Now, that all said, and thanks for the replies, what do you say to the hackle being wound from front to back on the Elk Hair Caddis in order to improve its "skittability" by pushing the water under the fly.
You would change the taper produced by the hackle just by making a decision of whether to tie in the tip of the feather or the base first. That way, regardless of which end of the fly you start to palmer from, you end up with the result you want.
