Status: online 		In an attempt to make the tutorial section as organized as possible, several members thought it would be a good idea to create a thread that would be pinned to the top of the page for those who may be interested in asking a question about a certain method of tying or seeing a complete tutorial on a certain pattern. Please try to ask questions or make requests that would be best served by what this section is all about and that is tutorials. For instance, if your interested in just what materials that are used in a certain pattern - that would be better served on the main Fly Tying page. There are so many talented members here on this forum, that I'm sure someone will be able to help out. The thing about fly tying is that there are so many different directions to go from midges for trout to saltwater flies for stripers. So ask away within this thread and together lets make this section a great resource for us all to refer to.

A video or maybe pictures of this specific part or maybe more specific pictures. Another tutorial I would be interested in would be the lazer flies Ive seen before and how they are fished. thanks

I can do a laser fly tutorial.

Status: online 		If I get a chance to tie this weekend, I'll do one.  However, I'm not going to be at a computer most of next week, I have to do some out of office work.  So, if it can wait a week or more until I post it, I'll do it.  If someone else wants to do one, I'll let them do it.

Status: online 		This may seem elemetary but can anyone give me some advice on what is the best technique to use when using mallard breast feathers as a collaring material. I'm trying to tie up a pattern I saw in the Orvis catalog called a Chicken Little and I can not get the mallard feathers to wrap in a satisfactory manner.

Thanks.

Status: online 		Buggerman, a few tips:

1: Wrap collar wet-hackle style. (Pull the fibers back against the grain, and tie in by the tip.)

2: Strip all fibers from the "down" side of the quill. For example, in a traditional setup, the hook eye is the rightmost part...when tying in by the tip, you'll strip all fibers from the far side of the feather, then wrap away from you.

3: Choose feathers with thin quills, and only use the portion of the feather with the thin quill. No good will come of trying to use a chunky-stemmed feather.

If you've got a little extra room at the head, or dont mind making the head a bit bulky ni the name of weedlessness, you can try some of the wire weed guards shown here:
