Wet fly tying is bit of a lost art and requires what I dare to say, Practice, practice and patience. You really need to tye larger flies at first like size 6 so your hands learn about the material (Wings). You also need to know about Duck and Goose quills and the usable part of the quills that you should use. Once this has been achieved, you can start tying smaller wets and still make them look pretty and tyed well.

I am a throwback into tying far as wet flies goes and do not ever tye them with new modern materials. They do not look right. There are some wet fly patterns where some quills are extremely difficult or out right expensive to find and use. That is when I get creative and substitute and sometimes color with prisma markers for patterns like the Onondaga.

I have to agree with Allan on this 100% on what he stated.
