Soft Hackles
In article WT%6j.579$R4.171@trndny05, Tom Littleton
writes "Halfordian Golfer" wrote in message ... Tom do you ever strip the hackle from one side of the stem before wrapping? TBone no, but it does make a stylish fly. I tie in by the tip and wrap the whole feather. Tom So do I Tom, but I forgot to mention in an earlier posting that I fold both sides of the feather to one side - away from the eye of the hook then start winding. This forms a great hackle for a wet fly. I always tie partridge hackles in by this means. -- Bill Grey
