Re: [VFB] Palmering a hackle.

[mark romero]

The normal way IS by the tip, for a Wolly Bugger of course. But, try it the 
other way sometime, gets an interesting effect. What you need to do, is make 
sure you have a hackle long enough so that the fibers/barbs will still be 
long enough by the time you get up to the head. Then pull it throught the 
water and see. mark

Another hackle question.   Do you prefer to tie the hackle in by the tip or 
the butt?

  If it's a palmered hackle on a wet fly (like wooley worm)  I tie it in 
by the tip.  In all other cases, by the butt.
