steelsmith04 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2006 Ok I thought I'd get a start on them but I came acrossed a personal conflict with it. I wasnt able to decide if everyone would be ok with the color scheme I decided on. I started off with green for the tail Then I used peacock herl for the body. If you guys would prefer a different color body then tell me i can get a different color. I know the peacock herl isnt pretty but they're amazing little workhorses. and of course I ended up using brown feathers as hackle. I dont have hackle feathers and brown is the only color feather i have that would work as a hackle. All the other feathers are soft and fuzzy such as the tail. I form a dubbing loop and put the fibers in it and twist it. once twisted it looks like a pipe cleaner. sorta. Then wrap it, the hair on the pipe cleaners or peacock herl make sure the "hackle" fibers point up. Front view of hackle I know this one isnt great. I just wanted to tie a really quick one so everyone could get an idea of what they'd be getting if you guys dont have me change the color scheme. When I find out if I'm gonna be changing the colors I'll finish tying them up. Seth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
