[VFB] trimming hackle

[Richard Zieger]

I think more folks do it that would admit to it.   How many folks have cut the hackle of the top and bottom of a fly?    I read about tying an inch worm and the one step was to cut the hackle short before wraping it over the chenille to make it look fuzzy.   I will admist this is a little diffrent than cutting hackle down to size.   Also there was a thread a while ago about spinninghackle on when the barbs were to long.   Now I will run away and hide.   Rick
