Tying question. I have been looking at several sites showing tutorials
for tying an elk-hair caddis. Most of them show the hackle being tied
in at the front of the dubbing (toward the eye of the hook), then
palmered back to the top of the bend, then forward (through the hackle
now in place) toward the eye, and the starting point of the hackle. Do
you-all subscribe to this back-then-forward method, or do any of you tie
the hackle in at the top of the bend of the hook and make only one pass
(back to front) with the palmering? What is the rationale for your
choice??
Do you include a wire rib to wrap over the hackle?
Enquiring minds, etc.
