Question, for someone more knowledgeable than myself on wet fly wings (which could include just about anyone....):
I have been watching You Tube Videos on Wet Fly Wings. When they say you must have a left, and a right section, do they mean you need feathers from the actual left and right side of the bird, or just the left and right side of the quill on one feather?
How can you tell what side of the bird a feather came from? It's not like they are marked "Port", and "Starboard"...... When I fletch arrows, I know, because the fletching says so on the package (when you fletch arrows, the fletching has to all be from the same side of the bird, or your arrows will fly like a dove after the first week of hunting season...), but I don't think they mark turkey, pheasant, or duck feathers for fly tying that way.
