Single Wing Flatwing- by Joe Cordeiro and Tightlines Productions

Joe Cordeiro ties a single wing Flatwing Fly by Tightlines Productions (http://www.tightlinevideo.com). A great large profile fly with little bulk, the flatwing is a favorite with Striper fisherman. Be sure to check out the under water footage of the flatwing to see how the materials build a large body with great movement. The technique for tying in the bucktail not only creates height, but width as well.

Great instructional video. Would like to see a triple wing tied as well. Flat wingers can go to stripermoon.com to visit Ken Abrames on flatwings also.

Wow! I love the eyes; what is that material (for the eyes)? I’d like to give this a try in the flats here in FL. A 1X is kinda’ big for Snook but other Salt water prey is would be ok.

Again, what is the material for the eyes?

They are Jungle Cock eyes from a male Jungle Fowl. They are most often used when tying salmon flies.

A quality neck with a good size range of feathers can be hard to find and isn’t going to be cheap, but they sure do look good.
