I was reading about tying techniques on midcurrent the other day and came across tips for tying a "looped wonder wing." I did a little more research and came across this tutorial.
I've never seen this style of wing before and thought it was interesting so I thought I'd share it here. They look great and use those big feathers that would otherwise only get used for tails. A bit hard to tie on smaller flies, but I'm sure that it gets easier with practice.
Here's my first try. Shorter hackle would help, and I could have used more stem and therefore wing fibers, but it illustrates the idea...
