Tying with Woodduck Flank - dry flies
By Bob Petti
|
|
The
wings of Catskill style dry flies are the most common
use of woodduck flank. These are some of my favorites.
The three on top are Hendricksons,
the two on the bottom left are Red Quills, and the three
in the middle and bottom right are Quill Gordons.

Wet flies have been around as long as fly fishing itself. Are they starting to see a renaissance? In fly tying circles at least, that may be the case, as tyers look for new challenges and new sources of inspiritaion.
Kasper Mühlbach started fishing for chub with small lumps of dough as a kid, but has since developed flies and techniques to take this query on a fly rod. His chub patterns are simple and will most likely catch you roach and bream too if they are around.
Does anyone remember the early to mid 90's? The rage in the US, at least among tyers of trout flies, was Polish woven nymphs. Fast forward to the dawn of the new century and these articles and flies have all but disappeared? Were they a fad? What happened?
