Not sure if I understand the question, Reuven. Most Spey Hackle is from Blue Eared Pheasant or Rooster Schlappen. I will tend to use the material in the same manner as using hen hackle on wet flies...I'll fold the hackle and wrap the appropriate number of turns for the fly pattern, If it's too bulky, I'll strip one side and wrap. There's a good article by Bob Petti on Spey Hackles: http://globalflyfisher.com/staff/petti/garage/spey/ I've tried to strip the Spey Hackle to cut down on bulk, as Ronn Lucas as recommended, but I totally fail at this method and ruin to many Spey Hackles. Again, I'm not sure if this was in the direction of your question but since I'm one of those "lurkers" I thought I'd make my contribution for a change.
