I think (like you said) it will fish great! The fish wont care. To hackle the front larger with the same feather size, then just dub the head. Dubbing will bulk up that section and also give it a different color (if you so choose). If you dub it thick, the. That hackle will be appear larger, and tied with the same feather.

Telling flytire how to tie better flies is akin to telling Einstein how to do algebra. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2018 Dude! I was just stating an obvious observation! Well I apologize, my suggestion on his fly was probably stating the obvious as well. Im sure he already knew that trick. I was wrong to give him advice . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
