Wally Wing Hatch Master

Fly Tying a Wally Wing Hatch Master Dry Fly. Great fly for spring creeks and rivers with smooth runs.

I'm now given to tying all mayfly patterns with the W.Wing; I'm convinced the tying time is worth it as it is the most productive wing design, ever ... the one bite fragility of the Wally Wing, notwithstanding. Excellent version and elegant result, Bill. Thanks for the video.

[@freddefelice1419]

Excellent pattern. I hope I can master those wings after making a few of those. Best wings I've seen. Very good demo. Thanks

Thank You for writing the best book ever on fly tying!!

[@bowhunter2712]

Thanks for showing your technic. This is the best and easiest way I have ever seen to tie this fly.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Beautiful fly

Hi Bill. Great Fly! I've doing this a couple of seasons and works beautifully. I 've made also a Dragonfly using the same pattern, bulky thorax, and vivid colors. Great choice and Excellent video!! Fred.

I always grab 2 fibres and pull down because when doing a Wally wing fly 9 times out of 10 one of the fibres will break. I just finished tying a wally wing pattern and out of 6 I tied 4 broke one of the pull fibres. I prefer a hackle on my Hatch masters.

Beautiful,delicate,true to the life form!Supa,brother! Fish hard.

Thanks for the comment, Fred. The Wally Wings on a fly not only look great in the box, but also help set up the fly beautifully in the water for a very realistic look. Will also try to tie a Dragonfly with this pattern. Thanks again, Bill.

Wonderful! Looks like it could just fly away.

[@TheXeniaman]

That is a hell of a fly. Well done!

Beautiful work! Dot you have a web page where you sell these? Thanks.🐜🦗🪰 tight lines!!!!

[@flugschulerfluglehrer]

Very nice tail. Thx for sharing.

[@JamesMcCutcheon]

I pick up allot of mallard flank feathers these are nice. does color matter that much, or can you dye these with food coloring? Hey thanks for that Video I am impressed. You are a very patient tying master. I am just now getting back into doing some tying after retirement. Hopefully I can catch up with you tying masters.

[@billmiller1168]

Color does matter. The wings and abdomen will vary in color depending on what type of mayfly you are tying. I use permanent markers to color the feathers.

Hi Bill Are you going to do a Dragonfly with this pattern video. There are a lot of dragon fly out there but I think you will finally do it right. I have you Subscribed if you go there, please do let me know as well.

[@billmiller1168]

Will give the dragon fly a try. Currently, tie an extended body Blue Damsel using a foam body and wings that I have had good success with, especially at Silver Creek in Idaho.

[@golo5000]

Have your back will look forward to your dragon fly...cheers.

Elegant

[@No_NetMan]

How well does it hold up? Is it pretty much a one fish wonder?

[@billmiller1168]

Can be, Franz if thr fish swallows the fly or you take the fly out of the fish's mouth with pliers tearing the wing. A torn wally wing hatch master sometimes performs better since the fly takes on characteristics of an emerger or cripple - just what the fish may want. Normally, land 3 to 4 fish on a hatch master, especially if the fly is removed by pinching the wings together by hand and rotating the hook out of the fish's mouth.

[@No_NetMan]

@@billmiller1168 thanks for the quick response! They look exceptionally realistic and I've just learned wally wings, so I'm definitely going to tie some up!

[@billmiller1168]

@@No_NetMan You will definitely enjoy the performance of a wally wing dry fly on the water. Don't use any floatant on a wally wing hatch master. The duck flank feathers are naturally impregnated with floatant. Additional floatant will only weigh the fly down and negatively impact performance.

[@No_NetMan]

@@billmiller1168I can't tell you how much I appreciate this little extra information! I'm sure I'll have a more enjoyable time because of it!
