a flatwing dry fly by Vince Marinaro with recipe and direction by Ed Story in Missouri Trout Flys: How to Tye and Fish Them (mimeographed 1986)

Prepare the flat wing: select out just the tip of a feather and strip stem leaving a wing length of hook shank; trim leaving a tie-in stem; harden feather with head cement or UV resin
Lay down a thread base
Tie in a dry hackle at hook bend shiny side out
Dub a slender body in color of choice
Palmer the dry hackle in spiral wraps over the body; tie in, tie off, and clip extra
Trim dry hackle fibers: short on top parallel to body; at an angle on bottom longer under the eye and shorter to the hook bend
Tie in the wing behind the eye, centered and laying flay on top of the body
Wrap a thread head; whip finish; head cement.
