  1. Hello my name is Brian. Ive been reading the posts on here on and off and finally decided to register. Do any of you guys tie soft hackles with hen pheasant? I havent seen much about using hen feathers. I usually tie up some size ten soft hackles that work real well for bluegills, crappie, etc..
  2. I tie soft hackles in by the butt ends most of the time. Some feathers obviously have thicker stems and are harder to get the look you want though. I find that it is much faster to tie in by the stem. I have problems tying in by the tips with some ruffed and especially spruce grouse feathers.
