Wayne Luallen

Wayne Luallen is a well known fly tyer and instructor, whose skills and thorough and precise - almost meticulous - way of treating fly tying has been appreciated by many and awarded a Buz Buszek Memorial Award.
In the beginning of 1995 I attended a seminar with Wayne Luallen and Steven Fernandez here in Copenhagen. Wayne kindly allowed me to use some of his texts and drawings from that seminar and has since contributed more articles to this web site:

One style of streamer that is very effective here in Maine in the smaller casting sizes, is the flatwing streamer. The feature that defines this style, the flat wing, normally consists of a flank feather from some species of duck tied flat on top of the hook, instead of in the classic "upright" manner that the classic New England Streamer patterns specify.
GFF partner Martin Joergensen has let one of his favorite sports events, the bicycling race Tour de France, inspire a way of tying flies. He argues why tying many identical flies can be a good thing - and can be better than tying many different flies.
There are many intended uses for this guide, namely as reference to ensure you have a fairly complete compendium as to what you will need to get started in flytying or to use when dropping the perfect holiday gift hint. But more importantly, it is meant for the budding fly tyer, in hopes that the years of wisdom gained through trial and error from myself and my tying buddies will steer the newcomer down the right path
A recent tying binge left me with a few thoughts on how to tie a quicker and better blue-winged olive mayfly. The ideas aren't necessarily new, but they certainly are worth sharing.
