Usage tips and recommended ties : To take full advantage of Devaux teal feathers, prepare each feather carefully before tying by removing the downy portion if necessary and sorting by fiber size. Ideal for tying classic wings on dry flies, they also integrate perfectly into nymph bodies thanks to their elasticity and fineness. Paired with light weighted heads or natural silk bodies, they meet the expectations of fly anglers on rivers or lakes. Favor techniques like split-wing or collarette mounting to exploit fiber mobility.
