellent gOOd jOb Thank you
Thank you Franck.
Una belleza!
Gracias Oscar!
Michel très belle mouche
Merci Michel.
Great....
Thanks Rapui.
Әдеттегідей керемет 👍👍👍
Бұндай өнер туындысын балық, немесе судағы кедергілерге іліп үзіп алатын болсаңыз өкінішті.
SUPER
Thank you.
Love it. Looks really buoyant. One question, do you purposely spin the deer hair to spread the collar or keep it pinched on top?
Thanks Jeff, LOL, No, It happens to the best of us, I was using 14/0 tying thread and I was a little frightened of applying too much pressure on the thread and breaking it. But I made a good recovery... The wing should remain on top of the hook shank and the but ends should spin and form a muddler head.

Do you have someplace special you but your mallard flank feathers? Every time I buy them there junk.
Hi Richard, Yes I do. You have to buy select mallard flank from Veniard they are available in small, medium & Large, or even better you can purchase a whole mallard skin...
@@Thefeatherbender Thank you for the quick comeback and the info.
I can only imagine the stench from burning the deer hair...
I love the smell of burning deer hair in the morning, ...It's the smell of...Victory!
So I think I figured it out. Tying flies and catching fish is too easy - so you guys on TH-cam just simply invent and make fun and stuff. There is no way that fly is gonna work anywhere. So I'm gonna play the straight guy. And not pretend. And do it for real. : )
