Rodney,
If you make the Sowbug I will be glad to show you how to fold a
hackle.
Chuck,
I don't know what it is, but I have a heck of a
time trying to "fold" hackle... So basically I do the same and also
make a couple "extra" wraps to thicken it... There's a tying
instructional on FAOL by Ron Lucas, who shows the procedure of "folding
hackle" and he does recommend that if you have a hard time "folding" hackle
to do just that, strip one side of the feather and then tie it in, but you
have to make a couple extra wraps of hackle because it's quite
sparse...

Subject: [VFB] Hackle tying
proceedure
Folks: I don't wanna make any late, great tyers turn
over in their graves, or any hear keel over, but I have tried something
that seems to work well for Me, but have never read or heard of anybody
else doing it. Seems that whenever I try to tie in wet hackle, I ALWAYS
grab barbs with the threads, and they end up going frontwards, backwards,
sideways, all over but straight... So... I stripped ALL the barbs off one
side of the quill. Tied it in so the proper side would be forward when it
was tied. Allowed twice the quill length to make up for the missing barbs,
and then just wrap it around the shank. Works like a charm... Anybody ever
done this??? Chuck
