Several unique techniques for an elk hair caddis wing in this video at the Limp Cobra - no stack, no clean. https://thelimpcobra.com/2013/11/24/deer-hair-wings-and-muddler-head-the-easy-way/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losthwy 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks for posting that. I will definitely try that. The caption questions the need for multiple loops maybe it needs that due to burning the thread, dunno? No stacking, puts in on the hook with the hide attached, and burns the hair with a lighter. Different to say the least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 It does work, I've used the burning technique quite a bit. You might want to take precautions before doing it though. Something like this should do fine. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted April 18, 2016 What keeps that flame from burning through the tie-off thread? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 What keeps that flame from burning through the tie-off thread? No more air. Fire can't burn past a certain point "easily" due to drop in oxygen the closer the materials get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
