My wife tied her first fly yesterday and that was the way I told her how to do it because I watched you I think I might have created a monster she loved it thanks Kelly 😊

The stuff you take off is a pretty good feather, could you use it for a tail by itself?

Dang I've been doing that wrong for years then. Thanks for the correction, I'll be sure to remember this from now on.

Great tips thanks. No wonder my woolies are sometimes too stiff in the tail. Thanks

Love all the videos, beginning tier here. If I may ask what is the brand of those readers? I love the magnet type but can never find them in a quality lens, and nothing worse than tying and blind..lol

Kelly, the tip of marabou feathers is often times stringy and with no fluff. I like my tails fluffy but with your method, you don’t get any fluff unless the tips are fluffy.

Do you remove the feather from the patch of feathers that come in the pack. Let me know if I need to rephrase my question

Same basic principle operates across a range of applications in fly tying. You've got the thing in wet/dry flies too, of using two, or three cock hackles rather than the singular. Same principle too with cock hackles, because not all of the entire cock hackle length is ever usable. One would rather have the part of the hackle that really matters, and have two or three, rather than one hackle that has some decent hackle fibers, buried inside a whole load of excess garbage. Never be afraid to fill the dumping basket.

A nice trick that they do a good deal in Irish/Scottish patterns actually, is to combine together different colors of hackle, rather than using all of the same one. This is always a better approach, with the more transparent, glass-like materials like cock hackle, to obtain the desired 'shade' or color, by mixing two opposing shades, instead of trying to find a dyed material that is exactly the right shade. It adds another layer of subtlety. There are lots of good 'green' wet fly patterns that when placed under close inspection, actually have colors like 'black' or bits of 'red' in them.
