Fly Tying: Tying in the Perfect Hackle Tail!

This is a detailed step by step instruction for tying in Hackle Tails and getting the feathers to lay exactly the way you intended! The tutorial is broken up into two different styles of tails with respect to the relative silhouette of the imitated baitfish.

I watched you when I first started tyeing. I wish I wouldn't of watched anyone else.lol I've gotten so off track trying to learn to much to fast. So now, I'm back. Trying to learn from the best I've seen in three years.

I see a Gunner video.. I click. Great topic..thanks so much for all your hard work and dropping knowledge.

[@HatchitFarms]

I've looked everywhere this information and this is by far the best tutorial. Thank you!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Was beating my head against the wall last night trying to tie in a soft hackle tail... never did get it. "Move the feather to the top of the hook..." ****mind blown*** There's still hope for me! Thanks for this man, so incredibly helpful!

[@charlieboutin3341]

Great information! Good drawing for relating feather control..Thank you for sharing! 10k subscribers..that’s awesome. You’re one of the best at describing tying and fishing. I watch you and Kelly Galloup to continue to improve my game..and it’s working! Thanks again. God Bless

[@markwrolstad1708]

Nice man! Love the detailed tutorials...looking forward to seeing that hybrid fly and whatever else you have bouncing around in that genius brain of yours in the fall 🤙

[@michaelkirshner4591]

Thank you!! I've been struggling with hackles for a long time. (BTW, "opacity" is correct.)

[@kroe8611]

Thanks Gunnar! Greetings from Europe, where you have reached quite a popularity... Congrats to 10k!

[@theodorerzepski8491]

You're a good teacher. In New England saltwater fishing we sometimes turn the tail sideways on our deceiver style flies- flatting style. This creates a wing effect so that if the retrieve slows the fly dives down. Speed up the retrieve the fly goes upwards. Viewed from underneath the fly has a bulkier profile. Thanks

[@stewoutdoors3020]

Incredible information. An awesome video with unbelievable hard core details. 👍👍

[@fabriziomapelli9007]

Always something to learne from you... thanks . I love streamer and I think you are probably the best tyier !

[@ridgelinefly6575]

You did it again! Great video with great tips. Had no idea I needed to see this but I did. Keep it up, man!

[@rekir1]

Amazing vid as always. Very appreciated.

[@samstewart3103]

So awesome! Always enjoy your videos. Thanks very much!

[@dwightfletcher8603]

Amazing!!!! Just moved to Florida. Will definitely use this info....🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@hankvana2149]

Thanks for the quick video Gunnar - need to tie up some hackle wing streamers for bass. Tight lines and we will see you in the fall! Cheers! Hank

[@TheStreamUrchin1]

great as always... Lefty used to rip off 5/6 feathers, pinch them and tie them on for his deceiver tail. I'll post it if I can find it. I had it on an old tape. He but a bump where he was to attach clump, rip off small clump and twist them and hold twist to attach on top of bump with loose wraps and tightened. Simple search on UTube will show technique

[@Valasyna]

Thank you so much.. This helps a lot!

[@SkidinDingo]

I couldn't help but think adding some flashabou and an ice ripple fiber head to that second tail would be a great tarpon fly. Easy to cast, sparkly, easy to tie, lands gently . . .

[@turnpush]

Awesome!!

[@kentowakai1234]

Opacity- real word. You had it right.

[@johnnylightning1491]

The proper word you should have used was opaqueness. While opacity is a word it does not pertain to the ability of something to block light. It's not that I'm so smart, I just know how to use a search engine. That said, very nice very useful technique. I know you don't make much money from youtube but I sure do enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work buddy and if you're going to be in Michigan this summer please let me know, I know where there's big pike that don't get fished for much.

[@SolarfallBaits]

also one good way to make the feather so sit the way you want them to is to flatten the stem of the feather with some pliers.

[@noahhoelscher3702]

Strong work! What would be your top fly choice for Minnesota smallmouth? I'm headed that way this summer.

[@michaeligtuqnbiga]

Keeping the flies and the jeans high and tight

[@RyanWaxman]

Hi Gunner, would love to see a video on storage and care. Thanks

[@Ubertrent]

How do you sink the 2nd fly?

[@brianf6500]

What brand hackle do you use?

[@aljacobson9525]

Gunner, been a fan for a while. Can you tell me what model HMH Vise you are using? Do you like pedestal or bench clamp?

[@chrisbukowski9434]

cool thanks

[@lylebeckwith8095]

When are you posting the strung fuzzy fiber bulkhead deceiver video?

[@militarist7777]

Крутой стримерок.

[@Oholisfliesandfishing]

I would fish it just like that 😃😃
