About this fly
Note: The hackle starts at the front of the wings with 1 full turn and openly spirals up the thorax finishing with 1 full turn. The hackle is then curved using a 90 degree hard object like the edge of a pair of scissors. Start with the rear hackle and the edge of the object at the bottom. Using your fingers or thumb press the hackle into the edge and pull up. Do this all the way around the hackle finishing at the front behind the head.
