Adult Early Black Stone

Wolve	January 10th, 2008, 5:32 am
Posts: 1	I am trying to tie a female adult early black stone. I want a fly that will look like it is laying eggs at or in the surface of the water. The pattern I am working on calls for wood duck underwing with dark grey duck overwing flaired. I am not sure how to flair the duck wings on this fly. I tied one with standard duck quill wings on the side but somehow it doesn't look right. I think the pattern means strands of a duck feather but I am not sure. Can anyone help me out?

In general, though, most reciepes will specify quill barbs vs. quill segments. In tying a flared (delta) wing each wing is tied on seperately at the desired angle, then one or two half figure 8 wraps to make final adjustments. Dano
	Eventually, all things merge into one...and a river runs through it.
