Hackling a Dry Fly I have opted for very basic patterns here, concentrating on showing the hackling approach. However, the technique is equally valid for multi-hackle or winged dries.  Tie in the hackle directly behind the eye of the hook, shiny side up.  Complete the tail and body of the fly, leaving one-third of the hook shank open 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. |
