Green Wing Teal Wings

[mic]

A buddy of mine gave me matching green wing teal wings. They are really nice. Does anybody have recipes for usable flies?

Classic wet flies and winged dry flies. Small leading edge feathers for RS2 type classic flies. Leading edge of the front main wing feathers should have some small biots.

The breast and flank feathers are nicely barred, did he give you any of those? They make nice dry fly wings and tails.

As JD said...duck wing feathers are for wet flies...different animal parts work for other things.

The barred feathers are awesome for tails and wings on nymphs and dries. Just start experimenting- you'll find something that works. Also, I've seen some people use the smallest feathers (cleaned stem, tips clipped to get a V-shape) under a wingcase on big stones as legs. Just start experimenting- you could come up with a new "go to" fly.
