  • what was the name on the first feathers u showed us?

  • Hi Amund19976,

    The blue, yellow and red part of the wing is made from Goose Shoulder and the top part is Mallard Flank..

    All the best Davie

  • Hi Davie,

    Would you do the low water feather wing version of the blue charm please?

    would like to tie some up to fish, i know the hair wing is popular now but would be nice to fish with the original.

    Haven't seen you in the Glasgow angling centre on a Sunday Davie, do you still do your monthly tying class?

    Best regards. Alan.

  • Hi Alan(spaycast),

    I have been asked a few times to tye the blue charm with a feather wing, I'll keep you in mind..I haven't been up at the shop on a Sunday for a while but I'm not going to say I will be there as there's no plans to just now..

    All the best Davie

  • how to you line up the fethers like tht

  • Hi treyboy1234567891011,

    You have got to marry the fibres together and line the tips up, Look closely and you will see this. What holds them in place is the very fine fibres which run along the top and bottom, give it a go and you'll see it working...

    All the best Davie

see all

  • @DavieMcPhail Thanks! :)

  • Looks too easy man :O Nice job!!!!

  • Hi Davie,

    Really impressed with this traditional low water fly, would love to see you do another pattern in this style with the married feather wings. could you do one at some time? Many thanks. Alan.

  • Hi David,

    Yes it is the same feather I used on the throat and wing. Google Flank Feathers and you will find all the info you will ever need to know..

    Sorry about taking a couple of days to get back to you..

    All the best Davie
