The Ibis & White is a favorite I like to tie as it is a simple married and matched wing wet fly and a great fly for tiers to start with who want to start doing married & matched wing wet flies. Due to it's brighter colors the Ibis & White does well in clearer water. The colors will stand out against the surrounding underwater environment but if the water is too cloudy or muddy it gets lost in the light colored waters. While recording this video and processing it for publication I decided to do a more detailed tying supplement on working with goose shoulder and quill for making tails and wings. That video will be out in just a few days. In the meantime here is the Ibis & White. - Enjoy
