Hi Gandalf,

I have wrapped the woodduck flank barbs the same way one wraps PT barbs on a PT nymph, correct.

This pattern has woodduck, as per the recipe. Those pattern where I use Woodcock it is more than likely Eurasian Woodcock, Scolopax rusticola (large Eurasian range). That said, I understand that all 7 species of woodcock share a close resemblance in coloration and size, so who knows for certain?

Cheers,
