Del you can tie killer drys without using hackle or just a few turns.  With CDC you can tye just about the whole fly.  Contact me off list, I maybe be able to help you out on a few things.   What size drys do you use the most?  Import necks may work well for you.  With today's floatants you can even float some pretty webby hackle!

Subject: [VFB] A question for the pros.

Listers,
       Now is the time for everyone to fess up on a little secret. What is you deepest tying failure? Mine is that I can't tie dry flies well enough to fish. They either fall apart, are so ugly they are scary, or they sink like rocks. So I buy (shudder) most of my dries.
       Not being able to afford the right hackles don't help though either.
       I can do E.H.C.'s and other hair wing flies though well enough to fish.
