Mallard Feather Flies.

[NickConwall]

Hey all, just thought I'd share what I have came up with so far using only the mallard feathers from that duck; (well about 90 % on the second & third ones where I used peacock hearl on #2 & dubbing on #3) Comments & Critiques are welcome.



...and three others I was messing around with using al sorts of materials...

Those are all nice looking flies man. Great job.

My favorite would have to be that first one. Looks great.

They all look good though. Nice work coming up with those from your duck. Thanks for sharing.

g-78. Those are really nice patterns!! What I especially liked is the variety of patterns. They showed a good cross-section of uses. My fav is the double egg. BTW, which part of the duck made that pattern? It looks like a dynamite steelie pattern...thanks for the pics..jj

... the top three were made from that duck, the btm three were just some I put out there for critique as I kinda like them and wanted to see what might make them better. The one with the 2 big eggs (with one small one in the middle) was made with some old hair (sorry but I have no idea what kind, it's a little stiff and was about 4" long when I began)that I cut off of one of my Great Uncle's monster musky lures.

I like the yellow one a lot. Nice flies.
