EP brushes

Recommended Posts

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?

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
