Hen and hen with chickabou have become my favorites. The cost of game bird skins has gone sky high and hen has much thinner stems and a wider range of sizes and colors.

Great video. I also like to use the Keogh hen hackle.

Excellent information for the soft hackle enthusiast. 👍 It appears one fly in your shop is anxious to share the video with you. 🥴

Great video an explanation of the soft hackles. Interested in all the birds that could be used. I just found your channel and subscribed and enjoy the information and really interested in the soft hackle video that you are going to do on how to use a longer feather on a smaller fly to get the desired and proper length. Will you be posting it when you do the video. I just started to tie a year or so ago and that is one of the issues that I have doing soft hackles. thanks again Dave for your time. I really felt bad for you with that fly bothering you, I wanted to swat it away from you. lol

Very informative, thank you! If you'd please, what type of bird is a Chopper?

[@chip7871]

You mentioned you would show in another video how to compensate for the long hackle, is that video out yet? Thanks for doing these, I have learned a lot.

[@EastRosebudFlyTackle]

Not yet, we will be doing that one later this week. Appreciate you following these, we will keep them coming!!

I just started hunting grouse and woodcock in the Adirondacks, never heard of how one uses grouse tail feathers in fly tying, seems like someone would have some idea for a fly using them...

[@TheSilver9r]

Excellent video! Thank you! This may be out of your realm of expertise but I would like to know how to prep game bird skins and wings. There are not any useful videos on how to skin and preserve skins/wings. I get a lot of grouse every year and usually just pluck the feathers off and chuck the wings. I didn't know there were so many useful feathers on the wings but how do you preserve them? thanks again!

[@jamesdriscoll9573]

Woodcock, just wondering if you have any videos using that bird? I will look! Ty.

Greatings from Denmark. Which bird does the CDC feather come from?

What is the difference in a Whiting Winger cape vs a regular Whiting hen cape?
