Catskill-Style Split Woodduck Wings - Joe Fox

Tim Flagler shot this video yesterday at the Spare Gray Matter event in Califon, NJ, of Joe demonstrating his method of splitting the woodduck flank feather for the wings on a Catskill-style dry fly.  Joe is a direct descendant of the Dette's - Walt, Winnie and Mary - and now operates the Dette Fly Shop in Roscoe, New York in the very same house on Cottage Street where Walt once showed me (many years ago) how he split the woodduck flank feather for the wings on his flies.
