Hackling a Wet Fly

Posted Image

Tie in the hackle directly behind the eye of the hook, dull side up. Notice that one side of the stem is stripped bare here. This aids in achieving a sparse hackle needed for this pattern.

Complete the body of the fly, leaving adequate space for the hackle.

Wrap the hackle toward the "shoulder" of the body and trap the tip with a turn of thread. Trim the excess.

Wrap the thread though the hackle being careful not to bind down any fibers. Use a three-turn whip finish to produce a small, clean head.
