Great Article on Whiting

Thanks for posting that Silver! I haven't been tying long enough to remember the "Poor hackle" I hear the long timers talking about.

Now I have a growing itch to head on up to Charliesflybox and get a new saddle or cape.

I remember there was a run on genetic saddle hackle a few years ago, it was all the rage to weave those long feathers into girls' hair or something.

 

I just tried to use some of my old Indian hackle for a nymph, not having a decent hen feather for it. Horrible. Time to toss all of them and buy hen necks for the wets and keep going with the new saddles for the dries.

Sure, I'll take a picture for you when I get home tonight. As I recall there's a brown, ginger, & maybe a black one. I've hardly used them since the late 1980's, they are old necks.
