Publisher's Synopsis
This is a first in a series of fly-tying books that teaches the reader how to tie a single discipline and do it well. In it the reader will learn how to tie Wonder Wing flies from soup to nuts so to speak. You will learn how to "manufacture" the perfect set of wings in much less time than it takes to "locate" them by searching through a bunch of feathers or a neck. Have you noticed how elusive the perfect set of wings can be to find? That will never again happen when you can "make" them quickly using large size cape feathers, pheasant body feathers, mallard, blue-eared pheasant, etc. The book leads the reader through a standard Wonder Wing application then teaches how to improve the design to provide a better on-the-water experience. Most of the flies illustrated in the book are divided, standing-up wings, but it also includes the same wings with a parachute hackle application and a range of Trude-style wings. It will improve your fly-tying experience AND get you on-the-water faster.
