The Wallywing Method
I’m participating in another fly swap, this time a Classic Wallywing Flies swap. Having never tied a Wallywing before (haven’t tied many dry flies at all to be honest), I figured it was an opportunity to learn something new.
The above link to the Wallywing Method is an excellent How-To – I was practicing last night, and tied my first 2 wallywings ever. I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out… now to do a real pattern… I think for this swap I’ll do a Light Cahill.
Here are my first 2 attempts at a Wallywing (no pattern intended here…. just used what was laying around at the moment.

I received my WallyWing swap flies this past Wednesday, and the flies that everyone did look fantastic! I’ll try and add some photo’s shortly.
Heh heh, actually Wally credits me by name with giving this technique it’s name in a published magazine. Aye, was blown away the first time I seen it. The Caddis version works quite well too.
