Hi List, back to ff-topics.
I'm wondering what your preferred hackle are. I'm not thinking too much on brands - although we can discuss this too. Do you tie more with genetic hackle or do you prefer the regular chicken (indian hackle, if it translates correct), do you tie with necks or with saddles? Advantages, disadvantages. I myself currently move from saddles to necks. Not because of the quality of the single feather. The necks offer a larger variety of different sizes. The saddles seams to have a really nearrow bandwith. Some years ago I was searching for hackle on my saddles which are small enough, today I find usually feather which are too small for my flies. And I still tie most of my fishing flies in the 12 to 16 range. Good night, dear list - it's bedtime over here. Rene
