Wayne Luallen
Wayne Luallen is a well known fly tyer and instructor, whose skills and thorough and precise - almost meticulous - way of treating fly tying has been appreciated by many and awarded a Buz Buszek Memorial Award.

A test in the print magazine Fly Fisherman showed the Trilene and the Orvis knot to be equally strong and on top of that said that they were able to maintain 100% of the line strength. I really have my doubt if that will hold for all types and thicknesses of line, but still it does prove that these could be the knots of choice for the concerned fly fisher.
One of the things most often asked by neophyte streamer tyers is what types of hackle are best suited for streamer wings. The short answer is.....there is no single source best suited for streamer wings. The long answer...well....I'll ramble on about it for the remainder of this essay!
