SavannahFlies 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Bruce, Thanks so much, that helped a ton. I was trying to tie the second clump pushed up against the first (wasn't working well) That video showed me exactly where I was going wrong. Now I have something to practice later today! Thanks ever so much for taking your time and effort to :help: me with this. :thumbup: Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 I would like to take a peek at that also. How do I get into Hatches TV? When I click the link I get an ad that is linked to the magazine subscription. Do I need to be a subscriber to the newsletter or the magazine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Well that was weird. I guess third time is a charm. 3rd click on the link brought up the video clip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nymph chucker 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 is it really necessairy to stack the hair? I mean your just going to cut it anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve P 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 I will always stack my first clump, if I'm leaving a collar of sorts, if not then I don't worry about it and just spin that s***. Bruce may I ask what kind of feather that is that you are using on that muddler, I really like the "classic" kind of look, very nice and clean muddler as well.

flytyingscotsman 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2008 is it really necessairy to stack the hair? I mean your just going to cut it anyway Steve P nailed it - if you want a collar, then go ahead and stack - otherwise grab the hair, snip it from the hide, clip the tips off and spin it. I've seen the best of the best do it this way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
