  1. I'm tying a few buggers today and wanted to see if anyone had any advice on the hackle or an alternative to saddle hackle. The saddle hackle I have is all just so stiff. The action in the water is minimal. I was thinking about using marabou and found a post on here about a guy who used marabou. With all that said, any ideas, advice, etc? Maybe Ice Wing? I'll try it now
  2. If it matters, I mostly tie for bass, bream and salt water
  3. A friend of mine got me a Walmart bag full of white tail deer body hair (plus wood duck feather, turkey feathers, mule deer body hair and black bear hair) from a taxidermist friend of his. With that said: How can I bleach the hair so it can be dyed lighter colors such as yellow, pink, chartreuse, etc? I've seen some posts of people using RIT dye, but being that most of the hair is dark on the tips, I'd like to find a way to lighten it's natural color to make dying easier. I figure if I can get these huge pieces of hair for free, why not try to dye them and save a looooot of money. Any and all advice is much appreciated! (Hopefully will have a few tails coming soon too!)
  4. Ive been trying to building my own leaders or trying to anyway. I've had pretty good success until I started trying to cast some big bass flies. The most recent one I've used is 3' 40lb flouro, 2-3' 20lb, 18'' 14lb, then 1x or 2x Tippett. Any ideas? I'm casting an 8wt
