Michael Ross 1 month ago Really like these "soft hackle dries". The Clyde style you tied were the first I had seen. A little extra movement to the dry. 1 Reply

John O Keeffe 1 month ago Lovely tie Davie.. Another pattern that could use different materials to match different hatches. 1 Reply michael shaw 1 month ago (edited) As with the Grunter, the partridge hackle is what makes this so effective. With the Grunter. I have seen it both traditional and hackle tied in first. I tend to construct them traditionally. What is your view? I have just found some of your grunters in your prior videos. 1 Reply

Half Outdoor Guy 1 month ago Hey SIr, how do you decide or know which end of the hackle, or whatever feather you may be using, to tie in to start wrapping? Does it matter which end one uses? Reply
