Re: [VFB] Brittle Hackle

You girls...  I always wondered if conditioner would work.

 

Deb, how goes the salmon flies?  I had 2 good tugs on a full dress Torrish that wasn't good enough to frame.  Either the big lake run browns or an early steelhead took a shining to it.

 

Cheers,

It sounds like a great idea though.  I bet the brittleness won't return all that quickly.

I also soak the hackles  when they get a bit dry and brittle. I've found that a good hair conditioner solution (and I make it about a capful to 1 cup of water) seems to work the very best for the soaking.  Hope this helps. Joyce
