My issue with Swiss Straw is that it's so easily shredded by fish or even my hands when tying. I tried using yellow/golden swiss straw for a stonefly back and it was a mess.

I've been meaning to try hacklestacking soft hackle on a nymph but haven't gotten around to it. Now I'm inspired. Did you have to change your technique at all vs. a dry fly?

Paulmet 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2022 Muddled Killer. A killer style fly combined with the virtues of a sparsely dressed muddler. Hence the name. Partridge ( 2 a side) , root beer flash, deer hair and a red wool body. Effectiveness? I have no idea, but could be fun to try Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hackle looked identical to the pheasant tail tail, so I assumed it was a nymph... Anyway, that's what I'm going to try -- a hackle-stacker nymph with some sort of wing case pulled over the hackle. If I do it I'll post it. Did you use a gallows tool? I don't own one, but am considering it due to the difficulty of holding the material in my hands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been thinking of getting one for hackle stickers and paraloop style flies myself. Just can't pull the trigger. Plus it gives me an excuse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made my own a while back when I started tying Carnage variations using a mono core. Simple to make and a whole lot cheaper. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
