vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2021 Is that your cross tie under the hook? Don't know if you've ever done a tutoral on this forum but some would like to see it I'm sure. I could never get it down though I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niveker 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2021 Very interesting. Is that one feather before tying in the hackle/legs, and what is that material, if you don't mind? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salmobytes 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2021 Here's a closeup of the bottom of a Right Hackle, manipulated with a photo editor to make the criss-cross long figure eight wrap stand out. That one loose wrap holds the hackle in place just long enough to apply some glue. Any glue will work. I've used them all. A Right Hackle can be soft stuff that goes on the bottom of a nymph. On dry flies I like Snow Shoe Rabbit, carpet scraps and Zelon. On the fly at the top of this thread one clump of duck flank forms both abdomen and wing. But wing can be a separate material.
