Fly Tying Extra - Matched & Married Goose Tails & Wings - Dressed Irons

Subscribe for more fly tying videos like this one: bit.ly/3sfHYOR
This video is a sort of an addon to both the Ibis & White and The Martin. In this video I will show how I process Goose shoulder and make a married and matched tail from Goose shoulder for the Ibis & White. I will also show how I make a married and matched wing from Goose Quill for the Ibis & White. This video goes in depth into why and how to keep the different "sides" of the wings separate so the resulting slips will marry together as desired. The possible drawback to this video is I am working with white goose shoulder and quill and recorded the video with a white background. I did not think about this until processing the footage and realized it can be difficult to keep track of the materials. Let me know in the comments below if you have a difficult time following along with this video and I will make plans to redo the video with a better background, clearer materials as well as making certain everything is in focus better. - Enjoy

James, glad you liked the video and the information. Hope it helps with your tying! - Ian Anderson

I'm gonna have to watch this one a few more times with feathers in hand. Oh, darn. I have shoulder feathers but no wings. Guess I'll have to order some more fly-tying stuff. Boo-hoo. 🙂 Great things to consider in this video!

Having feathers in hand does help when watching this type of video. Glad you found something useful and something else you need to buy. Gotta stimulate that economy! 😁 - Ian Anderson

Thanks, Ian! Happy New Year! 🎉

You are welcome. I have more Fly Tying Extra videos planned for the winter. Anything in particular you would like to see? Happy New Year. 🎉- Ian Anderson

Ian, great tutorial and very informative. Do have a reliable source for goose shoulder feathers? Most everything that I have found has been terrible. One side of the feather is great and the other side seams to be way to thin to be useful. I will give your Hobby Lobby suggestion a try for practice feathers. Very familiar with the old adage " Practice makes perfect".. Have a safe and Happy New Year !!

I have found Natures Spirit usually has good feathers as well as good matches. Lately, I have found it difficult to find any. I did go to J. Stockard (www.jsflyfishing.com/) and they seemed to have a good supply. Order twice what you think you will need. If you are looking for some decent feathers to practice with (as well as fish) you can find some nice goose "craft" feathers on Amazon (amzn.to/3vymCNe). There are many sellers and many colors. Most are longer shoulder feathers but very workable. Happy New Year.🎉 - Ian Anderson
