MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2019 When using EP brushes on the front of large flies, do you wrap like dry fly hackles? If so, would you cut the side nearest the hook OR Do you keep the brush perpendicular, but flat on the hook and overlap and work the fibers towards the back of the hook?

Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2019 Perpendicular, and fold back the fibers, the classic guys call it doubling, or folding.Once tied in, pull bobbing toward you with a little tension, slightly moisten the fibers and pull them toward the back of fly, this helps prevent the fibers from getting trapped Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
