A few decades ago I tied these flies. Each fly is tied from the feathers of a different duck species. Since fall is here, I thought some of you might enjoy figuring out the duck species that each fly was created with. Some are easy, but some may be harder. All the ducks were collected in central Texas. I will try to watch the thread and confirm the results. Enjoy! Thanks for all who have commented so far! The solution has been added to the bottom of the post. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/11/full-107020-248921-img_2429.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/11/full-107020-248922-img_2427.jpeg)

Wood duck, Hooded Merg., Pintail, Gadwall, not sure on bottom left. Could be several. You did pretty well. There is no Hooded Merganser. Top right - Wood Duck Middle - Pintail Bottom Right - Gadwall Two left. Top left and bottom left. Any other guesses from anyone?

Top Left - Green Wing Teal
Bottom Left - Mallard Top Left - Green Winged-teal. Good call and Congratulations! Bottom Left is not a mallard. Bottom Left is the only one remaining. It is a common duck in Texas, but definitely the most difficult to identify from the fly.

Wow! I was already impressed with all your state fishing records. You are setting a very high bar indeed! Well done.
